Folder Drag And Drop Dock Icon Support

+1 too please. I’ve always thought this was a macOS native feature to be honest :sweat_smile:

Also +1ing this. This is the main reason I still end up keeping VSCode open in tandem, which then really ruins my workflow.

saw a workaround on the Github issue but hadn’t seen it mention in this thread yet.

  1. Start dragging the item (file / folder) towards the icon as you normally would.
  2. Before you reaching the icon, hold down the Command (⌘) key.
  3. Drop the item onto the icon.

That should allow you to achieve the desired action (until they get it working without need for the command key step).

It really works.

+1 to this.
Seems odd that an editor based on VS Code would remove this functionality.
This is something I do daily when working on projects that I’m not accessing from the terminal for some reason or the other.
Basically every other IDE does this–VS Code, Jetbrains IDEs, XCode, SublimeText and missing this ability makes it harder for me to adopt Cursor as my default.

it’s possible to open a folder (or a file) dragging it on the cursor icon on the dock by pressing CMD while releasing it

I use dragging folders/files to dock icons all the time and this would be awesome to have.

It works, thanks a lot.

Cursor team, please implement the feature.

This works for me as of today
