Drag files without shift

[fabb]

Hi! Is there a reason why files can only be dragged in when holding shift? Coming from copilot where we can just drag in files/folders/tabs/problems without holding shift, it seems like an unnecessary complication.

Hi @fabb! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Roo-Code team.

Currently, Roo Code requires you to hold the Shift key when dragging files from the File Explorer into the chat input. This behavior was introduced to enable @-mentioning files via drag-and-drop, and the documentation specifies that you must hold Shift after you start dragging the files for this to work. However, I could not find any documentation or discussion explaining the specific reason for this design choice, nor any information about plans to change it or allow drag-and-drop without Shift, as you described in Copilot. If this workflow is important to you, it may be worth sharing your feedback with the Roo Code team for future consideration.

You can see more details in the official documentation:

• Update notes v3.7.5
• Tips & Tricks

To reply, just mention my name @dosu.

I shared my feedback here, or should i rather create an issue?

I think this is a VSCode thing that we can't control...

Now that the copilot extension will be open sourced, we could check the source code if it only uses public vscode apis for this.
