Coming from Matlab and still learning the efficient use of VS Code.  
Please let me know if any items have been explained elsewhere.

- Emacs-like indenting via TAB-key.  
Good replacement found [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sakapoko.vscode-emacs-indent).

- Explorer pane with extended functionality: up, back, … showing the content of the actual folder.  
Partial [replacement](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.listFiles), any better?

Command pane: Go to file (ctrl-p). Really quick access to files.

Thx @PetrKryslUCSD OK, that gives the Search files by name field.

A real(-time) pane has still some merits, if you do not remember the file name, or to see if a bunch of files were generated during the last run.
