StudioZip:Commands and Settings

Commands

All commands are in the category Studio ZIP. Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and type "Studio ZIP".

Command	ID	What it does
Studio ZIP: Mount Archive as Workspace Folder	studioZip.mountArchive	Adds an archive to the workspace as an extra folder. From the Command Palette a file dialog asks for the archive. From the Explorer context menu it uses the file you right-clicked. See Mounting an archive.
Studio ZIP: Unmount Archive Workspace Folder	studioZip.unmountArchive	Shows a list of the mounted archives and removes the one you pick from the workspace. If nothing is mounted, it shows No archives are mounted.
Studio ZIP: Open in Studio ZIP	studioZip.openArchiveEditor	Opens an archive in the Studio ZIP tab. Without an argument a file dialog asks for the archive. This command is hidden from the Command Palette. You can still bind it to a key.

The file dialog of the commands above lists these types under Archives: zip, jar, war, ear, aar, apk, ipa, vsix, nupkg, whl, xpi, crx, epub, tar, tgz, taz, gz, bz2, tbz, tbz2, xz, txz, zst, tzst, br, 7z, rar, deb, udeb, ar, a, rpm, cpio, iso, cab, asar, unitypackage, crate, gem, msix, appx, aab and love.

Keybindings

Studio ZIP adds no keybindings of its own. To add one, open File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts and search for the command ID. For example, in keybindings.json:

{ "key": "ctrl+alt+m", "command": "studioZip.mountArchive" }

Settings

Open File → Preferences → Settings and search for "Studio ZIP", or edit settings.json.

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
studioZip.preview.maxFileSizeBytes	number, 0 or more	5242880 (5 MB)	Files larger than this (uncompressed) are not previewed automatically in the Studio ZIP tab. The pane shows a Show anyway button instead. 0 turns the limit off. See Large files.
studioZip.detection.useMagicBytes	boolean	true	Detects the archive format from the first bytes of the file. If no signature matches, the file extension is used. With false only the file extension counts. See Format detection.

Both settings are read when they are needed. studioZip.preview.maxFileSizeBytes applies to the next file you select. studioZip.detection.useMagicBytes applies to archives opened after the change. An archive that is already open keeps its format until it is closed.

Example:

{
  "studioZip.preview.maxFileSizeBytes": 20971520,
  "studioZip.detection.useMagicBytes": true
}

Editor

View type	Name	Priority
studioZip.archive	Studio ZIP	default

Studio ZIP is the default editor for all patterns listed on Supported Formats. To open such a file with a different editor, right-click it and choose Open With…. To change the default for a pattern, use the VS Code setting workbench.editorAssociations.

File system

Studio ZIP registers the URI scheme zipfs:. Files opened with Open in editor and mounted archives use it. The extension is activated when VS Code first needs this scheme or the Studio ZIP editor.
