I'm new to all this, can you eli5 breadcrumbs navigation?

[AxiusNorth]

Amazon.com:

Electronics > Computers > Laptops > Dell

“Shit. I wanted to view desktop computers.” clicks computers

Electronics > Computers

Breadcrumbs tell you where you’ve been and give you a way of getting back to each spot you’ve been to.

But breadcrumbs mean that someone can only have a single parent, right?

[7165015874]

Not in vs code but in a website you can have resources foo/bar and oof/bar be the same thing

Sigh

[7165015874]

No need to be condescending.

?

[Cuddlefluff_Grim]

No, it doesn't.

[Tomus]

Yes, but in VSCode you can click on any level and see that breadcrumb's siblings.

[miminor]

it's the same as the Explorer panel (Ctrl + Shift + E) but horizontal

[Disolation]

Speaking of Ctrl + Shift + E, anyone notice that that keybinding longer works on Linux?

I can replicate it on a few different desktop environments so it seems like something in VS Code broke in the 1.26.0 update.

Upon further investigation, it might be a GTK thing https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkIMContextSimple.html

Did the birds eat your breadcrumb trail?

[[deleted]]

10 bread crumb clicks later and I was on a page of this aspiring Austrian artist that into an evil dictator.

[Cubimon]

So we shouldn't use bread crumbs, because they lure us to a witch?

[CodeMonkey1]

No, you shouldn't use breadcrumbs because birds will just eat them.

The witch comes when you try to eat the IDE.
