A Finder toolbar icon to open current selected file/folder with VS Code.

How to use?

• Download the zip file
• Unzip to Applications folder (or any folder that you won't mistakenly delete the app)
• Right-click to open to pass the Mac security check
• if you cannot open, try this: (thanks @d0972058277 and @ksmarty)

  cd Downloads/Open\ in\ VS\ Code.app/Contents/MacOS/
  chmod +x droplet
  

• Hold Option+CMD and drag the application to toolbar
• Mojave users: to disable the system warning "Allowing control will provide access to documents and data..." when using the app, add the application in preferences -> security and privacy -> privacy -> accessibility
• Enjoy
