Features
- Interactive tree view — browse your project structure in the activity bar sidebar
- Copy to clipboard — copy the ASCII tree to your clipboard in one click
- Open in editor — open the tree as a plain-text document in a new tab

.mdfile - Expand all — expand every folder in the tree at once
