VSCode :: How can I duplicate directories and files from within the file explorer?

Question

Ideally, I would right-click on the folder/directory or file I want to duplicate, choose "Duplicate" and, hopefully, would be asked in the same step to give the new duplicated file or directory a new name.

Looking at the current options, I couldn't find a way to do this on latest VSCode 1.19.1 (macOS):

Am I missing something? Is there other way to do this?

The more I use VSCode, the more I get used to it and, lately, I found myself barely needing to use the terminal provided in the Panel, or switching to a terminal app, for simple stuff like this.

To duplicate a file within a folder:

• right click on the file,
• press copy
• now right click on the folder, and
• press paste
• the file will be duplicated into the same folder with "...-1" or " copy" appended to the file name
