Refresh Visual Studio Code list of files

Visual Studio Code (Version 0.10.11, on OSX) does not refresh the files in a folder. Is there any way to force it to refresh. Currently I have to close and reopen the whole program.

Solution 1:

EDIT: In the meanwhile a reload button has been added to the file explorer widget.

Use the workbench.action.reloadWindow command. Go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shotcuts and define a shortcut for this command. On my system it's placed on Ctrl+F5. The entry in keybindings.json looks like this:

{
  "key": "ctrl+f5",
  "command": "workbench.action.reloadWindow",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

Solution 2:

If you hover over the workspace root in the navigator, four icons appear to the right of it. The third of those icons, a circular arrow, is Refresh -- it reloads the file list.
