File explorer & external drag-drop

The file explorer lives on the left side of each worktree. It tracks your on-disk files in real time — create, rename, delete, and move all map to filesystem operations, so external changes (say, from the agent) show up instantly.

External drag-drop

• Drop files from Finder/Explorer into the file tree to copy them in.
• Drop an image into a markdown editor to insert it at the cursor.
• Drop files onto an agent terminal to paste their paths at the prompt.
• For SSH worktrees, drag-drop also works — Orca uploads the file to the remote host before completing the drop, so the agent sees the file as a real on-disk path.

Git status

Files are colored by git status — untracked, modified, staged, ignored. Right-click for the usual actions: discard, stage, rename.

Right-click a single file and choose Copy to place the file itself on the OS clipboard. For SSH worktrees, Orca first stages the remote file locally, then writes that staged file reference to the clipboard; remote folders are excluded.

Search a folder

Right-click a folder and choose Find in Folder to open Search with that folder already scoped. You can also select a folder in the file explorer and press Cmd-Shift-F on macOS or Ctrl-Shift-F on Windows and Linux.

Next steps

• Monaco editor & autosave — edit files after you find the match you need.
• Diff viewer — review the changes your agent or editor made.
