I'm planning to write a Visual Studio Code extension and it need to save some information for example a counter. The user can press a shortcut to increase or decrease the counter and the value of the counter will be saved some where. Next time when the user starts Visual Studio Code, the extension can load the counter's last value. My question is, where is the proper place to store this info? You're probably looking for the Memento API . The ExtensionContext has two different memento instances you can access: workspaceState A memento object that stores state in the context of the currently

Hi I am developing an extension for VSCode. I am decorating the text editor and hovering some items. Is it possible to make clickable items at hoverMessage and modify the range according to it. The extension is at: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=serayuzgur.crates You can see the hoverMessage from the GIF Matt Bierner Yes, using markdown you can then create a command link that will execute a command when a user clicks on it: import * as vscode from 'vscode'; const myContent = new vscode.MarkdownString('[link](command:myCommand?arg1)'); // Command Uris are disabled by

I have been developing a vscode extension that consits of client and server using the language server protocol. At the moment, I am trying to do the following thing: when the server detects a certain condition, he requests the client to load a certain number of files into the workspace. I am having serious problems doing this. Since the language server protocol does not have a specific request to do this I thought about sending a message from the server to the client and once the client detects this message he would proceed to execute this command. The problem is, I also do not know how to do

I wish to create a VSCode extension with an entry form on it - some way of input. So far I have only seen document processing or output for an extension. How can you display a form of input fields in a vscode extension? How much data do they need to enter? If it's not much, you should be able to handle it with a series of InputBoxes From https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/vscode-api showInputBox(options?: InputBoxOptions): Thenable<string> Opens an input box to ask the user for input. The returned value will be undefined if the input box was canceled (e.g. pressing ESC). Otherwise

When I try to install any extension in Visual Studio Code (i.e., by pressing Ctrl+P and then running ext install RustyCode ), I get a message that No extensions found . However, this only happens when I run VS Code directly from source repository. I.e., after: git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode.git cd vscode git checkout 1.0.0 scripts/code.sh But, if I run VS Code from official builds , then I'm able to install extensions. So, how can I enable downloading and installing extensions from Visual Studio Marketplace when I run VS Code directly from source repository? (Is Visual Studio

I'm building a VS Code extension and it uses a TreeDataProvider to create a list of items. The list has nested children and I would like to show a count for these in the parent. I've looked for examples and tried to understand how the git extension does it but no luck. Perhaps someone can provide an example of how to do this. Support for custom decorations in views appears to be a work-in-progress. There has been an API for it in the "proposed state" for a while, see: Make decoration provider API public (#54938) relevant section in vscode.proposed.d.ts Source Control and Problem decorations
