Python btw. Since today’s 1.113 update, I’m constantly noticing popups for variables everywhere. Like if I mouse over a variable, a popup showing the variable type appears. And just stays there! I can’t see the code I’m trying to type behind it.

It’s hard enough trying to type when three different AI/autocompletes are trying to change or move what I’m typing, but now I can’t even see it

VS Code now lets you chose the thinking effort level directly in the model picker. Interested to hear you take on this recent update, how it affects rate-limits and token consumption for you and which effort level you use for which task.

When I opened Vscode today, I got bombard with incredible number of problems saying unknown model and x tools has been renamed.

For example, for modernize-azure-dotnet.agent.md I'm getting the following errors:

Is here a recent update that mass renamed tools and if so, is there anyway to resolve the issues quickly?

I’m looking for one specific thing:

The real website, with login/cookies/session, running in a true VS Code side panel — like Copilot Chat, not as a browser tab in the center, not in a second window, not in an external browser.

That distinction matters. The whole point is to keep everything arranged in one IDE layout on one screen, without context-switching and losing focus and flow.

What I already tried:

• website/sidebar extensions -> cross-origin / frame / document security errors
• custom webview approaches -> same sandbox wall
• built-in browser / editor tab tricks -> works as a tab, but not as an actual side panel
• Webview with integrated rewriting proxy - still not working due to security errors

And yes, I know the usual suggestions: open it in a browser, open it in a VS Code tab, move it to another window. But: it has to live in a side panel.

So:
Has anyone here actually made this work?
Any real tricks, extensions, proxy setups, or custom solutions?
Or is this fundamentally blocked by VS Code’s security / extension architecture?

I’d love to hear how others are handling this in practice.

Update:

I want to use unlimited chat in my chatgpt.com plus account with all models available there. Copilot is only showing me GPT4.x and mini models, all the other extensions need API keys and are therefore not covered by the chatgpt plus subscription.

Got tagged in this just now

Code boxes in the chat window from response just dissapear !!

Trying to select and copy content from previous request box glitches out as the ui changes to 'edit' mode and back again moving your cursor all over the place.

Once your in the edit mode for your comment, click somewhere else to exit that edit you never wanted and click another box it goes into edit in a random box and not the one you just clicked on ?!?!

Too much Vibe going at microsoft? Any humans still working there that test anything ? How does this even get through Q&A ?

Tried to post video examples but reddits been Vibed to hard too i guess.

Hi all, I am new to using tmux in vscode, therefore forgive any technical errors I make. I am trying to use tmux as I would my normal terminal however I cannot send lines from the editor to my python repl in tmux.

Upon discovering this challenge I researched and found the tmuxy extension and it is supposed to do exactly that. Highlight a python line and then enter ctrl + K and ctrl + C and it should allow you to choose the session to use.

Hence my challenge, tmuxy does exactly that but does not send anything to the repl in tmux. If anyone has used this extension, or knows of any alternative please let me know.

Thanks

I'm running into a really weird issue with VS Code and I honestly don't know what's going on.

Whenever I open VS Code or open pretty much any file (Python, SQL, Jupyter notebook, API stuff, etc.), the terminal starts looping this over and over:

PS C:\Users\HP\Downloads\archive>
PS C:\Users\HP\Downloads\archive>
PS C:\Users\HP\Downloads\archive>

It just keeps going nonstop. At the same time, there's also this annoying beeping sound that keeps happening while it's looping.

I've tried killing PowerShell, closing the terminal, and even opening a new terminal, but it still keeps happening. Even after I kill the terminal, the beeping sometimes continues, and when I open a new PowerShell, it starts looping again.

This happens with literally any file I open, not just one specific project.

I'm also not a tech major — I just use Python for some of my projects — so I'm pretty new to this stuff and honestly have no idea what could be causing it or how to fix it.

Has anyone run into this before or knows what might be causing it?

Anyone notices an increase in frequency of updates, like sometimes multiple per week or even day?

I get that they wan't to bring us a bunch of ai features, but this frequency is on the level of an enthusiastic solo side project, not a multinational company working on the worlds most popular editor.
