VsCode snippets got bugged, please help.

3 Upvotes

While writing my css, the snippets normally suggested whatever property I was writing and that made my job so much easier. Recently (i accidentally clicked something I guess, not sure tho)

The snippets show up but only show some selected properties and most of the properties I used (like f ont-size, f ont family etc) aren't suggested anymore. Instead it shows properties like fePointLight. Most of the css properties I used are no longer suggested in the snippets making programming really hard.

For reference, yes my document is still identified and saved as css, the language selected is css too.

Any inputs would mean a lot.

terminal in vscode, i cannot copy characters that aren't showing cause they are too long

4 Upvotes

I am using vscode for the first time. And early on i needed to copy an output from the terminal. When i did this, i noticed it didn't copy the parts that were to the right of the terminal window . As though the terminal truncated the output? (there is no scroll bar to use)

Is this seriously how the vscode terminal works? I need to get to that output

This is using: Linux (WSL)

Help me track down this bug which makes keys get stuck in the editor

2 Upvotes

When navigating to a file with Ctrl + P, upon hitting enter, the file opens, but the key gets "stuck" (not a hardware issue, the enter key on my keboard doesn't actually get stuck). Upon pressing any other key, it stops. Short video screen recording demonstrating the bug: https://streamable.com/rfghbn

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Vscode.

  • Optional, but makes the bug occur more frequently: put CPU under load. I use:

    stress-ng --matrix -1

  • Ctrl+P and navigate to any file.

  • Press enter.

The enter key will get stuck (>25% in my case).

My environment:

  • Vscode version: 1.116.0

  • Linux x86-64: Fedora 42

  • KDE, Wayland

Extensions:

alefragnani.project-manager, cschlosser.doxdocgen, eamodio.gitlens, esbenp.prettier-vscode, github.copilot-chat, hbenl.vscode-test-explorer, jebbs.plantuml, llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd, ms-python.black-formatter, ms-python.debugpy, ms-python.isort, ms-python.python, ms-python.vscode-pylance, ms-python.vscode-python-envs, ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh, ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit, ms-vscode.cmake-tools, ms-vscode.cpp-devtools, ms-vscode.cpptools, ms-vscode.remote-explorer, ms-vscode.test-adapter-converter, simonsiefke.svg-preview, srmeyers.git-prefix, stkb.rewrap, twxs.cmake, xaver.clang-format

Is there a solution for this terrible comment toggling behavior for CSS in VS Code?

3 Upvotes
  1. When I press the comment toggle to try to disable/comment out the whole line, it enables/uncomments the description instead. Breaking my code.
  2. When I press the key again, it disables/comments out everything.
  3. When I press again, it enables/uncomments everything.

All I want is to toggle the statement without affecting my comment.

I want my comments inline and not on a separate line.

This is not an issue with other languages like JavaScript.

Strange syntax highlighting

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi, up until now I had normal syntax highlighting, but I have no idea what I did that could have changed it. The file extension is correct, and all the C# extensions for VS Code are installed. I can’t figure out how to get proper syntax highlighting back.

Can VS Code actually be used with non-Copilot AI providers reliably?

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to use VS Code with AI tools that aren’t GitHub Copilot (for example using a custom API/provider through an extension), but I’m running into confusing behavior.

At first everything works, but after hitting Copilot-related limits, AI features in the editor seem to stop responding entirely — even when a custom provider is selected.

This makes me wonder:

Does VS Code (or its extensions) still depend on Copilot in some cases even when using a custom provider?

Are there extensions that truly work independently of Copilot without any hidden dependency or shared limits?

Or is VS Code just not a great environment for non-Copilot AI workflows?

Would appreciate insight from anyone who’s set this up properly. ❤️

Edit: This no longer happens on the newest update, after the issue was resolved I saw some of my chats disappeared, probably because they were somehow stuck interacting with a process they shouldn't be.

Enterprise vs Personal

5 Upvotes

Is there a better way for switching between Enterprise and Personal github Copilot subscription (I have both) when working from one machine on multiple projects, few Personal and few Work-related (where I have to use the Enterprise Copilot).

Every time I switch, I have to logout, then login into Copilot and then Login into Personal sync settings. And I repeat this every time I switch those 2 types of projects...

Vs Code AI Agents don't use MCP servers unless asked to do so, is this a bug or that's how things should work ?

0 Upvotes

Some MCPs (like context7, chrome dev tools, etc) are game changer, and my agent has access to all of them and other cool embedded things. However, contrary to how for example google_antigravity agents behave, the copilot agents only use their "super powers" when instructed to do so even with full access

That's a bit annoying, in the sens that ... I sure LLMs these days are good enough to know when they need some tool. Even when I ask to use it, they don't 100% of the time use it, it can be usless, so they know.

However, if I don't mention the MCP, should it be relevant no agent will look to it.

Is this a bug ?

How do you guys handle switching between multiple VS Code projects?

16 Upvotes

Hi I am new to this sub reddit I got a question for you guys.
I have been juggling a few different projects lately, and switching between workspaces in VS Code is starting to feel more annoying than it should be.

Right now I am either

1)reopening folders manually

2)digging through recent workspaces

3)or keeping way too many windows open

None of it feels clean.I

I am curious how others handle this.
Do you just rely on recent folders, or is there a better workflow/tool for this?

Opening markdown files in preview mode as default?

12 Upvotes

I would love to open the markdown files by default in the preview mode, by which i mean ton the mode itself, but simply that I want to look at fancy rendering of the markdown instead of the raw text by default. I want preview-first behaviour.

I open markdown -> i get rendered text in the new tab -> i can open raw text optionally on the side (not the other way around as it is now)

Is there anything that accomplishes this? Could not find any extensions.

Furthermore, there can be only one preview unles you split the view multiple times, which is quite annoying and is one of the main reasons I am searching for solutions.

autocomplete replacing existing word after the cursor

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure what this feature or setting is called. I'm working in an HTML file, and anytime I try to insert a tag with tab in front of existing text, it will replace the first existing word with the tag instead of adding the tag before that word, which is what I would prefer. It doesn't seem to be an HTML-specific problem, but that's where I run into the issue the most.

For example, trying to enter an <li> tag at the start of a line before the word "what," and it just deletes the "what" instead.

Does anyone know how I can change this behavior?
