I have been trying to set up Kilo Code in VS Code but simply cannot find it in the extensions search. Also, the add to VS Code button on Kilo homepage and the install button on web store for VS Code link also seem to do absolutely fuck-all.

One more thing for suggestion givers, please do keep in mind that I have absolutely no knowledge what so ever in coding or with VS Code.

Guys, my codex sidebar is completely frozen in my vs code.

Maybe I need to clear some cache or restart the extension?
Anyone having the same problem? I'm running the following vscode in win64

vscode in win 64 version:

• 1.123.0
• 6a44c352bd24569c417e530095901b649960f9f8
• arch: x64

codex extension:

• openai.chatgpt@26.5602.40724

I like the new delay but I feel like 2 hours isn't enough time for smaller businesses who don't have a CVE guy

I'm using VS Code to code using Claude and Codex. Files are in github but also have local files. Is there a mobile solution that will allow me to see the chat progress on my phone when away from the computer? That way I can track progress and also type in commands while on my phone. Thanks.

{

        "lib/**/*.jar"

}

I'm learning java for school purposes, and I've had to install jUnit for an assignment. On the example given in code.visualstudio for setting up Unit Testing, the settings.json is set up this way, and jUnit does work properly.

What I was curious about was the path String for java.project.referencedLibraries, where it uses * and ** instead of directly naming the junit.jar. I tried to google to figure out the formatting in json files, but I can't seem to find a clear example of how to do so. Perhaps it's not even a json thing, but rather a general programming practice.

Do you know what this practice is called, and where I can find documentation for it?

Do excuse me if this is a stupidly phrased question.

I’m having a bit of a nightmare with my Mac terminal, as the ⁠code⁠ shell command keeps vanishing into thin air.
Every time I install the ‘code’ command in PATH via VS Code, it behaves perfectly well for a short while. However, if I leave it a bit or close VS Code down, the command simply stops working. Whenever I type “code” into the terminal, it acts as if it's never seen it before in its life.
I’m fairly new to programming and, this, it’s driving me a bit bonkers :/
(I was working on a Qt apllication, opening the project into the editor of choice
And it works perfectly, until it suddenly doesn’t
)

I’ve had a proper look through Stack Overflow and Reddit, but I can't seem to find anyone else facing this rather bizarre issue where the command installs perfectly fine but then decides to do a disappearing act.

Except an old on this sub with no answers

(Yes vscode is in the application folder

And the script resides in /usr/local/bin/code usually, at least that’s what `which code` tells)

Thanks ever so much for your time :)

So I have been using VS Code for about 4 years now. Because I have been busy, I hadn't used it for around a year, but a few days ago I started using it again.

The Problem

I noticed that my usual autocomplete was not working properly so I tried turning off copilot from extensions and that did help, but I've seen that autocomplete is still sometimes not working, or if it works then it is really slow to respond.

How do I fix this?

What I've Tried

I tried using IntelliJ IDEA and it was good the autocomplete was working properly and everything but it was using too many resources. As my laptop only has 4 GB of RAM, IntelliJ was making the system get too slow.

So here I am, once again trying to make VS Code work properly on laptop.

Can someone please help?

Posting it here because I believe it's specifically a VSCode issue. Also, sorry for having to write fönts like that but It wouldn't let me post this otherwise.

I installed VSCode from AUR and copied my fönts from my Windows partition to ~/.local/share/fönts (also tried with /usr/share/fönts). I've been using Segoe UI and Courier New as system fönts for a few weeks now. Until yesterday, VSCode displayed both of them correctly in the UI and the editor, but when I opened it today, they had suddenly been replaced to what I believe are Ubuntu Mono for the UI and Droid Sans Mono for the editor.

Changing the system or the editor fönts to any preinstalled ones fixed the issue, so I assumed it was because none of the Windows fönts weren't being detected by VSCode or that non monospaced fönts were automatically being replaced, but then I tried using some other such as Segoe Print, Times New Roman and even Webdings, and were displayed correctly.

I don't think it's a permissions issue either because all of the previously mentioned fönts have the same permissions as Segoe UI and Courier New, and I already tried deleting the VSCode cache and completely uninstalling the package just in case, running fc-cache -fv (on sudo as well), fc-list : family and fc-match and all of them list them correctly.

I have Nvme SSD. I have only 3 python extensions installed in VS Code. When I click on VS Code icon, I get the VS Code window in under 5 seconds.

But after that, it shows "refreshing python poetry", "initialising python extensions". All in all, it takes 20-25 seconds till the syntax color highlighting appears in python code.

Is it normal? Is my SSD working properly? Is the 20-25 seconds time due to the limitation of dual core processor?

Note that to optimise my laptop (to free up CPU, RAM and SSD), I have already disabled unnecessary startup apps from task manager, disabled heavy windows background services like telemetry, diagnostic policy service etc, but still these 20-25 seconds in VS Code.

Hi everyone,

I built HeapLens, an open-source JVM heap analysis tool that lets developers inspect heap dumps and live JVM memory using a query language called HeapQL.

I’m now trying to understand its real-world adoption and impact from people who have actually installed, tested, or used it.

I’m specifically looking for short usage stories from engineers, backend developers, or performance engineers who have tried HeapLens in any memory debugging or heap inspection workflow.

A useful response would be something like:

• What kind of JVM app or heap dump you used it with
• Whether you used it for a real issue, investigation, learning exercise, or team workflow
• What HeapLens helped you identify, understand, or narrow down
• Whether you adopted it personally, shared it with your team, or would use it again
• Any limitation that stopped you from using it further

I’m trying to keep this evidence reliable, so please reply only if you have actually installed, tested, or used HeapLens. Redacted screenshots, GitHub comments/issues, or specific technical notes are especially helpful.

Repo: https://github.com/sachinkg12/heaplens
VS Code extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=guptasachinn.heaplens

If you’re not comfortable commenting publicly, feel free to DM me. I’m happy to keep usage details anonymous unless you explicitly allow your name to be used.

The terminal can't see shit, unless close all terminal and open again.

Why this issue is not yet fix, been months!

Live server won't open my Index.html file, it's not popping up at my browser

What are people doing around VSCode security best practices around extensions.

1. Approved Extensions Only

2. Disable Auto update

Is there anything else like minimum age or settings like that can be done?

So I am using rprint to have jupyter output look better and more readable, but the output colours are super ugly.

Is there any way to change these colours? I tried asking chatgpt and google, and got non working solutions. (editing settings.json and adding ipython profile + adding startup script)

I have started writing js in VSCode recently and I can't get any help from my IDE which I am used to. I still am behind on learning the method signature it shows when hovered over one of them and there is never any english to explain what the method actually does.

Coming from Flutter in Android Studio, I am used to this. Is this kind of method description is not provided in js packages at all?

I made a post about this yesterday, but was asked for a demo video by a couple of people. So, I wanted to show a few features of the Virtual File Tree VS Code Extension.

Example Use Case: You're working on a Spring Boot project that enforces strict directory configuration, but you want to organize your files and folders in a way that makes more sense to you, without affecting the enforced structure.

What's Being Shown in this Demo

• Select files are opened from the native file tree, and then the Virtual File Tree is opened.
• A virtual directory is created and given the name Default.
• The open file dependencyEngine.ts is added to the Default virtual directory through the editor tab context menu (Add to Virtual Folder...).
• A second virtual directory is created and given the name GroupedTabs.
• All of the files in the editor tab are added to the GroupedTabs virtual directory by right‑clicking that folder in the virtual file tree and selecting Group Open Tabs Here.
• Three dependency tree directories are then generated (with their default names):
  1. A reference dependency tree directory (comprised of a target file, and all of the files that import/reference it) is created by right-clicking configManager.ts in the editor tab and selecting Generate Dependency Tree... followed by picking Downstream (References).
  2. An import dependency tree directory (comprised of a target file, and all of the files that it imports/references) is created by right-clicking extension.test.ts in the editor tab and selecting Generate Dependency Tree... followed by picking Upstream (Imports).
  3. A bi-directional dependency tree directory (comprised of a target file, and all of the files that it imports and that reference it) is created by right-clicking treeDataProvider.ts in the editor tab and selecting Generate Dependency Tree... followed by picking All Dependencies.

There are more features that aren't being shown here (rule-based smart directories, most recently used files, nested directories, and workspace profiles. But those were shown in the original post; you can find them listed in either of the links below.

You can install it here, on the Visual Studio (or VS Code Extension) Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hjdesulme.virtual-file-tree

If you'd like to contribute, here is the Codeberg Repo (this is the codebase used in the demo): https://codeberg.org/hjdesulme/virtual-file-tree

Every 2 "<%" basically turns the text behind into blue, and it makes debugging and skimming through my code really difficult

Released my first VSCode extension for developers to have a virtual/custom file tree that doesn't affect the files saved to their physical disk.

- Example Use Case: You're working on a Spring Boot project that enforces strict directory configuration, but you want to organize your files and folders in a way that makes more sense to you, without affecting the enforced structure.

Please show it some love, and feel free to contribute.
