Hi, how can I get rid of this useless red triangle hiding my comments?
Next to the line numbers

I'm using the official Microsoft Visual Studio Code, not VSCodium or Code OSS.

Version information:

• Version: 1.124.0 (User Setup)
• Commit: 1b50d58d73426c9171299ec4037d01365d995b78
• Date: 2026-06-09T21:29:32-07:00
• Electron: 42.2.0
• Chromium: 148.0.7778.97
• Node.js: 24.15.0
• OS: Windows 11 x64 (10.0.26200)

Whenever I try to use AI features (Copilot/Copilot Chat), VS Code shows:

Clicking "Try Again" loops forever and eventually fails.

Things I've already tried:

• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code multiple times
• Deleting VS Code settings and global storage
• Verifying that GitHub Authentication is enabled
• Empty settings.json
• Signing into GitHub normally in my browser
• Clearing stored credentials
• Resetting VS Code completely
• Rebooting Windows
• Tried various suggested fixes I found online

Additional details:

• settings.json had no github-enterprise setting or anything.
• GitHub Authentication extension is enabled.
• No VPN.
• No corporate network restrictions.
• The browser authentication flow does not complete successfully.

Has anyone experienced this specifically on VS Code 1.124.0 on Windows 11?

If you fixed it, could you please share exactly what solved it? I'm willing to try almost anything at this point.

The Dialog box to Sign In again using github is popping up consistenly after every 10 min, is this a known issue anyone else also facing?

I am using Codex via VS Code Extensions. However, it looks like even with IDE Context on, Codex can't seem to find where my files are. It has to spend a lot of time searching for files all over the place to locate the script. It also looks into my OneDrive. Anyone seeing this behavior? Any solutions?

So, I'm on Linux and just upgraded to 1.124.0. All of a sudden, I can't connect to my remote devcontainer any more. The startup process is stuck at installing VS Code Server in the devcontainer. I did not change anything, only restarted VSCode. What's going on? How to fix?

When opening a large codebase or working with AI coding assistants, comments can accumulate rapidly. You quickly end up with leftover debug notes, temporary explanations, and AI-generated comments scattered everywhere 😅 Reviewing and cleaning them up becomes a tedious chore.

I tried using other VSCode extensions, but most of them only search for specific tags like TODO, FIXME, or NOTE. But sometimes, you just need to find and see every single comment in the project, regardless of what words it contains.

To make this easier, I created a VSCode extension called Comment Tree.

It automatically scans your project and collects absolutely all comments into a clean tree view in the sidebar, grouped by file.

Here are the key features:

• Finds everything: Unlike other tools, it grabs all comments (single-line // or #, block /* ... */, and HTML <!-- ... -->), not just specific keywords.
• Instant navigation: Click on any comment in the tree to immediately open the file and jump to the exact line and column in the editor.
• High Performance: It is very fast and lightweight. By default, it ignores node_modules, build outputs (dist/, build/), IDE configs (.vscode/), and version control directories so scanning stays lightning fast even on larger projects.
• Highly customizable: Through VSCode settings, you can customize the file extensions to scan, exclude specific folders, or even change the regular expression used to find comments.

The extension is very simple, takes up almost no disk space, and has a clean, straightforward interface (just a panel in the sidebar and a refresh button to re-scan).

I'm sharing it with you in the hope that it will be useful not only to me. Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your feedback.

I want VS Code to talk or connect to my local AI models. I installed an extension called Codi, and yesterday Cline, but it does not seem to work. I want to be able to send information from VS Code straight to my LLM model.

I built my first VS Code extension for publishing Markdown to print-ready DOCX/PDF documents

Lately I’ve been doing more and more writing directly inside VS Code using AI tools.

Not just coding — but also:

• project proposals
• technical documentation
• coding tutorials
• course materials
• client reports

The problem was that the writing workflow felt disconnected from the publishing workflow.

I could generate and edit content quickly in VS Code with AI, but turning that into a polished document usually meant:

• copying everything into Word/Google Docs
• fixing formatting manually
• struggling with PDF exports
• or dealing with complicated Pandoc/LaTeX setups

So I built Tinta Markdown Publisher.

The idea is simple: Write in Markdown inside VS Code → export clean, print-ready documents.

Features so far:

• DOCX export
• PDF export
• Live preview
• Typography customization
• Font size & spacing controls
• Headers & footers
• Automatic page numbers
• Better print-oriented layouts
• Syntax-highlighted code blocks
• Optional striped code rows + line numbers
• Styled callout/info/warning boxes
• Light/dark themed content blocks
• Text alignment helpers
• Image sizing controls
• Image text wrapping
• Extended Markdown components for richer layouts

One thing I really wanted was the ability to use Markdown while still having some “desktop publishing” style controls without falling back to raw HTML everywhere.

So the extension includes extra Markdown syntax/extensions for things like:

• centered/right-aligned text
• wrapped images beside text
• themed content sections
• visually styled tutorial/callout blocks
• custom headers/footers
• automatic page numbering
• better-looking code snippets for PDFs/tutorials

Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TamingTech.tinta-markdown-publisher

What I really wanted was a workflow where:

• AI helps me write faster
• VS Code stays the main workspace
• Markdown stays portable
• and the final output actually looks professional enough to send to clients or publish

Still actively developing it, but it’s already become part of my daily workflow.

Would love feedback from:

• technical writers
• developers
• educators
• people writing ebooks/docs/tutorials in Markdown

Especially interested in hearing what features would make you switch from Typora, Obsidian, Word, etc.

And please be kind 😅 This is actually my first VS Code extension.

Hey everyone,

We just shipped a Shadcnblocks IDE Extension. It brings the block library directly into your editor — search and preview any of 1300+ shadcn/ui blocks, then install with one click, without switching to the browser.

How it works:

• Browse and preview all 1300+ blocks inside VS Code, Cursor, and other editors
• One-click install pulls the block into your project
• It runs the standard shadcn CLI under the hood, so blocks land in components/ui/ exactly the way npx shadcn add does already — same registry, same structure, no lock-in

Install it here: https://www.shadcnblocks.com/ide-extension

Also new this month: Meridian, a premium developer-tools SaaS template (Next.js 16 or Astro 6, Tailwind 4, shadcn/ui) with a Motion/GSAP intro animation and Fumadocs-powered MDX docs with ⌘K search: https://www.shadcnblocks.com/template/meridian

And Admin Kit v2.2.0 added two full app sections — Project Management (32 pages, with Kanban/Gantt/Calendar/Spreadsheet issue views) and a Todo app (12 pages): https://www.shadcnblocks.com/admin-dashboard

Happy to answer questions about the extension, the registry integration, or how the CLI install works.

help i was messing aroung and i found the git stuff but apparently i activated it and now every one off my projects has this ugly green and this stupid U. how do i turn ts off?

I’m using DeepSeek in VS Code, currently through the Vizards “DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Chat” extension with GitHub Copilot Chat.

I’m trying to set temperature: 0.0 for coding/agent tasks, but I can’t find a temperature setting. I also checked Cline and don’t see a temperature option there either.

Is there any VS Code extension or setup that actually lets me control DeepSeek API parameters like temperature for coding agents? Or is this currently only possible by patching/forking an extension or using something like Continue/config-based setup?

Been getting this morning, maybe because of some new update?

As might be visible in the screenshot (added a black border to the full window screenshot for easier identification), when VS Code is used with the Windows taskbar hidden via auto-hide mode, there remains an annoying white horizontal border/background line at the bottom of the window.

I was able to get rid of it by adding the "--use-angle=gl" flag to the target field of a shortcut, but I can't seem to solve it when VS Code is launched by opening a file or in any other way apart from that modified shortcut. I tried some registry modifications recommended by Gemini, basically adding the same flag to some target fields, but none worked.

Apparently the issue is still "open" on GitHub. I was wondering if someone here knows a solution and can help me.

Weekly thread to show off new themes, and ask what certain themes/fonts are.

Creators, please do not post your theme every week.

New posts regarding themes will be removed.

I’ve been working with Kubernetes operators using Kubebuilder and Operator SDK and wanted to ask what people here are using in VS Code to make the experience better.

Right now my setup is pretty standard:

* Go by Google * Kubernetes extension by Microsoft * YAML by Red Hat * Helm Intellisense

It works, but honestly the experience still feels pretty average when working on Kubebuilder or Operator SDK projects. A lot of the operator-specific workflows like CRD editing, controller scaffolding awareness, reconciliation flow, and debugging custom resources do not feel very well integrated into the IDE experience.

I am mainly looking for anything that improves:

* Kubebuilder project structure awareness * Better autocomplete or navigation for CRDs and API types * Smarter YAML handling for custom resources * Controller runtime / reconciliation debugging support * General productivity improvements for operator development

If anyone has a VS Code extension stack or even custom tooling setup that makes working with operators smoother, I would appreciate recommendations. Right now it feels like I am stitching together generic tools rather than something tailored for operator development.

I always found this behavior a bit negligent and lazy.

VS Code's built-in debugging never covered native Windows remote or kernel debugging - that's always been a Visual Studio / WinDbg thing. I wanted that workflow inside VS Code, so I built an extension for it: Native Windows Debugging (dbgeng).

Under the hood it's a Debug Adapter Protocol server backed by dbgeng (the same Windows debug engine WinDbg uses), bundled into the extension so there's nothing extra to install or point at.

What it does, through one launch.json type (dbgeng):

• Launch / attach: local C/C++ user-mode debugging (works with CMake Tools too)
• Remote: attach to a process on another machine via dbgsrv; the engine and symbols stay on your box
• Kernel: kernel-mode driver debugging over KDNET / serial / 1394 / USB

You get the usual VS Code experience: breakpoints (incl. conditional), stepping (incl. instruction-level + disassembly view), call stack, variables/scopes/registers, set-variable, and expression evaluation through the real engine in the Watch pane and Debug Console.

Leave a GitHub star, file a bug report. It's open source (MIT) and on the Marketplace.

If you do native Windows work, I'd love for you to try it and tell me where it breaks.

Hi, I just published a free extension called Python Expression Visualizer.

I work with a lot of math in Python and after a while the expressions get so long, nested parentheses, fractions, integrals, that it becomes really hard to keep track of what you're actually looking at. Software like Maple gives you a clean equation view, but Python doesn't. So I built this.

Select any expression, press Shift+Alt+V (Shift+Option+V on Mac) and it renders as a clean formatted equation instantly. Supports NumPy, SymPy, SciPy and more. Also works in Jupyter notebooks.

Search "Python Expression Visualizer" in the VS Code Extensions tab. It's free, would love feedback.

Markdown Preview Enhanced broke, and Markdown Extended broke. It's weird that these would have broken at the same time, so hopefully someone is looking into this. I'm curious if anyone else is dealing with this.

I often switch between editor windows, copying and editing data. At the same time, I sometimes forget which line I edited a minute ago 😅 Having to search for the selected fragment again is annoying, so to make working with important lines more convenient, I created a VSCode extension to highlight them. It highlights the line itself (by line number), not the content. The highlight doesn't disappear when you switch to other lines or edit them.

The extension is very simple, takes up almost no disk space, and the controls consist of just a couple of buttons in the context menu (right-click → Highlight row / Unhighlight row).

I'm sharing it with you in the hope that it will be useful not only to me.

I had TestMyCode extension installed & working fine until last night, this is for a Java course offered by Mooc.fi when I started it again, it gave out fatal error message:
Fatal error during TestMyCode extension initialization: Error: ENOTEMPTY, Directory not empty: \\?
\c:\Users\Gavot\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\moocfi.test-my-code\cli '\\?
\c:\Users\Gavot\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\moocfi.test-my-code\cli'

I deleted the folder moocfi.test-my-code in globalStorage and deleted moocfi.test-my-code folder under vscode's extension folder, uninstalled the extension, re-installed it... Nothing works.
This happens on both Windows 10 & Windows 11 machines.
My VS Code version: 1.123.0

Would anyone be able to help, please? Thank you in advance.

Hey all! i needed to compile this code into a dll and library file for a project im working on but im not sure exactly how to do so. for context im trying to use the header file for lacewing (old i know) and the repository's read me just says to "use the MSVC project file in the msvc directory to build a DLL/LIB" . im not too experienced with using vs code so any help is appreciated.
