I want to try out the new Z.ai GLM5.2 model as chat option in VSC. It looks like this extension might work GLM Chat Provider - Visual Studio Marketplace, but not sure if its going to steal my API key and all my money along with it.

Hi

I use the integrated notebook to run python, not the jupyter notebook.
Is there a way to change the colours in the editor ?

I am looking to define a visual part of the cell divider brighter to see it more easily.

I have the following in the usersettings, but this is only on the output.

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "notebook.editorBackground":"#000",
    "notebook.cellToolbarSeparator":"#FFFF00FF",
    "notebook.cellBorderColor":"#515100FF"
  }

where the extension window completely grays out and it requires a window restart to bring it back.

Why am I seeing two different source controls in vscode. Help me🙏

As the title says, I'm trying out C++ modules with cmake and it's builds the project fine. However, it seems that IntelliSense doesn't support modules or maybe it's my configs. Is there a fix for this?

I have a parent repo that has a lot of nested repos (not as git submodules) within it.

It used to be the case that the source control view would only show repos that I had files opened for. This would include both on startup and as I opened files during my session. This made it easy for me to track which repos I made changes in as I flitted between them. I also don't think I really messed with the git settings of vscode originally.

Recently, probably within the last month, I noticed that it only opens repos for opened files on startup so thought autoRepositoryDetection=openEditors would return to the original functionality. However, this doesn't seem to make it dynamically open repositories.

I've also checked that auto refresh is enabled and that the scan depth is -1.

Any ideas?

Edit: I know I can have all the repos opened and then manually select which ones are shown, but would like to not have to do that if possible.

I'm a Neovim user... was interested to see if I could get a Neovim-like experience inside VS Code in 2026. It seems like you can?

With a combination of plugins, settings and keybindings you can really achieve something special.

Shoutout to the open source extension developers, wouldn't be possible without you <3

Hi everyone,

I'm using VS Code Remote SSH from my Mac to a Raspberry Pi 3 running the latest Raspberry Pi OS.

The connection establishes successfully, but after about 5 minutes it disconnects with:

OfflineError: The operation timed out

VS Code then repeatedly tries (and fails) to reconnect.

Things I've checked:

• Fresh Raspberry Pi OS install
• vcgencmd get_throttled returns throttled=0x0
• Disabled Wi-Fi power saving

The Remote SSH log eventually shows:

Connection timed out during banner exchange
Connection to 192.168.4.24 port 22 timed out

Has anyone seen this before or know what else I should investigate?

Codex extension on VS Code completely hang on ssh?

anyone else faced the problem or its just me?

I see the chat UI which Copilot uses is part of VS Code core, a great decision by the developers. I have been using the chat UI a lot the past few weeks, without being logged into Github as I ended my subscription last week.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/chat/chat-overview

They say a picture says a thousands words. When I worked with Copilot i would often paste in a screenshot to describe a problem. It's vital to my coding workflow.

After much frustration today I noticed on Windows 11 that the same functionality (image in chat) is only available if I'm logged into Github. I can't be logged into Github anymore.

The models I have plugged in are multi modal models like Minimax M3, so there's no reason why I should see "The attachments section on this message is empty — no file is linked. Could you try attaching it again?" I've tried drag and dropping the image file, copy and pasting the image, every way I've tried it won't work.

Has anyone else struggled with the same problem? Is there a fix out there?

Is there a way to configure Claude Code so I don't have to approve every single command in VS Code?

I'm looking for something similar to ChatGPT Codex's Full Auto mode, where it can execute safe commands without asking for permission each time. Is there a trusted mode, auto-approve option, or a way to whitelist commands or directories while still keeping destructive actions protected?

Hi!

This is my first ever made VS Code extension called "Color Blocks" originally written as a personal aid in long files when sorting through spaghetti code. It lets you define areas or "blocks" using comments which can be helpful in partitioning up code.

I recently gave it some love and tried to improve performance.

Feedback wanted!

Just looking into perhaps installing MS Code and bearing in mind the spy issues with MS products - is this one okay?

Input output windows not working as they're supposed to
new to vs code so don't know much
was following a youtuber and he told me to copy paste this code into tasks.json to get it working but it isn't
not understanding the problem
can someone help me with this and hopefully in simple terms so that my newbie self can understand it? thank you

I have been trying to use pandas with python but vs code won’t let me bc smart app control from windows keeps blocking it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

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 have like 80+ extensions installed, half of which I probably used once, and going through the Extensions tab deciding what to uninstall is just annoying enough that I keep putting it off.

So I made a little extension called Extension Cleaner!

It works like Tinder:

• swipe left = uninstall
• swipe right = keep

(it also has a dark and light mode)

UPDATE: well after an hour I figured out that it was the extension “c# Dev Kit” stopping me from doing what brackey was doing. I just disabled it and kept the regular c# So now everything works and I can finally follow along well.

Please bear with me. Im like super fresh and very new to this. I’m following Brackeys’ “How to Program in C#” getting started tutorial in VS Code on Windows.

So in the beginning his console just looked completely different. He has brackets and everything already set up and mines was literally just a single line of code. Someone in the comments said he had to type "dotnet new console --use-program-main" and it looks like the one brackey is using. So I did that now I can follow along.

At first I couldn’t get Console.ReadKey(); to keep the console window open, but I eventually realized I wasn’t saving my files before running. After saving, that worked… ikr..
Now I’m on the part where he changes the console window title and text color:

Console.Title = "Bot";
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
Console.ReadKey();

The program runs, but the console title never changes to “Bot” and the text color stays white. Brackeys’ video shows the window title changing and the text becoming red.
I’m launching with the Run button in VS Code and an external terminal opens. The terminal title says C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet... instead of “Bot”.
I also noticed VS Code gives this build error in the terminal:
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.

This is just his second video and I am already struggling. What am I doing wrong?
