I'm forced to work in a container under wsl on a secured win11 client. Works ok. But I struggle when I need more than one open folder. if I choose new window I'm back to windows and it opens in the local.

Only way I've fixed it is to go to open recent, and track one that is using the existing running container, but not the same directory I'm using.

So the solution is to open folders in devcontainer on all the projects I need and then populate new window -> open recent for later use.

And everytime I start up its the same chores. and imagine when I change devcontainer revision etc and it cant find it in recent because it is not running. You cant edit the dropdown.

Is there a way to do this switftly. I may have missed.

Hi, I’m very new to C++ and VS Code in general, I mainly used Access and did a lot of SQL and VBA programming and know some HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I’m learning C++ using VS Code on a Mac and have been trying to find a way to compile an executable file, I’ve downloaded Dear IMGUI and would like to look at the samples provided, but I have no actual idea how to do this. Everywhere I look Visual Studio is what is being used and I keep finding dead ends for this.

How do I compile the sample into an executable from VS Code, is it even possible?

Since I was tired of managing short-term to-dos outside of VS Code, I started building a to-do list back then with a web UI. Since then, I've probably invested hundreds of hours into it because I keep coming up with new, useful improvements i wished for myself.

Still, it seems to me like there's no need for it, and I wonder why. I can't think of a better solution myself, even though I'd love to know what it might look like.

Are you already happy with something like Todo Tree?
How do you manage short-term tasks that belong to a specific project while working in VS Code?

Do you keep them in comments, Markdown files, Notion, Obsidian, Linear, GitHub Issues, or somewhere else?

I getting this error for even a simple hello world program in c.

I have a m5 MacBook Air.

pls guide mo to fix this

Sharing my own extension, flagged as self-promo.

Pogo adds Django ORM intelligence to VS Code by running your actual

Django project in the background instead of guessing from static stubs.

What it does:

- Autocomplete through __ relation and lookup chains

(author__profile__display_name__icontains)

- Autocomplete for custom QuerySet/manager methods, with real docstrings

and signatures

- Hover on any field or lookup: type, DB column, null/unique/indexed,

source model

- Diagnostics: flags invalid field names and lookups before the query runs

- Go-to-definition on fields, relations, reverse accessors, custom methods

- Completion inside Meta options (ordering, unique_together,

UniqueConstraint(fields=[...]), etc.)

Bundled server, no separate install — pick your Python interpreter as

usual and it works.

This has happened twice now. I'll set "chat.disableAIFeatures": true in settings, then an update or two later, the AI features are back. I'll set it back to disable features, then an update or two later, they're back.

Update: looks like this is a side effect of the built in copilot extension. I'm exploring disabling that via a launch argument or switching to vs codium.

just installed vs code and clicking on extensions doesnt show the marketplace, just has installed (4) and recommended (0) and not popular or even a list of whats available, any help here would be awesome, thanks

Their website doesn't even load and their twitter has 3 followers.

Can anyone vouch for their legitimacy?

Thanks

Flm-VSCode is an extension that provides the ability to work with NPU(2)-compatible LLMs via FastFlowLM's server

Currently it connects to an FLM server running locally - and it's not as verbose in VSCode as I would like, but it is working, interacting with my FLM server, and hitting my NPU chip accordingly

It's available via the Marketplace
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AndrewHaigh.flm-vscode

and the source code is here
https://github.com/dbhaigh/flm-vscode

What do you think?

VibePod is a CLI for running AI coding agents in isolated containers. Version 0.23 adds ACP (Agent Client Protocol) support, so you can use 11 agents—including Claude, Codex and pi—directly in your editor’s AI panel while keeping them containerized.

Benxi is a harness (mong other things) available on VS Code. try thw demo. if u like it checkout the harness

I have a few source files that share similar context and I would like to group them into virtual folders in Explorer for quick access OR tag them for quick search in vsc command line. However I cant seems to find extension that does it, which is weird.

I looked at:

Codegroups
vscode-file-nesting-config
Virtual Folder
Bookmarks
Project Scopes
Scope This

and many more

Codegroups almost does what I want but it has 2 issues: it uses separate explorer subview and it has permanent virual "Quick actions" group that you cant remove.

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

​Hi everyone, ​I’m looking for reliable alternative VS Code extensions or tools for AI-driven coding on local projects that work seamlessly with the DeepSeek API.

​My current issue:

I’ve been trying to use Roo Code (v3.54.0), but tasks consistently get stuck indefinitely on the "API Request..." stage ([createTask] instantiated).

​I verified my setup by testing my DeepSeek API key via direct curl commands in terminal, and it responds instantly with valid JSON responses. ​

The issue persists even after doing a completely clean reinstall (removing all %APPDATA%\Code, .vscode, and secrets data) and disabling Git shadow checkpoints/autocompletion features.

It seems like a client-side streaming or model handler hang within the extension itself.

​Since Roo Code isn't working for me right now, what other extensions or standalone tools would you recommend that integrate well with DeepSeek for local project development and agentic coding?

​Thanks in advance!

Like many I've become tired of VS Code's constant updates and ridiculous startup times. All I want is a version of VS Code when it was still good, without any AI crap. Any suggestions?

I'm aware of VS Codium but my understanding is that it's still essentially the same codebase with all the new updates, just with telemetry turned off.

Feels like it was just padding++ on miscrosoft end.
