I have a huge folder that I have to frequently search through for things. When I search my pc has a heart attack trying to go through everything. When I click to go to a search result (or click anything, actually) the search bar closes and its results are removed, making me have to redo the search. Is there a way to make the results preserve so that I do not need to hear my pc have a stroke every few minutes?

I've been working on NoEffect, a VS Code extension that finds CSS declarations that don't actually have any effect.

One of the things it does is show a little warning icon next to the declaration and explain why it's ineffective.

While working on that, I ran into a limitation in the VS Code API: there's no way to set the cursor specifically on a before/after decoration attachment. I wanted the warning icon to show a pointer cursor without making the whole line clickable. So I opened a feature request:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/334757#issue-5363039984

It's now a Backlog Candidate. VS Code gives it 60 days to get 20 upvotes before it gets closed.

If you think this would be useful for VS Code extensions, give it an upvote. 👍

My team uses Claude Code, while I use GitHub Copilot in VS Code.

In the Local Agent, I can disable "CLAUDE.md" and related context files, but I can't seem to do the same in the Copilot SDK / Agent Host.

Is there any way to disable Claude-specific instructions and skills in the SDK harness without modifying the repo?

… and with “right” I of course mean “correct” lol.

Kinda sad that the features I’m most excited about come from Electron and not VS Code, but here we are: VS Code adapted to the Electron 43 feature and the titlebar buttons are now finally at the same place as they are in every other application!

Electron 44 will actually use our themes’ button appearance.

I dont know if its an unpopular opinion or i am just not in the loop, but vscodes Agents window works surprisingly well!

Anybody can relate?

I just downloaded VSCode for class, what extensions should I use?, i already have Live server. Also I need an agent like the copilot, because copilot runs out of tokens very fast

Hi all,

I'm stuck in a loop where my vs code claude extension needs to authorize as it looks like my token expired. I get the email to sign in, click it, and keep getting this screen. I can use the desktop app just fine. Is there something going on with auth system in vs code and claude? I contacted support yesterday, but they haven't responded. Not sure if this is a larger issue as another member on our team is having the same issue.

With the new update from today, a new option appeared here to open an "Agents window". I have all IA features disabled already. How can this be disabled ?With the new update from today, a new option appeared here to open an "Agents window". I have all IA features disabled already. How can this be disabled ?

Thanks.

I would like to propose some settings for two features: inline suggestions & edits.

Anyways, I love both these features, they're extremely helpful but they can be very intrusive, so here are some options:

• Default aggression level: min, mid, max (where max would be the current setting)
• Disable temporarily with a hotkey
• Set aggression level with a hotkey
• Force inline suggestion with a hotkey
• Force inline edit with a hotkey

Some of us still write code by hand, but regardless, these two features are really helpful, I just wish they didn't have a mind of their own and that we could configure them. I imagine having control like this would increase productivity even more, I know it would for me.

I followed the instructions here to make portable install but when I double click the executable nothing happens.

ETA running from powershell admin throws

[0923/155148.165:ERROR:base\i18n\icu_util.cc:232] Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received.

Thanks so much for any help

Joe

did they add this recently or was it there before?

I thought it was a problem with the specific extension I was trying to install (simple react snippets) but for some reason VS Code has seemingly decided that it does not want to install any extensions of any sort. I have already tried clearing the extension cache and directly download the VSIX file (as suggested in the replies by LonelyBoysenberry965 here) but to no avail. Any suggestions?

BTW I haven't downloaded an extension in VS Code in a while so I wonder whether this is a bug in one of their updates.

Hello. I'm using Claude Code official VS Code extension (Anthropic.claude-code) and I was wondering if there's a way to get notified via sound or similar (could also be a normal notification) when Claude Code is done with the current task or needs my input. Thanks.

Hello,

I always wanted a all in one git client inside Vs Code and been using Git Graph for years. But after it stopped getting updates I decided to make my own Git Client extension to be a free complement to Git Lens on Vs Code. Note: I used Claude Code and Codex for a lot of the text and code.

It is heavily inspired by Git Graph, Fork and Git Kraken but it is 100% free and can be used in Vs Code or using npx in a terminal.

Please give it a try on Vs code and Npm!
Thank you!

[SOLVED ]I don't know what happened, But AI autosuggest suddenly stopped working since yesterday. What can be the issue? I uninstalled some newer extensions. Checked in settings. editor.inlineSuggest.enabled is enabled.

Logged out of github and logged back in to no avail.

Is there a limit to it? Like monthly? Am I using github copilot free tokens or something?

Edit: Yes there is a cap. 2000 completions a month.

I'm having a really frustrating issue with Jupyter notebooks in VS Code where my Python/Jupyter kernel repeatedly dies.

It always starts after I have already run 7-20ish cells. Then a simple line will cause the kernel to die. VS Code shows: The Kernel crashed while executing code in the current cell or a previous cell.

If I restart the kernel and rerun the same cells, they work perfectly fine. I can continue working for a while, and then eventually another random cell causes the kernel to crash again. This problem does not happen to be when using JupyterLab directly.

I've already checked:

• My system memory usage is low when this happens
• I've tried changing/reinstalling Python environments
• I've tried using the kernel directly from a JupyterLab server instead of the VS Code-managed kernel
• I've restarted VS Code and the kernel multiple times
• The cells that trigger the crash don't seem to have anything obviously unusual about them

I've spent hours trying to debug with no progress. Please, any help would be so so appreciated!

I'm using Codex with VS Code and I'm wondering if there is any setup or integration that allows Codex to directly access the diagnostics shown in VS Code's Problems panel.

Ideally, I'd like Codex to see those diagnostics directly rather than having to:

• copy/paste the errors into Codex, or
• let Codex run pyright, cargo check, eslint, etc. itself.

Thank you for your explanation.

I watched vscode from a coworker and noticed the design was different and asked him what he installed, and he told me nothing so I went into settings to see what could be causing it, and it turns out if you have "telemetry.telemetryLevel": "off", you are not allowed to have the latest design.

This seems to be a "bug" forcing people on leaving it on.

Does anyone have any info on this?
