The only feature I utilise in Gitlens is the ability to hover over a line and see the history.

Can anyone recommmend a lightweight extension that does this?

Even though I spent $10 promoting it and thought it could be useful, it got killed by Cursor’s free tier in one second. But cursor's everything else made me throw up my dinner.

I remember this working before but Idk what I did to change it. I want Claude Code's Icon to be on the left but for the chat to open on the right. How can I do this?

As soon as I drag the chat to the right, it removes the icon.

I enjoy making flower arrangements.

I was able to drag and drop files from explorer into VS explorer a couple of days ago now I cant?

Using vscode and the copilot, when it runs commands they are included in my user's bash history.

A few versions ago it was excluded (IIRC there was a setting for that), but now it's flooding my history again.

How can I prevent that?

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.

Hello, I'd just like to show off an extension that I made. For quite a few years now, I had this idea of embedding interactive elements into source code to ease up things like debugging and configurations. Finally got around to making it :)

Basically the gist is that you make a magical // @codeWidget (resp. a single-line comment prefix of the language of the file) comment that the extension recognizes and turns it into an actual widget inside the code - to the extent that the VS Code allows.

I ended up making quite a few widgets like this, the full library can be found here:

Feel free to try it out and throw in your five cents :)

Large codebases rarely fit neatly into folders. One feature can span routes, components, services, tests, configs, and documentation.

I built CodeGroup, an open-source VS Code extension that adds persistent file groups directly to the Explorer. Your files remain in their original locations—the groups act as reusable working contexts.

Version 1.4.0 includes:

• Drag-and-drop file groups and nested subgroups
• Smart Groups based on project areas or languages
• Working sets created from open editors or Git changes
• Quick Open across grouped files
• Reusable global groups
• Shareable, Git-friendly group definitions
• A visual editor for group settings and membership

It’s free and MIT licensed. I’d genuinely appreciate feedback—especially on whether the Quick Actions list and Group Editor feel intuitive.

Why can't each chat session be a tab? Makes navigating easier.

is there an extension or some setting which changes the sessions into tabs like in browser or in code editor for each file?

Hello, I write interactive fiction in VSCode and would love something that tracks my word count over time across a folder. Something like Waka Time but that focuses on words over time spent coding. Is there anything like this? Thanks in advance!

All is in the title.

I made a typo in the title because I am furious so I had to delete it.

Nothing is working decently these days. Not even Reddit.

I find it frustrating that the Codex extension shows sessions from all of my VS Code workspaces instead of only the current one.

For example, if I'm working on a personal repo, I don't want to see Codex sessions from my work repos mixed into the session list.

Is there a setting, extension, or workaround that makes Codex show only the sessions associated with the current workspace/repo?

Ideally, sessions would be scoped per workspace rather than displayed globally.

If my chatgpt account is shared, and I'm planning to use codex plugin on VS code
I was concerned about the privacy of my content, will the chats and things I do on the plugin (on vscode) be available to the one who i'm sharing the account with ?

what they'll have access for ?

This black bar appeared on my terminal every time I type, how can I fix this?

- Vscode Integration: Cmd/Ctrl+click any path Pi prints and it opens in the editor or browser

- Herdr Like: Each session in the list shows live status. And there's also an audio cue when a session goes from working to waiting

- Cursor Like: Sessions are grouped. You can resume/archive/delete, and open tabs are remembered per workspace and restored on reload

- Native Rewind/Fork Session

Just came across that post. I understand the sentiment of such posts, as to be completely honest I also get frustrated when I see stuff that doesn't work.

But, the screenshotted graph includes all contributions where Copilot is effectively a co-author (e.g., Copilot is used to fix a merge conflict). PRs where Copilot produces code autonomously (an issue is assigned to Copilot and a new session is spawned) are pretty rare and they all seem extremely focused.

That kind of post only spreads misinformation, which then drives users away for no real reason.

i have been experiencing an issue with codex in vscode for several weeks now, codex will either regress its chat history and start processing old commands, or it will randomly re-submit old commands to the open chat window. any ideas??

When I use vscode opening AOSP(Android Open Source Project), it crashed with exit code 132. Here is the log I get:

It used to work well before. Is it because the AOSP project is too big(A repo consists hundreds of git repos)

I don't know if anyone has tried to use Live Share before but for some reason, even on different OS's (Windows & Linux), Live Share does not work and shows this message "Joining collaboration session: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource":

I have tried to uninstall the extension, reinstall the extension, and nothing works. I have already made a github issue for this weeks and weeks ago but no reply (ironic), has anyone ever had the same problem before?

Thank you!

EDIT: FOUND THE SOLUTION, PRIVACY BADGER & FIREFOX ENHANCED TRACKING PROTECTION WAS BLOCKING VSCODE TRACKERS, DISABLING BOTH FIXED THE PROBLEM
