VS Code

If I open a text file that needs root privileges to modify, I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Insufficient permissions. Select 'Retry as Sudo' to retry as superuser.

That's fine, that's expected.

But when I click on "Retry as Sudo", I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo.

This happens though pkexec is installed on my machine, at /usr/bin/pkexec; and I granted VSCodium access to it through Flatseal. How do I fix this?

I made this because I started using Codium but wanted to use an extension that didn't have an OpenVSX equivalent and found out MS removed the VSIX download buttons on the marketplace site.

This should also work for Code-OSS and the MS VS Code. You can also just use it to only download the VSIX files so you can keep them locally for future use or take them to another computer that does not have internet connection for whatever reason to install there.

It will also check for dependencies and download them if you don't already have them installed.

At the moment it only downloads the latest versions of an extension.

Sharing because I imagine I'm not the only one with this issue.

If this issue gets 20 upvotes, the bot says it'll get added to the backlog to get fixed. Just posting it here to help it get some traction. We have ~40 days before it's simply closed.

Last month I posted this issue to the VSCode github about a bug where new instances of VSCode launched from a windows terminal fail to inherit the environment if VSCode is already running. I have to use Windows where I work and I often need different environments when working on different projects so I'd really like this issue to get fixed.

Do you know the .vscode/tasks.json file? You can add it to your project, and @vscode will run your configured commands automatically when you open the project ✨

I use this for the Inertia Table so it starts the web server and Vite without me having to open terminals for them 👌

Here is how you can add a simple action to open a folder in VSCodium within Nemo file manager.

1. Create a new file in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/ and name the file vscodium.nemo_action
2. Open the file in a text editor
3. Copy the code below into the file

[Nemo Action]
Name=Open in VSCodium
Comment=Open VSCodium in the selected folder
Exec=codium %F
Icon-Name=vscodium
Selection=Any
Extensions=dir;

4. Save the changes made to the file
5. Now when you right click inside a folder in Nemo, it will show an option "Open in VSCodium" and when you click this option, it will launch VSCodium using the currently directory as the workspace.

This can be modified to work with Visual Studio Code (Which is closed source unlike VSCodium) by editing codium %F to code %F

Time complexity isn't even associated to the size of the list. Amazing!

I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.

Is there an extension that allows for automatic stashing on branch switch like GitHub desktop does?

There was an a proposal about it, but it got declined: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/86668

I am an intermediate VSC user, and have a problem with commands that are too close to each other in the right-click context menu for the SFTP. I constantly click something other than the top one marked here. It causes a mess that's easy enough to clean up but it's annoying. Any suggestions here?
