Accessibility
This milestone we received great feedback from our community, which helped us identify and tackle many accessibility issues.
- We introduced Focus Next Part (F6) and Focus Previous Part (⇧F6 (Windows, Linux Shift+F6)) commands to make it easy to navigate across the workbench.
- The status bar is now accessible and when focused, screen readers can read its content.
- Introduced appropriate ARIA labels across every list and tree widget in the workbench, such as Open Editors, Breadcrumbs, Problems view, and more.
One of our team's top priorities is making Visual Studio Code a more accessible product and improving experiences for every user and so we have created a new Gitter channel for VS Code accessibility. We encourage users to join and give feedback, bring up problems, and share accessibility practices.
Workbench
Switch tabs using mouse wheel
When you use the mouse wheel to scroll over editor tabs, you currently cannot switch tabs, only reveal tabs that are out of view. Now with a new setting workbench.editor.scrollToSwitchTabs
, you can change the behavior to switch the active editor tab.
Below when the cursor focus in the editor tab region, if the user scrolls their mouse wheel, the active editor changes.
Note: You can also press and hold the Shift
key while scrolling to get the opposite behavior (for example, you can switch editor tabs even when the scrollToSwitchTabs
setting is off).
Custom window title separator
A new setting window.titleSeparator
lets you change the separator character that is used in the window title. By default, a dash '-'
is used.
Updated Side Bar section headers for default themes
We've updated the styling of the Side Bar section headers for our default Dark and Light themes. We now use a transparent background and show a border for each header.
Below the OPEN EDITORS section header does not have a background color and the VSCODE and OUTLINE headers have an upper border.
Editor
Faster syntax highlighting
Syntax Highlighting in VS Code runs by interpreting Text Mate Grammars. These grammars are authored with regular expressions and can be evaluated using the oniguruma regular expression library. Up until now, we have been using two distinct libraries for evaluating such regular expressions, one for VS Code desktop (a native node module), and another one for VS Code in the browser (a Web Assembly binary).
We have now written a dedicated Web Assembly binding that is optimized for usage by our TextMate interpreter. By avoiding memory allocations in inner loops and adopting new APIs added just a few months ago to oniguruma, we have been able to create a variant that is faster than both of the previous approaches and delivers up to 3 times faster performance for highlighting regular programming files. You can review pull request #95958 more details and measurements.
Semantic token styling
You can now customize semantic theming rules in your user settings. Semantic coloring is available for TypeScript and JavaScript, with support for Java and C++ under development. It is enabled by default for built-in themes and is being adopted by theme extensions.
The editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations
setting allows users to override the default theme rules and to customize the theming.
The setting above changes the Default Dark+ theme. It gives a new style to parameters (italic and a new color) and underlines all symbols from a default library (for example, Promise
, Map
, and their properties).
The example below adds semantic styling to all themes:
"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
"enabled": true, // enable semantic highlighting for all themes
"rules": {
// different color for all constants
"property.readonly": "#35166d",
// make all symbol declarations bold
"*.declaration": { "bold": true }
}
}
Theming for semantic tokens is explained in more details in the Semantic Highlighting Guide.
New color for constants in the Default Dark+ theme
The Default Dark+ and the Default Light+ themes now color constants in a different shade than writable variables.
Below notice that the htmlMode
and range
constants are a different color than the result
variable.
Default Dark+ theme:
Default Light+ theme:
Disable persistent Undo
Last milestone, changed the Undo/Redo stack to be persisted when you close a file and reopen it. Not everyone wanted this new feature, so there is now a setting, files.restoreUndoStack
, to disable persistent Undo.
Integrated Terminal
Removal of several prompt-related commands
The following commands have been removed:
workbench.action.terminal.deleteWordLeft
workbench.action.terminal.deleteWordRight
workbench.action.terminal.deleteToLineStart
workbench.action.terminal.moveToLineStart
workbench.action.terminal.moveToLineEnd
These commands worked by sending a particular character sequence to the terminal, which was a best effort guess based on what command keybindings terminals use. The problem with these commands was that they were a closed box, you needed to literally search through the vscode codebase to figure out how they worked. They have been replaced with custom keybindings for the workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence
command, which does the same thing in a generic way.
These are advanced keyboard shortcuts and cannot be viewed in their entirety via the Keyboard Shortcuts UI as they contain arguments but you can view their JSON definitions by running the Preferences: Open Default Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) command:
Support for pasting of multi-line text in PowerShell
Multi-line pasting never worked in PowerShell as VS Code always sent over the text in exactly the same way as typing it out. As explained above, several keybindings have been swapped to use the workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence
command and you might have noticed a new keybinding was added for Windows only:
{ "key": "ctrl+v", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"when": "terminalFocus && !accessibilityModeEnabled && terminalShellType == 'pwsh'",
"args": {"text":"\u0016"} },
This new keybinding will send the text representing Ctrl+V
directly to PowerShell, which gets picked up by PSReadLine and handled properly.

Theme: Sapphire (Dim)
Control double-click word selection
The new terminal.integrated.wordSeparators
setting lets you customize the separator characters used to delimit a word when you double-click in the terminal.
The default separators are:
"terminal.integrated.wordSeparators": " ()[]{}',\"`─"
Debugging
Automatic debug configurations
Setting up debugging in VS Code can be a daunting task because a user has to create a new debug configuration (or at least modify a template to their needs). In our continuing effort to simplify the debugging experience, we have added a new feature that gives debug extension authors a means to analyze the current project and offer quality debug configurations automatically that do not require additional user configuration.
In a similar way to how build tasks are provided, the automatic debug configurations are grouped under the appropriate debugger (folder icon) in the Debug view's configuration dropdown and the Select and Start Debugging Quick Pick. Once the debugger is chosen, VS Code presents all the automatic configurations available. Selecting a configuration will start a new debugging session.
The following screen cast shows the feature for the new JavaScript debugger (in preview) and our educational Mock Debug:
The debug Quick Pick can be opened by typing 'debug ' (with a space) in Quick open (⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+P)) or by triggering the Debug: Select and Start Debugging command.
In the next milestone, we'll add UI so that an automatic debug configuration can be easily added to the launch.json
for further configuration.
Tasks
Disable faster Quick Pick
With version 1.44, we improved the task picker that shows when you run the Tasks: Run Task command by changing the layout and making it faster. However, the faster Quick Pick does make the task picker two levels deep depending on which task you want to run. If you want the previous UI, you can now disable the faster picker with the task.quickOpen.showAll
setting.
Save on run
Previously, all dirty editors were always saved when a task is run. If you don't want to have your editors saved when you run a task, you can now configure that behavior with task.saveBeforeRun
.
Languages
TypeScript status bar entry enhancements
When you are focused on a TypeScript file, VS Code shows the current TypeScript version in the status bar:
Clicking on the version now brings up commands appropriate for the current TypeScript project:
Prompt users to switch to the workspace version of TypeScript
The new typescript.enablePromptUseWorkspaceTsdk
setting brings up a prompt asking users if they want to switch to the workspace version of TypeScript:
To enable the prompt, include "typescript.enablePromptUseWorkspaceTsdk": true
and typescript.tsdk
as workspace settings for your project.
Markdown link to folders
Editor links in Markdown files and links in the Markdown preview can now point to folders. Clicking on one of these links will reveal the target folder in VS Code's File Explorer.
Source Control
GitHub authentication for GitHub repositories
VS Code now has automatic GitHub authentication against GitHub repositories. You can now clone, pull, push to and from public and private repositories without configuring any credential manager in your system. Even Git commands invoked in the Integrated Terminal, for example git push
, are now automatically authenticated against your GitHub account.
You can disable GitHub authentication with the git.githubAuthentication
setting. You can also disable the terminal authentication integration with the git.terminalAuthentication
setting.
Hide Git commit input box
A new setting git.showCommitInput
allows you to hide the commit input box for Git repositories.
Inline diff is now editable
You can now edit inside the quick diff editor, when previewing changes in a file.
Preview features
Preview features are not ready for release but are functional enough to use. We welcome your early feedback while they are under development.
Settings Sync
We have been working the last couple of months to support synchronizing VS Code preferences across machines and this feature is available for preview on the Insiders release.
You can now sign in with your GitHub account to synchronize your VS Code preferences.
Theme: GitHub Sharp with Customizations
There is also now support for synchronizing global snippets.
New JavaScript debugger
This month we continued making progress on our new JavaScript debugger. It's installed by default on Insiders, and can be installed from the Marketplace in VS Code stable. You can start using it with your existing launch configurations by enabling the debug.javascript.usePreview
setting.
Here are some new features added this month:
Profiling Support
You can capture CPU profiles from your Node.js or browser applications by clicking the new Profile button in the Call Stack view, or using the Debug: Take Performance Profile command. Once you do, you can choose how long the profile will run: until you stop it, for a length of time, or until you hit another breakpoint.
After the profile ends, it's saved in your workspace folder and opened in VS Code. If you're running our stable build, you'll want to install our visualizer extension to view it. On Insiders, the extension is already built-in. When you open the profile, CodeLens are added to your files that contain performance information at the function level and for certain 'hot' lines. Unlike profiles captured in many other tools, the recorded profile is sourcemap-aware.
Theme: Earthsong, Font: Fira Code
Auto Attach integration
When debug.javascript.usePreview
is turned on, VS Code's Auto Attach will use a new method provided by js-debug
that allows all terminals to work similarly to the Debug Terminal.
Improvements to Auto Attach over the existing debugger:
- The debugger is attached immediately allowing you to hit breakpoints early on in the program.
- Child processes are debugged automatically.
- There's no process-polling overhead during Auto Attach.
Copy Complex Values from Variables View
Previously, trying to copy complex values, like objects, from the VS Code Variables view would often result in truncated or incomplete data. Changes in VS Code and js-debug allow us to copy the complete value.
Product icon themes
Visual Studio Code contains a set of built-in icons that are used in views and the editor, but can also be used in hovers, the status bar, and by extensions. These icons are product icons as opposed to file icons, which are displayed next to file names throughout the UI.
The product icons that ship with VS Code are contained in the Codicon icon font and are used for the default product icon theme. Extensions can now provide new product icon themes to redefine these icons and give VS Code a new appearance.
The Product Icon Themes documentation has more details and there is a Product Icon Theme Sample.
TypeScript/JavaScript symbol search across all open projects
When using TypeScript 3.9+, VS Code's workspace symbol search now includes results from all opened JavaScript and TypeScript projects by default. We previously only searched the project of the currently active file.
This is controlled by the new "typescript.workspaceSymbols.scope"
setting. To revert to the old behavior, set: "typescript.workspaceSymbols.scope": "currentProject"
.
Improved links in the terminal
Links in the terminal have undergone an overhaul, changing out the backing system for a much more robust implementation that enables:
- The use of the editor's link detection for better web and
file://
link detection. - Folder link support, either opening the folder in the Explorer or opening a new VS Code window.
- Different link actions for different link types, falling back to "word" links that search the workspace (based on the
terminal.integrated.wordSeparators
setting). - Similar link highlighting and hover experience to the editor.
Theme: Topaz (Dim)
A list of known issues is available in this query.
Dynamic view icons and titles
This milestone, we continued on the work to make the layout more flexible. Moving views around the workbench allows you to create new icons in the Activity Bar or new tabs in the Panel. To make it easier to understand what is held in one of these newly created view containers, we have updated the logic to be easier to understand.
Now, when you have a custom container, we will inherit the title and icon from the first visible view. This will allow you to change it by rearranging the views. For containers that are built-in or from extensions, we will try to preserve this icon as long as possible. Below when a new view is placed at the top of the view container, its icon and title are updated.
Lastly, you can now move your custom containers around with all of the containing views in one movement. The short video below shows dragging a Terminal and Output view combination into the Activity Bar.
Contributions to extensions
Remote Development
Work continues on the Remote Development extensions, which allow you to use a container, remote machine, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a full-featured development environment.
Feature highlights in 1.45 include:
- Dev Containers: Provide container configuration recommendations.
- Dev Containers: WSL 2 Docker and Podman engines support.
- Dev Containers: New
devcontainer.json
variables for local and container folders.
You can learn about new extension features and bug fixes in the Remote Development release notes.
GitHub Pull Requests and Issues
Formerly named "GitHub Pull Requests", the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension has been letting you manage and review pull requests from within VS Code for over a year now. Now, the extension as been expanded to include support for GitHub Issues.
Issue support includes:
- Hovers for #-referenced issues and @-mentioned users.
- Inline completion suggestions for issues and users.
- An Issues view where you can use custom queries.
- An action to start working on an issue, which creates a branch and populates the commit message.
There is also new repository support:
- Clone a repository using a remote source provider.
- Publish a repository to GitHub.
The short video below illustrates publishing to a new private repository on GitHub, with an option to browse the repo on GitHub once the files have been successfully uploaded.
For more information, you can read the recent GitHub Issues Integration blog post and Working with GitHub documentation.
GitHub Issue Notebook
The VS Code team is working on native support for Notebooks. The most popular Notebooks in use these days are Jupyter Notebooks and while investigating them, we began looking at ways to build a Notebook solution that is unbiased and supports different styles of Notebooks.
One of those Notebooks is the GitHub Issue Notebooks extension, which lets you manage issue and pull request searches and render results inline:
This extension is still under development and only works with VS Code Insiders but with it you can experience Notebooks first hand and you can provide us with feedback.
Extension authoring
New theme colors for editor tabs
New colors were added to further theme the workbench editor tabs:
tab.unfocusedInactiveBackground
: Inactive tab background color in an unfocused grouptab.hoverForeground
: Tab foreground color when hoveringtab.unfocusedHoverForeground
: Tab foreground color in an unfocused group when hovering
New theme color for editor title border
The existing color editorGroupHeader.tabsBorder
was changed to render a border below editor tabs but above breadcrumbs. A new color editorGroupHeader.border
lets you render a border below the editor group header (for example, below breadcrumbs if enabled) to restore the previous behavior of editorGroupHeader.tabsBorder
.
Deprecating and archiving of the vscode NPM module
In June 2019, we split the vscode module into @types/vscode
and vscode-test
in light of the event-stream
incident. Today, a security alert for minimist has caused security alerts for extensions that still depend on vscode
, which depends on mocha@5.2.0
and therefore minimist@0.0.8
. Unfortunately, mocha@5.2.0
no longer receive updates and upgrading to a new mocha
version would break existing functionalities.
We published a new version of vscode
that removes some unnecessary dependencies. We also archived the repository and deprecated the vscode module on NPM. Please migrate to @types/vscode
and vscode-test
.
New Completion Item Kinds
There are two new entries to vscode.CompletionItemKind
that represent issues and users. These can be used for instance to suggest usernames when adding TODO tags.
Working with URIs
We have added a vscode.Uri.joinPath
utility. It is a factory function that creates new URIs by joining path segments with an existing URI. Think of this as Node.js' path.join
utility but for URIs.
For extensions, VS Code exposes the URI where extensions are installed via Extension.extensionUri
and via ExtensionContext.extensionUri
. With the join utility, you can now create URIs for resources of your extension.
For example:
const fileUri = vscode.Uri.joinPath(context.extensionUri, './file.png');
const bytes = await vscode.workspace.fs.readFile(fileUri);
debug/callstack/context menu inline group
VS Code now supports contributions to the debug/callstack/context
menu inline
group. Commands contributed to this group will be rendered inline in the Call Stack when a user hovers over the Debug Session element.
New Debug theme colors
There are new colors for styling the Debug view:
debugView.exceptionLabelForeground
: Foreground color for a label shown in the CALL STACK view when the debugger breaks on an exceptiondebugView.exceptionLabelBackground
: Background color for a label shown in the CALL STACK view when the debugger breaks on an exceptiondebugView.stateLabelForeground
: Foreground color for a label in the CALL STACK view showing the current session's or thread's statedebugView.stateLabelBackground
: Background color for a label in the CALL STACK view showing the current session's or thread's statedebugView.valueChangedHighlight
: Color used to highlight value changes in the Debug views (for example, the Variables view)debugTokenExpression.name
: Foreground color for the token names shown in Debug views (for example, the Variables or Watch view)debugTokenExpression.value
: Foreground color for the token values shown in Debug viewsdebugTokenExpression.string
: Foreground color for strings in Debug viewsdebugTokenExpression.boolean
: Foreground color for booleans in Debug viewsdebugTokenExpression.number
: Foreground color for numbers in Debug viewsdebugTokenExpression.error
: Foreground color for expression errors in Debug views
Source control management
New preserveFocus argument to open resource commands
When invoking the SourceControlResourceState.command
command, an additional preserveFocus: boolean
argument will be passed, which lets extension authors to provide a better user experience.
Input text mimetype
The Source Control input text now has a dedicated mimetype: text/x-scm-input
.
Control input box visibility
Extensions can now control the visibility of the Source Control input box for each repository using the SourceControlInputBox.visible
property.
Git
Remote source providers
The Git extension API now allows other extensions to provide remote sources in order to participate in the Git: Clone command.
Here's an example by the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension:
Credential providers
The Git extension API was expanded so that extensions can provide authentication credentials in order to authenticate Git commands invoked against HTTPS Git repositories within the workbench and Integrated Terminal.
SignatureInformation.activeParameter
The new activeParameter
property on SignatureInformation
lets you specify the active parameter for every signature individually. When provided, this overrides the top level SignatureHelp.activeParameter
property.
Strict null fix for EventEmitter
In VS Code 1.44 and below, the argument to EventEmitter.fire
is optional:
// Valid in VS Code 1.44
const emitter = new EventEmitter<number>();
emitter.event((x: number) => console.log(x));
// Calling fire with no argument was valid but resulted in the `x` above being `undefined`
emitter.fire();
This violated strict null checking but did not cause compile errors.
In VS Code 1.45, the fire
now requires an argument. If you still want to be able to call .fire()
with no arguments in your source code, use new EventEmitter<void>
.
Language Server Protocol
Work has started on the 3.16 version of the specification. As a first step, the Call Hierarchy support moved out of the proposed state. Please note that the 3.16 spec is not yet final and, depending on feedback, may still change.
Proposed extension APIs
Every milestone comes with new proposed APIs and extension authors can try them out. As always, we are keen on your feedback. This is what you have to do to try out a proposed API:
- You must use Insiders because proposed APIs change frequently.
- You must have this line in the
package.json
file of your extension:"enableProposedApi": true
. - Copy the latest version of the vscode.proposed.d.ts file into your project's source location.
Note that you cannot publish an extension that uses a proposed API. There may be breaking changes in the next release and we never want to break existing extensions.
Contribute to terminal environments
This new proposed API was introduced last month so that extension authors can contribute to terminal environments. This month has mainly been applying some UI on top of the feature and polishing it up. There is now a warning icon when a terminal has a "stale" environment, which shows a rich hover explaining what's going to change and includes a convenient Relaunch terminal action. There's also an information icon available when changes are active but this is disabled by default.
Providing debug configurations dynamically
We have updated the debugging extension API to give debug extension authors a way to add debug configurations dynamically, based on information found in the workspace or project. These debug configurations appear in the same UI locations where static debug configurations from the launch.json
are shown.
In this release, dynamic debug configurations are shown in the Debug view's configuration dropdown and the Select and Start Debugging Quick Pick. In a future release, we are considering showing them in the "Welcome" view as well.
The new API is based on the provideDebugConfigurations
method of the existing DebugConfigurationProvider
. Until this release, the provideDebugConfigurations
was called by VS Code to provide the initial "static" debug configurations to be copied into a newly created launch.json
. With the new API, a DebugConfigurationProvider
can now be registered via vscode.debug.registerDebugConfigurationProvider
for the "dynamic" case by passing the value DebugConfigurationProviderTriggerKind.Dynamic
to the new optional triggerKind
argument. With this new registration, VS Code will call the provideDebugConfigurations
method whenever the list of all debug configurations is about to be presented in the UI.
In order to activate extensions that make use of this new API on time, a new activation event onDebugDynamicConfigurations:<debug type>
has been introduced. The <debug type>
is mandatory and denotes for which debugger the dynamic debug configurations are specified.
A usage example can be found in Mock Debug.
Binary Custom Editor API
We spent this iteration reworking the proposed API for binary custom editors to prepare it for stabilization. As a reminder, custom editors let extensions provide their own editor user interface in place of VS Code's normal text editor. We've already stabilized support for custom editors for text based files. The proposed API extends custom editors to binary file formats such as images or hex dumps.
We want your feedback on this API so that we can hopefully finalize it next iteration. Check out the custom editor extension sample to review an example implementation of a custom editor for binary files. The Custom Editor API documentation now also covers custom editors for binary files.
Please let us know if this API works for you or if you run into any problems implementing your custom editor.
Engineering
Native iterators
We're now using native ES6 iterators to speed up performance. You can find more details in issue #94540.
Compilation daemon
Thanks to the deemon utility, we now run our selfhost compilation task as a background process: it stays running even if VS Code is restarted.
Automated issue classification
Continuing with our work in moving our issue triaging flow over to GitHub Actions, we have created Actions for automatic issue classification. These Actions work by automatically downloading all of our issues and generating Machine Learning models to classify issues into feature-areas on a scheduled basis. The full implementation of all our Actions is in our GitHub Triage Actions repository.
New documentation
Docker Compose
There is a new Docker Compose topic explaining how the Microsoft Docker extension can help you add Docker Compose files to your projects to work easily with multiple Docker containers.
Java topics
The Java topics have been updated and include new topics on Linting and Refactoring Java source code using the Java extensions.
GitHub
With the expanded GitHub integration, there is a new Working with GitHub topic that shows how you can use GitHub from within VS Code.
