I installed GitLens in VS Code. Then it asked if I wanted to try the GitLens+ features. I clicked "Yes". Now I am stuck at the welcome screen and can't get past it. Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying screen?
Uninstall gitlens extension. Productivity extensions shouldn't reduce productivity by putting up adds that can't easily be closed.
I had the same problem, but I was able to solve it by following the steps below.
Open the sidebar extension
Click the down arrow to the right of the uninstall
Install another version
Install 11.7.0
Reload
But there was no Gitlens in the sidebar
So next
"git lens: show welcome view" in the command palette
Select "git lenses layout" in "view" of "quick setup"
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
Then install the latest version
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
I hope it helps you even a little.
Go to VS Code command Pallete and select GitLens+: Sign out of Gitlens+
that should get you to the previous experience.
you can also use the the VSCode Command Pallete to display the views you want, such as
I think I had the same issue on Windows (now I'm on my mac) so I went back to Windows, created a new account, and started the trial since logging off of my account on Windows didn't result in that scenario.
I couldn't reproduce it on Windows either.
I'm thinking that might be a glitch, I'm sure you already tried to close VSCode and open again, so, maybe try to sign out and sign in again.
If you want to remove the "home" view, use the elipses on the top right and untick it. Also, check if the other views are enabled.
The problem here is that when we install GitLens extension then all the GitLens features and buttons are added under the generic source control tab (Ctrl+shift+G). Even though GitLens creates a new tab of its own and it looks like all features and buttons are hiding behind the welcome screen. This is not the case and everything but the welcome screen is under the generic source control tab. Poor design choice indeed.
Hide GitLens+ Features from the Command Palette GitLens+: Hide GitLens+ Features
To restore from the Command Palette GitLens+: Restore GitLens+ Features
Step 1. Uninstall GitLens
This avoids fiddling with settings to try to stop it being nag-ware.
Step 2. Install Git Graph
This has the nicest "railway-track" display of commits that I have come across, although the dev seems to be not responding to contact during 2022.
An alternative is Git History, which remains under active development, although its railway-track display is less compact and efficient.

I've encountered a very strange bug with Microsoft Visual Studio Code. I've been using VSCode for a few months now and never had this issue. When I open VSCode, the window just doesn't appear. The app is definitely open, because when I hover over the icon on my taskbar I can see what is being displayed in the app:
Unfortunately, when I click on it, the window does not appear.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted cache, tried older versions and nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? Any advice?
hover over VSCode icon in taskbar
right click on it
click on "New Window"
That should do it.
I had something similar. It appears that the window is just off-screen. I've used my DisplayFusion display manager - to move windows to center/top where I could handle it myself. I expect it'll also work using <Win> + <←> (maximize window to left side of screen).
In my case, the issue went away when uninstalling the GlassIt-VSC extension. I tried modifying the opacity of the window and then it disappeared. I highly suggest you try uninstalling this extension.
In my case I had connected HDMI cable but due to power off my monitor was off, but when I disconnected hdmi cable; VS code visible on my screen.
Got the answer since no one was helping.
Go to view.
Click solution explorer.
It should show the name of your project.
Click the small arrow at the beginning of the heading of your project.
Click source files.
Click yourproject.cpp.
Thank you.
I encountered a similar issue with a plugin called GlassIt while I was playing with a property called "glassit.alpha" somehow it went to 1 (possibly I changed it accidentally) and nothing showed up. (here's an image where you can slightly see that I set alpha to 20)
what i did was to just edit the %appdata%\..\Roaming\Code\User\Settings.json and set "glassit.alpha": 1, to 255
UPDATE I just realised there was already an answer I didn't see while I was writing this post
I had this issue during a remote desktop session and could bring the VSC window back via hitting F11 (via the onscreen keyboard in my case, since the F11 key on my keyboard was being captured by the host system).
In my case, I have a dual monitor setup, and the laptop was in clamshell mode. However, the laptop's built-in monitor was recognized as a third monitor, and VsCode was going there.
Is there any way that we can enable auto scroll in Visual Studio Code? I have been looking in the settings but could not find anything(unless i missed something).
I am reviewing a log file and as it gets updated, its refreshed on my side. But it is not showing the latest logs but just stays where my cursor was and highlights everything that gets populated after that.
Had the same problem but did not find a setting within VS Code.
However there is an extension for VS Code:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pejmannikram.vscode-auto-scroll
Works quite well for me.
There's now a built in VSCode setting - you can untick Smart Scroll option (output.smartScroll.enabled).
As described here:
VSCode: Turn auto scrolling permanently ON
"An option to turn off the smart scroll feature was included in one of the recents update (probably in the March 2020 update, I didn't found this on the changelog), see more: issue #69480
Since then, I've been able to "save" the scroll state, try this:
Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or Ctrl + ,)
In Features > Output, disable Smart Scroll option (or search output.smartScroll.enabled)"
I have updated VS code insiders for the latest version.
Now it shows below kind of new panel right side of the editor.Can you tell me what is that and how to remove it?
Open setting.json and set "editor.minimap.enabled" to false.
The mini-map provides a summary of your code for a quick navigation.
It is a feature!
the mini-map shows you the entire file/page you are working on. You
can quickly navigate it via the mini-map
I use Eclipse Neon under Windows 10.
I installed a plugin (MonjaDB) using Eclipse Market Place. As I didn't find the plugin to be very useful I uninstalled it using Help->About->Installation Details->Installed Software->Uninstall. Sadly, however, this didn't seem to fully remove the plugin.
I now have a small red square on the right hand side of my workspace in the shortcut toolbar. This cannot be removed using the close option. I went so far as to remove my installation of Eclipse and the .eclipse directory in my home area but after a reinstall the square is still there.
Presumably this means that it is somehow associated with the project in my workspace?? Does anyone have any ideas how to remove this annoying square?
EDIT:
I have noticed two things
The MonjaDB perspective is hanging around somehow and
If I press the little red square on the right it opens an empty tab in the tab set to the right (where mylyn sits) with the title of DB Tree but I cannot remove it.
I have added three screen shots
MonjaDb perspective Partly Active
It seems like your current perspective is the one that was uninstalled. Just try opening a new one via the Open Perspective toolbar button that's close to thevred square, and then you can try right-click > Close on the red square.
At least a part of this is intentional...when the implementation class of a view no longer exists we leave the view 'open' but are supposed to show an "Error Part'. The reason to leave it up is to handle cases where a user has installed a new eclipse and opens his old workspace before installing the extensions. If we were to remove the views the user would have to set up their perspectives again once they had installed the extension.
Note that resetting the perspective won't work because the class implementing IPespectiveFactory no longer exists.
Closing the perspective and opening a new, different, one should work. If the perspective you open has visible views that are no longer available you should just close them.
Just wondering if there is a way to get a tabbed view in VS Code (editor), and if not, is that feature yet to be added?
Update
Yes! VS Code 1.3.0 added this feature.
Original
Not as of v0.3.0, as far as I know.

Yes to both of your questions.
It recently became available, if you are on the nightly Insiders release. This will soon be introduced into the product itself as well, most likely in early July.
First, download the Insiders release.
In VS Code Insider's top application menu, open Preferences >
User Settings, and then add the following setting "workbench.editor.showTabs": true
You then will have tabs enabled in your editor as shown below
The closest thing to the tabs concept tha i found is using Ctrl+Tab to navigate in the history of opened files.
VS Code v1.3.0 has tabs similar to that of sublime text.
But Tab switching is still the same as the previous version.
