I am trying to figure out if its possible to have vscode reopen my remotely saved workspace on open of the program automatically.
Additional info:
I have the settings for a normal reopen on (restoreWindow).
I see the workspace on my Open > Recents, but I want to automate this part
Interestingly after a couple times opening and closing (didn't really pay attention to it, after two hours I noticed), it opens the workspace on its own. I was reopening it manually from Recents in the meantime.
It would be great to know where is this info stored in vscode to debug it manually.

Earlier today I was having an issue where when I would go to open a new terminal or open a file or folder in Integrated Terminal the terminal would be automatically killed within a couple of seconds without me manually killing it. I was confused as to why this was happening because as far as I could tell I hadn't changed my settings.json file in VS Code or User or Workspace settings and everything was running smoothly just minutes earlier. I was able to resolve that issue but I created a new minor inconvenience. Now whenever I open a file or folder in Integrated terminal it displays "sh-3.2$" instead of the current directory I'm in. If I type pwd and press enter it'll of course display the current directory I'm in but I don't want to have to type that a million times moving forward. If somebody could help me fix this issue I'd greatly appreciate it! I read some of the documentation online but I'm a new bootcamp student and I tried following along but it was going over my head. Thanks again!
I was reading a similar Stack Overflow question and they were saying to try and setup/configure my bash shell to have a prompt with path, specifically the PS1 environment variable, but I was confused on how to actually go about doing that.
I open a file on a BeagleBone Black running debian 8.4 with VScode via SFTP with winSCP. By right clicking > edit > code.
When the file opens, VScode also opens three new files named visual, studio, and code (image attached). I did not create these files myself. Opening files from other sources does not cause this.
I have tried closing the files individually. Connecting and reconnecting. Opening and closing VScode. In every possible order and configuration. They return every time when opening another file with the same method.
This is how I have set up VScode as an editor in WinSCP.
This is extremely odd, and only trivial, yet highly annoying.
What's causing this? How do I stop it?
What I want is to have all of my workplace preferences reset every time I quit VS Code. Right now, if I quit the application and opened the same folder I previously closed, VS Code still retains all pointer positions and all opened files. This maybe good for a lot of people, but for me, I just feel overwhelmed.
What I have tried:
I tried to locate .vscode folder but it is non-existent in my project folder.
"Clear Command History" doesn't work.
"Clear Editor History" doesn't work.
Following this link ---> https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/42948 and deleting /home//.config/Code/Local Storage doesn't work.
Following this link ---> https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/42948 and running window.localStorage.clear() in Electron development console returns undefined.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.
In the settings menu you can search for window.restoreWindows and change that to none. You can also change workbench.editor.restoreViewState to false which might also help.
Previous searches for Visual Studio Code show responses for not remembering any open editors, or the opposite, but I seem to be having a novel problem. Within the same workspace, closing VSC and reopening (e.g. after a restart) will reopen some editor windows but they are often files that I had worked in and closed in the past, not the files I had open when VSC was shut down. The Restore Windows setting is set to all. Limit: Enabled for the amount of editors allowed to be open is not checked. Autosave is enabled.
Do I need to be manually saving my workspace? Is there some other obvious setting I'm missing?
I gave a chance to Visual Studio Code as my primary editor. I had been using Notepad++ and afterwards I have been using Sublime Text 2 and 3 for few years. I do see potential of this editor and I really like it, but there is one thing I am strongly used to.
Notepad++ and Sublime Text has this feature, I can edit file and DON'T save it anywhere. After restart Notepad/Sublime Text this file is there ready for me.
Other workflow could be open any file from my local storage, close VS Code and start it again. This file will not open!
I know about that when I open folder and restart VS Code, folder is open and files as well. But is there any way how can I manage to have opened files after restart without having opened folder?
Edit: This is now implemented:
// Controls whether unsaved files are remembered between sessions, allowing the save prompt when exiting the editor to be skipped.
"files.hotExit": "onExit"
I use the insider release, and in the current version (1.3.0), vscode doesn't keep unsaved file. I think there is a feature request for that.
Got it: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/293070-visual-studio-code/suggestions/8568343-keep-unsaved-files-after-crash
You can vote for that feature, like I did !
On the other hand, You can tell in settings if you want to re-open previously opened folders, but not files.
"window.reopenFolders": "all"
