Visual Studio Code output pane document updated message - disable - visual-studio-code

How can I disable these messages? Removing the Output windows from the view settings (right click) doesn't provide a fix.

From the drop down which in the screenshot says css-peek select Tasks or something else, that panel is for Output from all sorts of plugins and extensions in VSCode, it will help you understand if something is wrong with those plugins/extensions.

How can I disable problems for virtual files in VSCode?

I am working on a .Net Core application and I keep running into this problem where I get all sorts of random issues appearing in the Problems window in VSCode for "__virtual" files. There are no problems in the actual razor page (.cshtml) and everything is working how we would expect. Is there a way in VSCode to mass ignore all problems from __virtual files?
This started to happen to me after the latest update of Visual Studio Code.
My solution was to configure file association for .razor__virtual.html files into text
Open visual studio code
Click Settings icon in the left bottom and click Settings
In the search box, search for Files: Associations (Copy-paste this)
Click [Add Item] button and enter **/*.razor__virtual.html for key, text for value.
It should look like this,
Done!

How do I select all text in vistual studio code?

In visual studio code (1.29.1) ctrl+a doesn't do anything for me. I checked keyboard shortcuts and it's mapped to a few select all actions (editor.action.selectAll, etc.) but when I'm in a file and press it nothing happens. How do I select all text in the current file in visual studio code?
Thanks for the comments, it make me realize it must be an environmental issue. Turns out if you have any mapping starting with a key combination that will lock that mapping to the key combo and you can't use it for anything else.
To make save all ctrl+shift+s I had to re-map save as and I mapped it to ctrl+a+s, so everytime I hit ctrl+a it just waiting for second key. In the status bar at the bottom of my editor it said something like "Ctrl+a detected, waiting for second keystroke", which means Ctrl+a won't work on its own. I re-mapped Save As to some unused key combo and it fixed select all.
This question was luckily answered on another thread
I'll post the OG answer here, nonetheless.
Most new comers to VS-Code could resolve this issue with the 2nd method provided by the OG answer:
Goto File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
in the search bar type this Select All
There's should a couple of results, you'll obviously want the "Select All" result
right click on his line and click on Change When Expression
a textbox would be highlight for you to fill in text. type editorFocus
press enter and done!
The OG answer provides image if you need to confirm that you're doing it right.
side-note: This issue bugged for more than 3 years and is the main reason my I used VS-Community over VS-Code.
So it's nice to finally be able to work normally in this very robust customizable IDE text-editor.

Enabling auto scroll in Visual Studio Code

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)"

Can I do this with a custom Visual Studio Code Extension?

I would like to have an additional feature in Visual Studio Code - essentially the "Scope to This" from the full Visual Studio Solution Explorer.
It is basically a context menu (right click) entry in the File Explorer of Visual Studio Code - which then should limit which files and folders are displayed.
Is such a thing possible with a Visual Studio Code Extension?
I never built an extension for VS Code before and would like to know if this is even possible or if I would just waste my time.
According to the API docs, there is no way to filter visible files in the Explorer like it can usually be done with the files.exclude setting. However, it is possible to open another folder with the workspace.openFolder complex command. This will probably also close all opened editors, and forget about the original workspace root path.
Your extension would need to remember the initial root path and opened editors to undo this "Scope to This" menu, and reopening everything every time could cause quite some lag.
You can't customize the normal explorer view.
However, you can do something like this with custom views. It allows you to create a new explorer view that can list what you want and behave as you want.
For an example implementation, check the vscode-code-outline.
If you can add a context menu entry separately too.

How do I remap the `Alt+Click` action in visual studio code?

according to the documentation here I can add multiple cursors in visual studio code by using alt+Click in the editor. Sadly alt+drag is already used by the window manager to move the window around, so visual-studio-code does not get any key events. So how do I change that keyboard configuration in visual studio code? I could not find anything in the default key combinations file.
I am not looking for solution that changes my window manager, I really like that behavior and use it very frequently already for a very long time.
The easiest way in my opinion is:
From the top-level menu, click on
Selection -> Switch to Ctrl+Click for Multi-Cursor
Then you can use Ctrl+Click rather than Alt+Click.
You can see where this is in this screenshot:
My VSCode version is 1.24.1
There is currently no way to do this but already an open issue on GitHub which addresses that.
