If running from terminal, make sure to run it as codium (not vscodium), otherwise, it will not use native Wayland window. If using vscodium-bin AUR, use the ~/.config/nf file. Note that this is specific to these packages, as they use a patched loader script that reads these options.
#WORKSPACE MANAGER VISUAL STUDIO EXTENSION CODE#
When using a per-user configuration, both visual-studio-code-bin AUR and code read ~/.config/nf. Such applications will not read the standard Electron flags file. However, some applications do not use system electron, but bring their own.
#WORKSPACE MANAGER VISUAL STUDIO EXTENSION HOW TO#
Visual Studio code uses Electron, see Wayland#Electron for more information on how to run it natively under Wayland. ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json "圎xec": "gnome-terminal" "圎xec": "Your alternative terminal" sets the default terminal to be used for exec debug. spawn truecolor ENOENT, you can change the terminal that will be used by Visual Studio to another terminal (e.g. If you are using Terminator as default terminal for Arch and you have an error on Visual Studio Code: Unable to launch debugger worker process (vsdbg) through the terminal. Remove the line to solve the problem or use an external terminal. You might face weird prompts after setting the integrated shell arguments with an external terminal. ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json "": "/usr/bin/fish", sets the arguments to be passed to the shell. View > Integrated Terminal or Ctrl + ` opens up an integrated terminal.īy default, Bash is used with no additional arguments, although this can be changed. When migrating from Code to Codium (or vice versa), the settings directory can be copied or moved, since they share most of their codebase, the settings are compatible. Vscodium AUR and related packages store their settings in ~/.config/VSCodium/User/settings.json. Visual-studio-code-bin AUR stores settings in ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json. If for any reason you wish to launch multiple instances of Visual Studio Code, the -n flag can be used.Ĭode stores settings in ~/.config/Code - OSS/User/settings.json. Run code to start the application (or if you are using other releases, run code-git for code-git AUR or codium for vscodium-bin AUR/ vscodium AUR/ vscodium-git AUR).

Tip: It is useful to enable a keyboard shortcut to reload the IDE when experimenting with changing product.json. It is possible to bypass this limitation. The open-source releases above add the Open VSIX extension registry, but this does not offer the same breadth of extensions. As a result, the Code - OSS source does not include a configured marketplace. However, the terms of use of the marketplace only permit it to be used with the Microsoft branded releases.

One of Code's main strengths is its flexible API and rich extension ecosystem hosted on the Visual Studio Marketplace. For more info on the differences between open source and proprietary "Visual Studio Code" branded builds, consult the Code - OSS GitHub wiki. The latter is enforced by a handshake mechanism, and cannot be circumvented. Notably, only the proprietary builds are permitted to use Microsoft's marketplace and use Microsoft proprietary extensions such as the OmniSharp C# Debugger. These different flavors are all built from the Code - OSS repository, but with different licensing and default configurations. Nullifies telemetry in the source code, also ships configuration with Open VSX. VSCodium - Community open-source release.

Visual Studio Code - Proprietary Microsoft-branded release.Code - OSS - Official Arch Linux open-source release.The following flavors of Visual Studio Code are available:

There is also a community-driven, MIT-licensed binary release called VSCodium with telemetry disabled by default. For details on the mixed licensing, see this GitHub comment. Visual Studio Code is a binary distribution of the MIT-licensed Code - OSS repository, with Microsoft specific customizations and released under a proprietary license. Code is a cross-platform text editor developed by Microsoft, built on the Electron framework.
