sivtr VS Code extension

Launch the sivtr AI session picker from VS Code.

Usage

Install sivtr first:

cargo install sivtr

If sivtr is missing, the extension will offer to open a terminal and run that install command.

Run Sivtr: Pick AI Session from the command palette, or press Alt+Y.

The extension opens a VS Code terminal in the current workspace and runs the context-aware AI session picker:

sivtr hotkey-pick-agent --cwd . --provider all

Before launching, the extension resolves the workspace path and quotes the command line for the active shell, so paths with spaces or quotes work across PowerShell, cmd.exe, fish, and POSIX shells.

If the terminal was opened from a live codex resume session, sivtr prefers that exact session id first. Otherwise it falls back to the newest non-empty session whose cwd matches the workspace.

On Linux, this VS Code keybinding is the recommended default shortcut. sivtr does not currently provide a desktop-wide global hotkey on Linux outside VS Code because global shortcut registration and terminal launching are not portable across Wayland, X11, and terminal-only environments.

On macOS, the same VS Code shortcut is also the recommended default shortcut. If you want a Terminal-based launcher outside VS Code, run sivtr init macos-shortcut on the Mac host.

Quick one-line fallback outside VS Code:

sivtr init macos-shortcut && ~/.local/bin/sivtr-pick-codex

Settings

To use Ctrl+Y, override the keybinding in VS Code Keyboard Shortcuts.
