Usage

Manual Activation

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "Tenvy: Activate Environment" and press Enter
3. If multiple environments are found, select one from the quick pick menu

Selecting a Different Environment

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "Tenvy: Select Environment" and press Enter
3. Select an environment from the quick pick menu

Deactivating the Environment

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "Tenvy: Deactivate Environment" and press Enter
3. The current environment will be deactivated

Creating a New Environment

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "Tenvy: Create New Environment" and press Enter
3. A new virtual environment named ".venv" will be created in your workspace root
4. If a requirements.txt file exists, you'll be prompted to install the packages

Installing Requirements

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "Tenvy: Install Requirements" and press Enter

Status Bar

The extension adds a status bar item showing the currently active environment. Click on it to show a menu with options:

• Create New Environment
• Activate Environment (if environments exist)
• Deactivate Environment (if an environment is active)
• Install Requirements (if requirements.txt exists and an environment is active)

If the status bar button is not visible, you can show it by running the "Tenvy: Show Status Bar Button" command from the Command Palette.

The status bar button changes color based on its state:

• Orange/Yellow: No environment is activated
• Blue: An environment is activated

Known Issues

• The extension currently only supports the first workspace folder in multi-root workspaces
• On some systems, the status bar button might not be visible by default. Use the "Tenvy: Show Status Bar Button" command to make it visible.
