📋 Activity Logger
Activity Logger is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that automatically logs your coding session activities — including file edits, file switches, and script executions — into a human-readable log file saved to your system.
🚀 Features
Session Logging
Records session start and end times with timestamps.
Edit Logging
Logs edits to files, throttled to once every 10 seconds per file.
File Switch Detection
Detects when you switch between different files in the editor.
Run Detection
Detects when a supported file (e.g., .py, .js, .ts, .java, etc.) is run and logs execution status, output, and mode (normal/debug).
Open Log File Command
Open the session log file directly in VS Code via the command palette.
📂 Log File Location
The log file is stored at:
~/Documents/Activity-Session-Log.txt
This file accumulates all activity logs across sessions.

## 🛠️ Supported File Types for Execution Logging
The extension can detect and log run activity for the following file types:
- Python (`.py`)
- JavaScript (`.js`)
- TypeScript (`.ts`)
- Java (`.java`)
- C/C++ (`.c`, `.cpp`)
- Go (`.go`)
- Rust (`.rs`)

> Note: Actual file execution is attempted, so make sure interpreters/compilers are installed and available in your system PATH.
