CmdPad — VS Code Command Runner & Manager

⚡ Save & run your favorite terminal commands directly from VS Code.
Stop retyping git, docker, or build commands—CmdPad makes them one keystroke away.

🚀 Why CmdPad?

Developers waste time hunting and retyping the same commands.
CmdPad gives you a personalized command palette for all your go-to shell commands:

• 🏃 Run instantly from the Command Palette or integrated terminal
• 📝 Insert-only mode → paste commands without executing
• 🔄 Share with your team via .vscode/cmdpad.json
• 🖥️ Webview Manager for bulk editing & reordering
• ⚡ Smart placeholders like ${file}, ${selectedText}, ${prompt:Branch}

👉 Perfect for repetitive workflows with Git, Docker, npm, Python, or custom scripts.

✨ Features

• Command Palette list with a top “＋ Add command…” entry and item-level Edit/Delete
• Terminal-aware execution
  • Reuse a named terminal or open a new terminal
  • Insert-only mode per command or globally
  • Optional confirm-before-run safety prompt
• Smart placeholders for dynamic values
• Grouping & sorting by labels (e.g., docker, git)
• Export/Import → .vscode/cmdpad.json (team-friendly, versionable)
• Webview Manager → UI for bulk edits & reorder

⚡ Quickstart in 30 Seconds

1. Install CmdPad from the Marketplace
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+C (default keybinding)

Example:

[
  {
    "title": "Docker Build",
    "command": "docker build -t myapp:${prompt:Tag} ${workspaceFolder}",
    "group": "docker",
    "confirmBeforeRun": true
  },
  {
    "title": "Git Status",
    "command": "git status",
    "group": "git"
  }
]
