Context Collector

A VSCode extension that replicates Cursor's Antigravity feature — select code, press a key, and accumulate multiple snippets as formatted context for Claude Code.

How it works

1. Select any code in the editor
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+L (Cmd+Shift+L on Mac) to capture it
3. Repeat for as many snippets as you want
4. Open the panel (Ctrl+Shift+;) and click Copy Context
5. Paste into your Claude Code chat

The copied context looks like this (ready for Claude Code to understand):

// extension/src/extension.ts (lines 10–25)
function handleCapture() { ... }

// scripts/utils.py (line 42)
def process_data(items): ...

Setup (dev / local install)

cd extension
npm install
npm run compile

Then press F5 in VSCode to launch the Extension Development Host.

To install permanently, package it:

npm install -g @vscode/vsce
vsce package          # produces context-collector-0.1.0.vsix
code --install-extension context-collector-0.1.0.vsix

Keybindings

Change the capture keybinding

Option A — from the panel: Click the Keybinding button in the panel header.

Option B — manually:

1. Open File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+K Ctrl+S)
2. Search for Context Collector: Capture Selection
3. Click the pencil icon and press your preferred key combo

Commands

All commands are available via Ctrl+Shift+P:

• Context Collector: Capture Selection — add current selection
• Context Collector: Open Panel — show/focus the context panel
• Context Collector: Clear All Snippets — wipe all captured snippets
• Context Collector: Configure Keybinding — open keybinding editor

Using the extension

Customizing keybindings in VSCode

Once installed, you can change any shortcut via VSCode's built-in keybinding editor.

How to find them:

1. Press Ctrl+K then Ctrl+S to open Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Search by command ID or display name:

3. Click the pencil icon next to any command and press your preferred key combo

Note: The capture shortcut only fires when editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection — so it won't conflict with other shortcuts unless you also have text selected.
