Editor Context

A VS Code extension that automatically detects and exposes your IDE environment information as context variables. Perfect for creating cross-editor compatible extensions and configurations.

Features

• Automatic IDE Detection: Identifies which VS Code-based editor you're using (VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Trae, Kiro, Antigravity, and more)
• Version Detection: Provides IDE version information for version-specific configurations
• URI Scheme Support: Exposes the IDE's URI scheme for deep linking and protocol handling
• Context Variables: Sets editor context variables that can be used in:
  • Keybindings (when clauses)
  • Settings configurations
  • Extension conditions
  • Custom commands

Supported IDEs (Actually any VS Code based IDE should work)

• Visual Studio Code
• Visual Studio Code - Insiders
• VSCodium
• Cursor
• Windsurf
• Antigravity
• Trae
• Kiro

Usage

Once installed, the extension automatically sets context variables based on your detected IDE:

• editor.app - The full application name
• editor.uri - The URI scheme used by the IDE
• editor.version - The IDE version number (e.g., 1.60)
• editor.${key} - Set to true for the specific IDE (e.g., editor.cursor, editor.windsurf)
• editor.unsupported - Set to true if the IDE is not recognized

Example: Conditional Keybindings

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+p",
  "command": "cursor.command",
  "when": "editor.cursor"
}

Example: Settings per IDE

{
  "[typescript]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    "when": "editor.vscode"
  }
}
