Keyboard Rage Detector

A funny-but-useful VS Code extension that detects keyboard smashing and intervenes with calming chaos.

Features

• Detects keyboard smash patterns like:
  • asdfghjkl
  • qwerty
  • ;;;;;
  • /////
  • repeated chars like aaaaaa
• Detects high-speed random typing bursts.
• Works across regular editor files and notebook cell edits.
• Monitors terminal shell commands (when VS Code shell integration is active).
• Supports external/chat integrations through a command trigger.
• Shows a Calm-down popup with:
  • I am calm now
  • It deserved it
• Optional temporary typing lock (default 3 seconds).
• Funny advice messages.
• Modes:
  • normal
  • cat (shows random cat GIF panel)
  • zen
  • chaos
• Emergency Debug Survival Mode when rage occurs 3 times in 2 minutes.
• Tracks rage statistics:
  • today's smashes
  • weekly smashes
  • longest rage session
  • most violent file
• Easter eggs:
  • typing sudo fix my life → Permission denied.
  • 10 smashes → Achievement unlocked: Senior Developer

Chat/IDE integration

If another extension or IDE-connected chatbot can execute VS Code commands, it can call:

• Command: rageDetector.reportExternalInput
• Payload example:
  • { "text": "asdfghjkl;;;;", "source": "chatbot" }

You can also run Rage Detector: Trigger Manual Rage Event from the Command Palette for quick testing.

Run locally

1. Install dependencies:
   • npm install
2. Compile:
   • npm run compile
3. Press F5 in VS Code to launch the Extension Development Host.

Notes

• Typing lock is implemented by intercepting the VS Code type command.
• Statistics are stored in VS Code global state.
• Terminal detection depends on VS Code shell integration events.
