Meme Terminal Sounds

A VS Code extension that plays meme sounds when:

  1. A new error is detected in your code.
  2. Specific commands are executed in the terminal.

Features

  • Error Sounds: Automatically plays a sound when the diagnostics engine finds a new error.
  • Terminal Sounds: Play sounds based on regex patterns matched against terminal commands.
  • Customizable: Configure your own sounds for each event.

Configuration

Go to VS Code Settings and search for Meme Sounds:

  • memeSounds.enableErrorSounds: Enable/disable sounds for coding errors.
  • memeSounds.errorSoundPath: Full path to your error sound file (e.g., /Users/me/sounds/oh-no.mp3).
  • memeSounds.terminalMappings: A list of patterns and sound paths. Example:
    [
      {
        "pattern": "git pull",
        "soundPath": "/Users/me/sounds/success.mp3"
      },
      {
        "pattern": "npm install",
        "soundPath": "/Users/me/sounds/loading.mp3"
      }
    ]
    

Requirements
