Usage
Install TICS
If TICS is not installed, a button is displayed on the right top of an opened file that can be used to install TICS.
If clicked, VS Code will ask for a TICS Viewer URL. Any TICS Viewer URL can be copied and inserted here.
If authentication is needed, VS Code will either:
TICS Viewer versions < 2024.2.0: Give a warning giving directions for creating an authentication token. This token then needs to be put in %APPDATA%\TICS. Hit Install TICS again.
TICS Viewer versions >= 2024.2.0: Open the TICS Viewer in the browser and have the user authenticate themselves. The plugin will then automatically provide the user's machine with an authentication token.
TICS will be installed (as can be seen in the OUTPUT panel).
Commands
