Release Notes

1.2.3

• fix: stop registering the build-in actions.find command b/c messing with the find widget is no fun. So no minimap auto open on cmd-f without having to select a word first like a neandertaler.

1.2.2

• fix: search widget openes with "test" as searchString.

1.2.1

• now with updated readme :roll_eyes:

1.2.0

• Set own settings
• show Minimap when find widget is opened

1.0.0

• Initial release

TODOs

• [x] use autohide animation

• [x] enable/disable settings

• [ ] autohide delay

• [ ] use Global or Workspace settings

• [ ] save all changed settings on first init and restore when disabled

• [ ] option to disable minimapGutter.added/modified/deleted-Background

• [ ] tests

• considerations:

  • [ ] debounce handleSelectionChange
  • [ ] fade in animation (not directly supported by VS Code, needs manually transitioning opacity)

• [ ] enable when start search - see 1.2.3: will not implement.

Warning

VS Code's API currently doesn't allow direct manipulation of the DOM for extensions. Due to this limitation, MiniGlimpse toggles the minimap by changing its on/off state in the User/Workspace setting.
