Commands Inspector lets you explore VS Code commands (both native and those added by third-party extensions), invoke them (with or without arguments) and explore under-the-hood of the installed extensions. 🕵️
Dump all commands
Open the command bar (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Type in Dump commands (JSON) and press Enter.
Invoke a command (with/without arguments)
Open the command bar (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Type in Invoke command and press Enter.
Select the command from the list or type in a part of its identifier then press Enter.
ℹ️ As an example you can try executing the echo command defined in this extension, named vscode-command-inspector.tools.echo or the builtin Toggle Terminal named as workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal.
Select if you'd want to invoke the command:
Without argument.
With arguments read from a JSON file.
With arguments read from the active document/selection.
With arguments in plain JSON (i.e., to be typed in the command bar).
ℹ️ Provide arguments as a JSON array. For example:
[
"First argument",
{ "name": "Second argument as on object" }
]
A notification message would display the result of the action, if any.
Dump commands grouped by extensions
Open the command bar (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Type in Dump extension commands (JSON) and press Enter.
Dump extension manifests
Open the command bar (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Type in Dump extension(s) (JSON) and press Enter.
Select the extensions you'd want to see their manifests (i.e., package.json file).
