Stuck Overflow

Stuck Overflow allows you to search Stack Overflow from VS Code, using the input box or directly from errors flagged in your code.

Features

• From the command palette type 'Stuck Search' to find the Stuck Overflow command, then enter your query to search Stack Overflow. It will open in your default browser with the results.

• Prepends the file type to the search to give more relevant results.

• Ability to add custom file types for the search criteria.

• Click the Lightbulb (Quick Action) on erroneous code to perform an 'exact' or 'fuzzy' search of the error on Stack Overflow.

• Enable/Disable the search types on the quick action menu by adding the following to your User Settings:

  "stuckOverflow.enableFuzzySearch" : true, "stuckOverflow.enableExactSearch" : false

• Use the keyboard shortcut to launch the quick action menu on multi-line errors. (Win: CTRL + . | Mac: CMD + .)
