Error Lens Veyra
See every problem right where it is.
Error Lens Veyra puts each error and warning at the end of its line, tints the line, and shows the problem under your cursor in the status bar. No more hovering over squiggles or opening the Problems panel. Works with every language that VS Code checks: TypeScript, Python, ESLint, C#, Go, Rust, spelling and more. By the makers of Veyra Studio.
- 🔴 Messages at the end of the line, coloured by severity, with
(+2 more) when a line has several.
- 🎨 The line gently tinted, so problems stand out while you scroll.
- 📍 The cursor's problem in the status bar, with every problem on that line in its tooltip.
- ⌨️ Calm while you type: the line you're editing waits until you pause, so half-typed code doesn't flash errors.
- 🎯 Show only what you want: choose severities, hide noisy sources like spell checkers, or follow the cursor.
Light or dark, it fits your theme
The colours come from your theme and can be changed like any other theme colour, under workbench.colorCustomizations:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"veyraLens.errorForeground": "#ff5f56",
"veyraLens.errorBackground": "#ff5f5610"
}
The colours are veyraLens.errorForeground, warningForeground, infoForeground and hintForeground, and the matching …Background for the line.
