Mobile Mode

Touch-first VS Code for phones (vscode.dev, PWA, tunnels).

Features

  • Automatic detection: activates only on mobile web clients (vscode.env.uiKind + user agent); stays dormant on desktop. Override with mobileMode.activation (auto | on | off) or the Mobile Mode: Ativar/Desativar command.
  • Keyboard-safe reading: every file opens read-only in session (mobileMode.autoLock), so tapping code never raises the virtual keyboard. Pair with "editor.domReadOnly": true.
  • Dynamic lock: status bar item and deck entry showing lock/unlock for the active file; one tap toggles editing.
  • Action deck: activity bar view with tappable rows that run commands without any text input — no keyboard popups. Configurable via mobileMode.actions; the sidebar auto-closes after an action (mobileMode.autoCloseSidebar).

Recommended companion settings

{
    "editor.domReadOnly": true,
    "editor.editContext": false,
    "editor.wordWrap": "on",
    "editor.scrollbar.vertical": "visible",
    "editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize": 26,
    "workbench.sash.size": 14,
    "workbench.list.horizontalScrolling": true
}
