Gentle Error for Visual Studio Code

Gentle Error hides error and warning squiggles while you are actively typing, giving you a smooth and distraction-free coding experience. Once you stop typing, the squiggles reappear automatically.


Features

  • Hide Squiggles on Typing: Automatically suppresses code squiggles (#00000000 transparency) while typing.
  • Restore on Delay: Restores error indicators after a configurable delay (default: 1000ms).
  • Multilingual Support: Supports English and Japanese out-of-the-box, with automatic system language detection.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • gentleError.delay: Delay in milliseconds before restoring error squiggles after typing stops (Default: 1000).
  • gentleError.language: Choose notification and status language (auto, en, ja).

How it Works

Gentle Error temporarily modifies workbench.colorCustomizations in user settings to make squiggles completely transparent while typing, and removes the overrides when typing stops.
