vsxdt

vsxdt is a VS Code extension for browser automation and quick JS evaluation while developing.

Cycle Proxy

vsxdt.toggleProxies · DevTools: Cycle Proxy · Alt+Shift+P

Cycles VS Code global http.proxy: each URL in vsxdt.proxyList in order, then no proxy, then repeats—useful for rotating HTTP(S) proxies without opening Settings.

1. Open Settings and fill vsxdt → Proxy List (vsxdt.proxyList) with one entry per URL, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080.
2. Run DevTools: Cycle Proxy from the Command Palette, or press Alt+Shift+P if not bound elsewhere.
3. The status bar (~5 seconds) shows the proxy just applied or (no proxy) when the cycle clears it.

If vsxdt.proxyList is empty, the command reminds you to add entries.
