Synchronize your active Visual Studio Code Word Wrap state in real time with Bitfocus Companion (e.g. for dynamic button feedback on an Elgato Stream Deck).
Features
Real-time Sync: Instantly sends an HTTP POST request to the Bitfocus Companion REST API whenever Word Wrap is toggled.
Initial Status Push: Transmits the current Word Wrap state to Companion as soon as VS Code launches.
Native Integration: Executes standard, zero-delay visual word wrapping in the active editor.
Single Source of Truth: VS Code remains the sole source of truth — Companion seamlessly mirrors the state.
Fully Configurable: Easily configure host IP, HTTP port, and custom variable name in VS Code settings.
