Path Panda

Path Panda shows status bar indicators based on the active editor file path. Configure patterns in the generated .path-panda.json file and open it anytime via the Command Palette using "Path Panda: Open Config".

Features

  • Status bar indicators based on the active editor file path.
  • Multiple indicators when multiple patterns match.
  • Config file created automatically in extension global storage.
  • Click any indicator to open the configuration file.
  • Supports JSON with comments and trailing commas.

Configuration

The config file is stored in the extension global storage folder and is created automatically the first time the extension runs. Open it by clicking a Path Panda indicator or by running the command "Path Panda: Open Config" from the Command Palette.

Example configuration:

{
  // You can remove this example pattern and add your own.
  "patterns": [
    {
      "name": "Path Panda",
      "pattern": "*",
      "match_case": false,
      "match_whole_word": true,
      "use_regex": false,
      "emoji": "🐼",
      "color": "statusBar.foreground",
      "background_color": "statusBarItem.prominentBackground"
    }
  ]
}

For all fields, allowed foreground tokens, and background tokens, see docs/CONFIG.md. When the config file is open, VS Code provides validation and completions from the built-in schema.
