Additional Features

  • Pick Command type when adding a parameter to parse the selectable parameters dynamically from a shell command.
  • Edit/Delete the entry at the input section of the configuration file to adjust/remove the parameter.
  • Add "canPickMany": true to the args object of any status bar parameter to enable multiple selection.
  • Add initialSelectionto the args object of any status bar parameter to set an initial selection which gets used the first time the parameter gets loaded. The default initial selection is first value if canPickMany=true, no value otherwise.
  • Use the string ${command:statusBarParam.get.<param_name>} (instead of ${input:<param_name>}) to retrieve the selected value of a parameter from any other vscode configuration file than the one it is defined in.
