Run VS Commands from Editor

Run VS code internal commands directly from editor by click or hotkey

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.48+

How to Use

• Only tested on Windows

• By default the extention is enabled, you can toggle it using the command palette. Trigger the command palette (Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P) -> Command Runner: Enable / Disable.

Cmds

1. Once it is enabled, above every line that contains the symbols $> followed by a code snipped (between ``backticks\) appears a button to execute the command (or run the current line or nearest cursor line by alt+j key), like:

$> `cursorDown`

2. Also can run multiple commands, separated by "|":

$> `cursorUp|cursorUp|cursorUp`

3. With arguments cmd("arg")

4. With arguments and eval cmd[eval("arg")]

$> `vscode.open[vscode.Uri.file("C:/Folder/File.txt")]`

5. Eval commands and see their values at toast notification and console log eval(cmd)

$> `eval(vscode.window.activeTextEditor.document.fileName)`
$> `eval(vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders)`
$> `eval(1 + 2)`

Aliases

1. Open file (at VS Code) alias. Works with relative path opener("FILEPATH")

$> `opener("C:/Folder/File.txt")`

2. Reveal at explorer (path must exist and the last slash is optional) alias revealer("PATH")

$> `revealer("C:/Folder/")`
$> `revealer("C:/Folder/File.txt")`

3. For both reveal or open: works with relative path or wildcard (* at the end will open the closest match in case of file or folder)

$> `opener("./../../../Folder/File.txt")`
$> `revealer("C:/Users/lic*")`

4. Environmental variables also works.

• VS Code: ${key:value}
• Win: %var%

$> `eval("${config:workbench.colorTheme}")`
$> `opener("%ComSpec%")`
$> `revealer("%APPDATA%")`
$> `revealer("${env:USERPROFILE}")`

5. Copy to clipboard

$> `copy("TEXT")`
