Similar to #10, opening a replace preview from a global find/replace view draws the focus back to the Explorer instead of leaving it on Search.

When attempting to change the name within Projects in the Dashboard Projects.json file then saving the file, the change is not updated when opening Dashboard ?

Hi!

The use case: I have statusbar (and almost everything else) hidden / toggled off.
I would like to check the statusbar, in some situations. So: Issue a command to display statusbar, and after a short delay, it hides itself again.

Two example situations, that differ somewhat:

1. I simply want to see some information that is displayed in the statusbar, or possibly click on one of the elements (start a share session, or whatever)
2. When executing some commands, they display results in the statusbar - ideally, I would like to define a command sequence using e g cycler that executes a command, shows the statusbar, waits for a bit (insert delay or callback in x secs), and then hides the statusbar again.

So, this is an idea / feature request for a timer/delay feature!

I can see a few options of how to express it/fit it in, but since I have little clue about the implementation, I will refrain from speculating... :-)

Thanks for a great extension!

Hi, thanks for cycler!

Sometimes I am in doubt as to which mode of a cycle is currently active. How can I solve this? For example, two solutions I could imagine are

• make cycler display a symbol in the status bar corresponding to the current mode
• make cycler print out a message on transitioning between modes, saying what the new mode is

Sometimes cycled settings dont have visual cues of them being changed e.g. trim on save.
In this cases I think a notification would be the perfect solution to send some feedback, e.g.:

I guess I would add another field to the settings, like "sendNotificationLevel" which could be "none", "info", "warn" etc.
None would be the default and send no notification.

Regards!

I noticed this issue after examining the git output window, which opened in an editor.

After I was done examining it, I tried to close the editor window. It reopened immediately.

If I changed the selection of the output window, to tasks, for example, it would immediately open the tasks output in the editor view and any attempts to exit from the editor view would result in the editor view to reopen immediately.

Hey! Thanks for the nice extensions :)

So there is overrideWorkspaceSettings to ensure settings are switched even when the workspace defines them.

Most cases I prefer to edit ONLY workspace settings instead of user ones, so I would love a new flag like setWorkspaceSettings to only edit the toggled setting for the workspace.

This way the user global config remains unchanged and only the workspace reflects toggled changes. Less diff for the settings sync when I only want to locally switch a setting (commonly temporally).

The extension basically already knows how to do it, but right now when overrideWorkspaceSettings is set it only writes to the local workspace settings when the settings key already exists. For this feature we would simply need it to emplace it anyway.

Regards!

[background info, as the issue was at first that it's not working, but then i figured it out. see below. join me on this small adventure]

I'm trying to cycle colorCustomizations, but it seemed to not be working. The setting is

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#969896",
        "editorWarning.foreground": "#de935f40",
    },

and the cycling settings i've tried are

    "settings.cycle": [{
        "id": "warningSquiggles",
        "overrideWorkspaceSettings": true,
        "values": [{
            "workbench.colorCustomizations.editorWarning.foreground": "#de935f",
            "workbench.colorCustomizations.editorError.foreground": "#d13b2e",
        }, {
            "workbench.colorCustomizations.editorWarning.foreground": "#de935f20",
            "workbench.colorCustomizations.editorError.foreground": "#d13b2e20",
        }]
    }],

and (which worked!)

    "settings.cycle": [{
        "id": "warningSquiggles",
        "overrideWorkspaceSettings": true,
        "values": [{
            "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
                "editorWarning.foreground": "#de935f",
                "editorError.foreground": "#d13b2e"
            },
        }, {
            "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
                "editorWarning.foreground": "#de935f40",
                "editorError.foreground": "#d13b2e40"
            }
        }]
    }],

However, even though this works, if i were to have other colour customizations, they are clobbered and removed.

Thanks for the extension, it does the trick!

The setting editor.newFile.withCurrentLanguageMode doesn't exist. I think you can't add new settings to existing keys, i.e. editor? You have to use one for your own extension specifically?

Is there a way I can call the commands using the Command Palette? My use case is simple: I want to toggle the use of gitIgnore content to show / hide the file search results. Currently, I can call it via keyboard shortcut but It's more ideal for me to use the command palette.

    "settings.cycle": [
        {
            "id": "toggle_gitIgnore_search",
            "overrideWorkspaceSettings": false,
            "values": [
                {
                    "search.useIgnoreFiles": true,
                    "search.useParentIgnoreFiles": true,
                },
                {
                    "search.useIgnoreFiles": false,
                    "search.useParentIgnoreFiles": false,
                }
            ]
        }
    ],

If this feature is not present, can you share your thoughts? I'm thinking of contributing to enable this feature.

It would be great if settings cycler was published to Open VSX, for use in alternate installations (like code-server).

Documentation for the process is here:

My sortOrder command was working flawlessly, but now the command is not recognized. I've attached an image of the sortOrder command. When I try to run the shortcut I get "command 'cyclerSortOrder' not found." This is the same error appears if Setting Cycler is not installed, so I am guessing that somehow Setting Cycler isn't seeing this command. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would help. Thanks!

The extension isn't available in the marketplace.

With this plugin installed, the file tree seems to 'steal' focus from VS Code's git diff view

I'm not clear what counts as "any javascript object" when passing arguments:

What I would like is to use settings cycler to set up a case changing key, which would cycle the selection through lower case, title case, and upper case. If you typed like me, you'd understand why.

But I don't think I can put an editor.action as one of the values to the arguments. Would this be possible?

My settings cycler setup worked for a while, but then fails to work after a while and after lots of tweaking I can't get it to work again this time.
The error displayed in a popup is "command 'settings.cycle.miniView' not found".
The "settings.cycle.logLevel": "log" option doesn't seem to produce any additional output.

keybindings.json:

[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+;",
        "command": "settings.cycle.miniView",
    }
]

settings.json User Settings:

{
  "settings.cycle":
  [
    {
      "id": "miniView",
      "overrideWorkspaceSettings": false,
      "values":
      [
        { // full dev mode
          "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
          "editor.folding": true,
          "editor.glyphMargin": true,
          "editor.lineNumbers": "on",
          "scm.diffDecorations": "all",
          "scm.diffDecorationsGutterWidth": 3,
          "workbench.activityBar.visible": true,
          "window.menuBarVisibility": "default",
          "workbench.statusBar.visible": true,
          "workbench.editor.showTabs": true,
        },
        { // compact mode
          "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
          "editor.folding": false,
          "editor.glyphMargin": false,
          "editor.lineNumbers": "off",
          "scm.diffDecorations": "none",
          "scm.diffDecorationsGutterWidth": 1,
          "workbench.activityBar.visible": false,
          "window.menuBarVisibility": "toggle",
          "workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
          "workbench.editor.showTabs": false,
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
}

Does this extension have support; I'm having problems getting the toggle to work ?

My use case is wanting to cycle the settings specifically in a single folder, specifically the hidden files setting, like

{
  "files.exclude": {
    "src/**/*.d.ts": true,
    "src/**/*.js": true
  }
}

toggling that true vs false, to show/hide the files built alongside source .ts files.

I tried to use this plugin by adding the following to keybindings.json:

{
	"key": "F4",
	"command": "toggle",
	"when": "editorTextFocus",
	"args": {
		"id": "autoReveal", // must be unique
		"overrideWorkspaceSettings": true,
		"values": [ // Note: use the same settings in each values object
			{
			  "explorer.autoReveal": true
			},
			{
			  "explorer.autoReveal": false
			}
		]
	}
}

...but it doesn't work. When I press F4, I get a warning: "command 'toggle' not found".

I'm on Visual Studio Code 1.13.1. There are no error messages in the console (even with settings.cycle.logLevel set to "log").
