I wish that VS Code had a TUI (Text User Interface) with mouse support like mc to run it in a SSH console.
Vim, emacs or nano are no alternatives for me as I need to browse large C/C++ legacy codebases and some newer JS. And I rely much on CTRL+mouseclick.
Does anyone know a VS Code extension to use it in a shell instead of the desktop GUI?
- emacs28 4y agoJust out of curiosity, what does ctrl+mouseclick do in VSCode? I can almost guarantee there's a way to do it in Emacs :) If it has to do with looking up references, there's lsp-mode in emacs which gives it IDE capabilities for many languages.
- DaOne256 4y agoIt's "go to definition", I think CTRL-mouseclick is a common setting in most modern IDEs. In Eclipse it's F3 if I remember. VS Code was the only editor or IDE I found for Linux that can be used to browse like that without much configuration. CodeLite worked sometimes but not reliably. I can just type "code ." in my src folder and can start browsing it. Most IDEs need to setup some kind of indexing. VS Code worked out of the box.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoTry out the micro code editor, it has more generic/windows-like key conventions (i.e. Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V copy and paste), full mouse support, etc: https://micro-editor.github.io/ https://micro-editor.github.io/ It doesn't support everything VS code can do (notably it doesn't have LSP support), but it could be more accessible to you than vim or emacs.
- DaOne256 4y agoThx, I will definitely try it out when I'm back at my work PC.
