SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

  • Use cases include adding new commands to a VS Code extension and exposing commands in custom views with proper grouping and visibility.

Quick Start

Create a new command by specifying a title and category, and, if it is a side-bar command, prefix the command name with an underscore and suffix with #sideBar, include an icon, and declare visibility conditions.
