Commands Extension

One-click command runner for VS Code. Define commands in JSON or let the extension pick up your package.json scripts and .ps1 files automatically — then run anything from a sidebar or panel.

Features

Sidebar & Panel

Access your commands from the Activity Bar sidebar or open a dedicated panel via Ctrl+Shift+P > Commands: Open Panel.

Search & Filter

Filter commands instantly by typing in the search bar. Matches command names, command text, and group names. Groups auto-expand during search and restore their collapsed state when cleared.

Context Menu

Right-click any command to access:

Action	Availability
Add / Remove from favorites	All commands
Enable / Disable confirmation	All commands
Stop terminal	Commands with active terminal
Move to group	Custom commands only
Delete	Custom commands only

Run Confirmation

Enable confirmation for critical commands via the context menu. Protected commands show a lock icon indicator and require a modal confirmation dialog before running.

Collapsible Groups

Organize commands into named groups. Collapse/expand individual groups or all at once. Group state is preserved across sessions. Command count badge appears on hover.

Favorites

Star any command to pin it to the Favorites group at the top. Use the star button or right-click > "Add to favorites". Favorites persist across sessions.

Multiple Shell Types

Type	Runs as
terminal	Default shell (bash, zsh, cmd, ...)
node	node <command>
pwsh	pwsh -Command <command>

Add Commands from UI

Click + in the toolbar to add new commands without touching JSON. Pick an existing group or create a new one on the fly.

Terminal Management

• Re-running a command reuses its existing terminal
• Active terminals show a green indicator dot and a close button
• Stop terminals via the close button, context menu, or the Clear Terminals toolbar button

Auto-Detection

Source	Group	Auto-refresh
commands-list.json	Custom groups	Yes
package.json scripts	npm scripts	Yes
*.ps1 files	PowerShell scripts	Yes

Server Uploads

Per-project FTP / FTPS / SFTP / SSH-rsync upload targets in server-uploads.local.json, run with one click — live progress, cancel, mirror deploys, parallel transfers, skipUnchanged, badge-exact "Modified" uploads, and a Quick Upload for one-off files. Full reference → docs/server-uploads.md.

Marketplace Templates

The built-in Recommended section offers ready-made command sets:

Template	Description
React	Dev server, build, test, lint, format
Node.js Backend	Start, dev, build, test, DB migrate

Click + on a template to add the whole set, or expand it and add individual commands.

Theme-Aware

Uses VS Code CSS variables — looks native in any theme (light, dark, high contrast).
