Description

@d-akara

I would like to build an extensions to provide many enhancements to a command palette interface.

The capabilities I would like to provide to VSCode can be viewed at Commander, a next-gen command palette for Eclipse

Some initial thoughts on required API capabilities:

  • Capture keyboard input events from input field and handle in extension
  • Change list content on handling of input events
  • Add columns to list content
  • Handle some level of rendering of content
    • Provide indication of markers to be applied on a row
    • Provide character indices or information for highlighting matched characters
