Status Bar to short-cuts menu bar ? #2

Closed SheepDomination closed 5 years ago

SheepDomination commented 6 years ago

Adding the contents of the status bar to the short-cuts menu bar, if; like me, the user has the status bar hidden in the settings ? It may seem as a contradiction but the status bar takes up screen estate, the short-cuts menu bar is visible as long as the tabs are visible, no extra screen estate occupied.

GorvGoyl commented 6 years ago

Are you referring to the status bar which is in bottom? if yes, there are many buttons and showing all those buttons in the tabs menu will occupy much of space and hence, less file tabs will be visible. I wanted to add only the most useful commands to the tab menu so that it doesn't cover much of space in tabs menu. What I can do is to let users add their own commands to the shortcut menu bar. But, this seems a little tricky to achieve, I'll find a way if it's possible.

That would be really great!

Any update ? Also the ability to add the Activity bar would be a nice addition ;-)

GorvGoyl commented 5 years ago

thanks for reminder.. lot of other work came in. Earlier it was not possible to dynamically change buttons but I noticed there have been some changes in vscode extension development and there might be a way to achieve it. If possible I'll implement it this month.

@JerryGoyal Thanks, I look forward to it ;)

GorvGoyl commented 5 years ago

I updated the extension now user can enable/disable the buttons they want from extension settings. However users still cant create new buttons so they need to request to create it. I created 2 to toggle activity bar & terminal.

also note that menu bar can only have buttons and can not show any kind of status like status bar (afaik)

SheepDomination commented 5 years ago

@JerryGoyal Is it possible to have the icons in the activity bar within the activity bar ? The status bar in the activity bar would be a good option.

GorvGoyl commented 5 years ago

status bar is quite below for handy icons and it usually contain information about the file opened. Adding custom commands to status bar/activity bar is possible but it would be overkill in my opinion. If you want to customize it anyway there's an extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Gruntfuggly.activitusbar
