Show ex commands in command palette? #4330

Open parkerault opened 4 years ago

parkerault commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use %s/search/replace/g all of the time, but the status bar font is so difficult to read I have to put my face right up to the monitor to see it. There's another vim front end called oni that opens something very similar in appearance to the command palette when you press :, and it's really great. I would absolutely love it if there were an option to do this, and my ageing eyes would be so grateful. It aslo seems particularly well suited as it can show the command history in an intuitive way as well.

We have limited support for this currently - you can use vim.showQuickpickCmdLine.

It doesn't have all the fancy features our regular command line has - happy to accept pull requests improving the support.

@J-Fields What are the fancy features it's missing? I might be interested in working on this.

J-Fields commented 3 years ago

History, completion, and binds like <C-u> and <C-w>. Haven't really dug into it but I'm not sure VSCode's API supports doing that sort of stuff in a quickpick. If you investigate let me know what you find!

Any updates on this? This feature is very good.
