vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider -> https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/4048

[akosyakov]

Whoever will do it, please check how each command is implemented in VS Code. Sometimes it is just calling another command which can be already available via Monaco. In this case we don't need to expose any internal Monaco API or copy code from VS Code, but just use our command registry and execute the very same command.

[tsmaeder]

I guess the commands should be registered here: https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/blob/master/packages/plugin-ext-vscode/src/browser/plugin-vscode-commands-contribution.ts#L35

I'm not finding anymore the issue but I'm pretty sure to have read that @svenefftinge wanted to align all the names of commands to match VS Code one (I suppose all the names that are not prefixed by vscode.)

here is another list as well: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_navigation

so I would suppose vscode. commands should go as @tsmaeder said but for the others it should either rename original name (breaking change..) or currently add the alias but in theia command contribution, not only in vscode.

👍

maybe we keep this issue as an epic and open issues per a shortcut group to implement them separately and track progress? for the debug group: https://github.com/theia-ide/theia/issues/4204

[vinokurig]

It would be great to have next commands that are needed for the VsCode Emacs Keymap extension:

• [x] lineBreakInsert - Insert Enter
• [x] workbench.action.openRecent - Open recent command #7812
• [ ] workbench.action.splitEditorDown - Split editor horizontal
• [ ] workbench.action.splitEditorRight - Split editor vertical
• [ ] workbench.action.toggleEditorGroupLayout - Toggle split layout (vertical to horizontal)
• [ ] workbench.action.navigateEditorGroups - Focus other split editor
• [ ] workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility - Toggle sidebar visibility
• [ ] workbench.action.toggleZenMode - Toggle Zen mode

see https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/6625

[vinokurig]

• [ ] editor.action.reindentselectedlines

Needed for the VsCode Vim extension see: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/6687

[tomer-epstein]

Is there a plan to imlement 'vscode.openFolder' soon?

• [x] vscode.openFolder - Open a folder or workspace in the current window or new window depending on the newWindow argument.

[akosyakov]

@tomer-epstein PRs are welcomed, it should not be hard to implement, there is WorkspaceService .open API which accepts an URI of a folder to open and a second options with an argument whether a window should be preserved. One has to add a new command in PluginVscodeCommandsContribution.

[tavoda]

After installing VSCode VIM plugin from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim, I'm getting following error after pressing CTRL+F:

TaskQueue: Error running task. Failed to handle key=. Command with id 'editorScroll' is not registered.. for VSCode VIM extension

Is editorScroll still not implemented?

[akosyakov]

@tavoda It should be, we receive directly from Monaco editor. Do you use master? It would be worth to file a separate issue.

[akosyakov]

Let's keep this issue as a live document to track missed commands coverage. One can file individual issues as well, but please update the first comment of this issue.
