[Feature request]: Group the extensions to be enabled or disabled together #158145

Closed 2catycm closed 2 years ago

Type: Feature Request

Dear vscode dev team: I am writing to suggest you to add a feature that I consider to be vital. I wish to group the extensions that I installed into different catagories in order to enable or disable them together. For instance, I can add a label to the extension about artificial intelligense, making Python related extensions and may be csv, matlab, latex extensions on or off together when I operate on AI category. This feature is important because too many extensions running together not only makes VSCode unfluent and slow, but also makes conflicts between extensions happen. For example, if I opened VSCode in order to just to write some C++ code, I would like neither the ros plugin nor java plugin to be on and scanning paths,enviroments and jumpping out with so many annoying windows or ballons, which is definitely a diaster on not only VSCode performance but also my development progress. As we know, IntelliJ IDEs are separated into CLion for C++, IDEA for Java, Pycharm for Python etc. I think the problem about excess plugins on their IDEs is not so severe as VScode because of the separation between languages, but that isn't a final solution. I think the final solution is to allow user to label the extensions installed by themselves as I 've mentioned. What do you think about this? Looking forward to your reply. Yours 2catycm

If you are willing to install Insiders edition alongside the regular version of VS Code (aka Stable) you can try out Settings Profiles. See also #116740

edit: after installing Insiders you need to set "workbench.experimental.settingsProfiles.enabled": true
