Commands time out when terminal is focused

[sbungartz]

Whenever the built in terminal of VS Code has focus, commands issued using user.vscode are no longer working. Instead you get a time out in talon log.

For example:

1. Open a VS Code window and focus the built in terminal.
2. Say please
3. Nothing happens, except the following error showing up in talon log:

   talon.scripting.talon_script.TalonScriptError: 
   in script at /home/simon/.talon/user/knausj_talon/apps/vscode/vscode.talon:16:
   > user.vscode('workbench.action.showCommands')
   Exception: Timed out waiting for response

I am on

• Ubuntu 20.04
• talon beta v0.3.1-41-g7516 (41)
• knausj_talon 644d330be80bddfe7bfc314a15903185b3111cf7
• VS Code 1.72.2
• Command Server Plugin v0.8.2

Maybe this is a Linux thing, but I have no idea why focusing the terminal would stop command server from reading files...

Weird. This appears to be working fine on windows.

I have found a way to make this work. After adding command-server.runCommand to the list of commands whose keybindings will always be handled by VS Code (terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell), it works!

Otherwise the key combination seems to be handled by the terminal.

Do you know if there is a way for this plugin to insert itself into this setting automatically?

Yes that's the one; couldn't remember the setting name. Glad you were able to find it

Yes I believe there is a way to do that. Settings can contribute default values, and if that doesn't work they can actually just modify settings directly

had the same issue and it could be resolved with adding "command-server.runCommand" to terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell like @sbungartz
