Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Several people have requested the equivalent of the MATLAB Desktop's Workspace browser. For example:

Thanks for the feedback! This is definitely something we will consider including in a future release.

I'd be really excited to see this too! While we wait for an official implementation, here's a workaround.

  1. Use the desktop function in the command terminal to open up MATLAB.
  2. Change the layout so that only the workspace is showing, then rearrange it to fit your monitor.
  3. Using Windows PowerToys' Always on Top feature, you can pin the workspace so that it stays open in vs code, like in the picture below. image

Ideally, the workspace browser would be in a dropdown menu similar to "Outline" and "Timeline." Thanks again for developing this extension!

Is there any update related to the display of workspace variables? I would also be excited to have it :)
