Reconnect to remote server without reloading the whole screen and share a single ssh connection when working on multiple projects in the same machine

Open AllanOricil opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I really think that the current UX is horrible for people who work with many repositories through ssh. Everyday when I stop working, all of my connections are lost and in the next day I have to click on this "Reload Window" button so many times.

And the worst problem is that the extension reloads VScode entirely instead of just reopening the connection.

I want to reconnect to all my repos without clicking on multipe "Reload Window" buttons (one for each project that was open when the connection was lost). If all of my projects are on the same remote machine, one click to reopen the connection to this machine would provide a much better UX.

I would also like to request a different approach to what happens when I click on the "Reload Window" button. Please, can't you make it just reload the connection instead of restarting the entire VSCode instance?

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that the many reload buttons are less than ideal. Changing the reconnection behavior will require quite a bit of work in core so I'll make this a feature request for now

@tanhakabir could u share this feature with the community. I'm pretty sure this should be priority. The more you guys improve vscode, the harder it will be to implement this. It is extremely umpleasant to click 10x the same button in 10 different vscode instances.
