Feature Request: CLI option to suppress extension recommendations prompt

Open shchun opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

I'd like to run VS Code with --disable-extensions and prevent the extension recommendation banner from appearing.

Use Case

I use code --disable-extensions for clean debugging, but the popup asking to enable/install extensions is distracting. A CLI flag like --ignore-recommendations would solve this.

For this use case, I want to use vscode as quick edit for single file with some code friendly feature like syntax highlighting, I am happy with launching time if I disable extension with --disable-extensions

Since I show my intent as minimal viewer/editor by --disable-extensions option, you can disable extension recommendation or you can introduce new option like --ignore-recommendations

Thanks!
