Request: Show favorite commands from "EditWithShell: Run command"

Open rbolsius opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

When invoking EditWithShell: Run command from a new VS Code window, the command history is empty as expected, but it would be nice to be able to also see the favorite commands configured in editWithShell.favoriteCommands in this list. This way users could configure frequently used commands and not have to type them again each time VS Code is restarted. The quick commands feature is nice (e.g., EditWithShell: Run quick command 1), but it is hard to tell what command is going to be run.

Also, if the favorite commands were listed by EditWithShell: Run command, the user could select one of the pre-configured commands and edit the command before executing it, which is not possible with EditWithShell: Run quick command 1.

I'd love this also. Just to check, what does editWithShell.favoriteCommands do currently? I can't see any benefit to it over the quick commands?
