Visual Studio Code sets various context keys and specific values depending on what elements are visible and active in the VS Code UI. These contexts can be used to selectively enable or disable extension commands and UI elements, such as menus and views.

Menu items appear in views, actions, and right-click menus. It's important that the grouping of menus remain consistent. If your extension has actions that relate to files, place your actions in the File Explorer context menu (when appropriate).

What are tasks in VS Code?

Tasks in VS Code can be configured to run scripts and start processes so that many of these existing tools can be used from within VS Code without having to enter a command line or write new code. Workspace or folder specific tasks are configured from the tasks.json file in the .vscode folder for a workspace.

There are a few different extensions that you could potentially use depending on your issue tracking software. JetBrains integrates with a bunch of different trackers, which you probably already know about, but for the benefit of those that don't, you can read about them here.

When it comes to VSCode there doesn't appear to be anything which integrates so widely, so you may have to go down the route of looking for an extension that matches the issue tracking software you use. Here are a few:

  • Jira
  • GitHub
  • Trello

Personally I use GitHub with Zenhub so I can see a kanban board for my issues. You can add new issues from the board itself and when you make changes in VSCode these flow through into Zenhub automatically.
