VSCode | New Window select language

Question

By mistake I pressed on "don't show this again". How can I make vscode show that option again?

Answer 1

This was broken in vscode v1.90, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214671 where I pointed out the new setting:

// Controls if the empty editor text hint should be visible in the editor. "workbench.editor.empty.hint": "text",

Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint

also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214679

But it has been fixed and is working in the latest Insiders Build and should be out in v1.91 in early July 2023.

There is a setting that enables/disables that message:

Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint

By selecting "Don't show again" you disabled that setting (setting it to hidden).
To get the message back, reenable it - set it to text.
