Commands and Views

Commands

deepseek-copilot.openChat

• Opens/focuses the DeepSeek Copilot sidebar.
• Should resolve the deepseek-copilot.chatView view.

Views

deepseek-copilot.chatView

• Main React webview.
• Contains Chat, History, and Settings.
• Uses HTML generated by WebviewProvider and assets from dist/webview.

Removed approaches

• The separate drop zone view was removed.
• Explorer copy/paste integration was not kept because VS Code does not expose copied Explorer URIs to webviews as normal clipboard data.
• Workspace context is currently entered through chat input path autocomplete after typing ./ or ../.

Icons

The public contribution icon lives at assets/DeepSeekIcon.svg.
