Is this extension on OpenVSX?

[Minilo-ng]

Thanks for your reply. I searched the extension in OpenVSX but not found. But what confused me is why the code-server not fetch extensions from vsc marketplace.

Ah, that explains this. We can't do anything then so I'm going to close this. You'll need to ask the extension author to publish on OpenVSX. As for using VSC marketplace, you can read this: https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/FAQ#why-cant-code-server-use-microsofts-extension-marketplace
