Discrepancies between repo and official product icon reference

[mike-lischke]

I'm not sure if this a documentation problem, a real bug or something I misunderstand, but here we go.

When I compare the list of icons in this repository, which is apparently what is used by vscode, I would expect that it corresponds to the product icon reference, which however is not the case. Fore example I don't see any of the find-* icons mentioned in the reference.

And here's a side question, but also related: does the monaco-editor use exactly the same icons or just a subset? For example, I get no output for codicon-output, even though this icon is both, in this repo and mentioned in the icon reference.

So the list on the product icon reference page has a "codicon id" column, this is the id that is used in this repo:

So the find-* icons, the second column is the id:

Does that help? And for the monaco editor, they are using the same icons however I'm not sure how often the editor gets updated with the latest.

OK, thanks, that explains the name differences. But the other question still stands: does monaco-editor use the same set of codicons? If so, why is nothing shown for the output codicon? Looking in the HTML code I see it doesn't add the ::before pseudo node for that, which it does for other codicons.

Since monaco-editor is created from vscode code, I hope this is a valid question here.

Yes, codicons are part of the monaco editor since you see them in the suggest widget. You might want to post in https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor and cc me about it there and show an example of how you're referencing the icons.

See first item in the list:

Will close this issue as I believe your question was answered, please free to create a new issue here or in the monaco-editor repo for any new questions/issues. Thanks!
