Detect if session read-only file status changed

[ArturoDent]

[cross-posted from Slack]

Is there a way to know if a user has changed the session read-only status of a file? I can register the read-only commands and that works.

But that doesn't catch when the user attempts to type in a locked file, and clicks on the pop-up link, to set that file to writeable. That link isn't using any of the three read-only commands. So I am looking for another way to know either in general when the user changes the session read-only status via command or especially when they do so by clicking the pop-up link (which identifies one of the commands on hover but that command isn't actually used by vscode).

I wish there was an onDidChangeReadOnlyStatus event listener...

There is no such listener. I think this is a fair feature request, and you can file one here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues
