I recommend the Chalice icon theme. Previously I used another theme but had a bunch of overrides specifically to remove product logos with the language icon. For example I don't want the eslint logo for

GitHub Copilot Labs seems to be popular on twitter https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot-labs |
|
@misolori it is still in closed preview. So we might feature it some time in the future. But good suggestion. |
|
We updated featured extensions last week. If you have more ideas for extensions please comment here, thank you!

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Iterative.dvc (Data Version Control for VS Code) is my recommendation! The extension is coming out of preview shortly and helps solve the following problems:
The Iterative & DVC teams have done a lot of work to garner community support around their open-source tooling. Having a VS Code extensions and promoting it as the de-facto tool to use with DVC will encourage more of the data science community to shift to our editor and use our native tooling (i.e., Notebooks, Python language support). |

Burke mentioned inline fold which looks really cool https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=moalamri.inline-fold
|
It cannot be helped. I want to promote my extensions: Allows running multiple commands in sequence / with arguments from 1) Tree View 2) Quick Pick 3) Status Bar. Documents built-in VSCode commands with arguments in README & contributes a few useful commands like "Toggle Setting". Creating and editing multi-line snippets in VSCode is not great. This extension uses markdown file as main snippets file which makes it easier to write, edit, read snippets & provides autocomplete for "scope" (languageId) & snippet variables $TM_SELECTED_TEXT. From other authors: Uses current theme colors to highlight code blocks in markdown preview. |
|
@usernamehw this is nifty. I'm assuming you support setting up keybindings to run one of these sequence commands, I didn't see it in the README though. Might also be a good addition to the tree view, right click to add a keybinding which sends you to keybindings.json? |
|
Yep. It registers all commands and the Tree View context menu has an item that opens Keybindings GUI:
|
|
@usernamehw nice, I see it now in the status bar gif. Might be worth adding it's own section to the README for assigning keybindings? |

Hi folks, I'd like to submit a new extension that we developed to improve API Development experience of VS Code users. So, far the response from the dev community has been amazing 3K+ installs and 5K+ downloads, with 12 five-star ratings.
🎥 Here's a quick video showcasing the extension. rapidapi-client-vscode.mp4🆓 It's a completely free (offers cloud sync) I shared more on this Twitter thread and am happy to answer any questions y'all may have. Looking forward! |
|
@ahmadawais just a reminder of the guidelines in the original issue:
|
|
@misolori I saw that, but I was referred to this issue by the official VS Code Twitter account. So, I figured it's worth a shot. |
|
This may have been featured before, but throwing it out there again if we need another one because of how responsive the author has been: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rangav.vscode-thunder-client |
|
You should feature Codeium! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=codeium.codeium&ssr=false#overview We're an AI code completion + codebase-aware chat tool that's 100% free. Main features:
We have tens of thousands of users using the product and rave reviews on the marketplace. |
|
@fortenforge thanks for letting us know but this extension has already been featured the previous month. |
|
@isidorn I believe you featured Codium in the previous month which is different from the extension I suggested—Codeium (with an e). It's confusing, I know, but both extensions involve AI assistance and are pretty popular. However, Codeium offers inline code completion and chat while Codium allows you to generate tests. |
|
Thank you for keeping those recommendations rolling in! We took a snapshot at the end of July to feature these below extensions and will remember the newer suggestions for future updates. Planning to refresh again around early Sept. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.dotnet-maui |
|
@mxsdev I'm sure I'm missing something, but how is mxsdev.typescript-explorer different than the built-in Outline view in VS Code? |
|
At first glance it might appear like it, however, the built-in Outline view is a bit of a least common denominator of all "AST", no matter whether it's XML, Typescript, Golang, or Java. Typescript Explorer goes super deep in the Typescript type definitions. It's basically like as if the built-in outline view was only built for Typescript and its type system. |
|
@seaniyer @isidorn Would it be possible for you to feature Continue after the next refresh? Developers love it because it is open source and highly customizable (e.g. you can use it with Azure OpenAI Service, Code Llama, or any other LLM provider / model of your choice). Thanks! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue |
|
@TyDunn Thanks for the suggestion. |
@TyDunn The icon in place for Continue doesn't seem to work well in Featured. Consider updating it. |
|
@seaniyer is there any particular reason you don't want to feature Codeium? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Codeium.codeium |
|
@seaniyer we are on it! thank you :) |
|
@fortenforge we already featured it two months ago. |
|
May I request you to feature Avalonia extension for VS Code please? The extension allow Avalonia developer to create a new project, get auto complete for XAML and UI previews. |
|
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=phind.phind |
|
The Pieces for Developers extension would be a great feature! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MeshIntelligentTechnologiesInc.pieces-vscode We are a free “tool-between-tools”, providing an integrated storage agent that you can leverage to store useful code snippets and other materials throughout your workflow in the IDE, browser, and other tools. We also have an AI copilot that helps you ask questions about your repositories and generate personalized code. You can set custom context for your conversations and leverage local LLMs like Llama 2 for air-gapped security. |
|
We have updated the features list. Thanks all for help. @caleb-at-pieces we can feature your extension next time we update the list in January.

@seaniyer @isidorn I would like to ask if you can feature : KeyRunner - The Zero trust API Client https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=KeyRunner.keyrunner In the growing threat landscape of client_secrets, API keys and sensitive data being pushed to third-party cloud services unintentionally and the requirement of account creations to execute basic API requests , we built this free VS Code extension to retain the data locally on users machine and enhancing security by encrypting sensitive information by using VS Code secret store keys. It also have a unique feature of chaining the requests with drag and connect to analyze sequence of flows & API requests. We also made sure that any sensitive info stays masked on the UI – so it's safe even when users are sharing the screen. Thanks for the consideration ! |

Great extension loved by the VS Code team Great pdf support |

We updated the featured list last week.

|
@isidorn we just launched the AIConfig Editor, which is a generative AI prompt editor for VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lastmile-ai.vscode-aiconfig. Would love to have it featured in the VSCode Extensions marketplace! (It's currently trending) 
|
|
Could we get a similar "Featured" thread, but for the Visual Studio extensions? Featured section for VS Code in the Marketplace is vibrant and welcoming. There are new plugins there constantly, but Featured section of Visual Studio Marketplace is "blocked" for years with the same plugins. |
JFYI @maiak |
|
I would like to show you Keyboard Cursors and Selections: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=srares13.kcs It allows you to create cursors and selections in arbitrary places with the keyboard. In a nutshell, this is how it's done:Place inactive cursors and selections And activate them on demand But you can see more of its capabilities by following the provided link from above. |
|
Hi folks, We are planning to refresh the featured extensions soon. Let us know if there are any other suggestions, |
|
would be aweseom to see blackbox.ai these guys just keep adding new features tailored for developers every week and haven't seen any other beating their code accuracy. And it's free. And has access to real time news and updates. |
|
@mcflemming007 thanks for the suggestion, but we have already featured blackkox in the past, as seen in this comment #141472 (comment) |
and others
The VS Marketplace has 6 featured extensions which are shown prominently on the MP site. We try to update this list every 1-2 months and we aim to showcase some new and interesting extensions.
So my ask for the community is to share your suggestions on what extension should be featured. Please provide a short reason why you think the extension is interesting.
Keep in mind the following:
