Status Bar Sample

This is a sample extension that adds a status bar entry showing the current number of selected lines.

It is not intended as a product quality extension.

• Open a text editor
• Select some lines
• See the number of selected lines in the status bar

How it works, what it shows?

• The extension implements and registers a StatusBarItem to show the number of selected lines.
• The extension listens to events when the active text editor changes to keep the number of selected lines up to date.
• Registers a command via package.json that will show the number of selected lines as message

How to run locally

• npm run compile to start the compiler in watch mode
• open this folder in VS Code and press F5
