* Add support for system-wide (OS global) keybindings Allow user keybindings in keybindings.json to be marked with "systemWide": true so they register as operating-system global shortcuts that fire even when the window is not focused. - Thread the systemWide flag through IUserFriendlyKeybinding, ResolvedKeybindingItem and KeybindingIO (read + serialize) - New GlobalKeybindingsMainService owns Electron's globalShortcut, reconciles per-window registrations, resolves conflicts deterministically and routes triggers through the existing vscode:runAction path - New renderer contribution syncs opted-in bindings to the main process, gated behind the experimental, off-by-default setting keyboard.enableSystemWideKeybindings with a one-time confirmation dialog - Enable the GlobalShortcutsPortal feature on Linux/Wayland Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Avoid focusing the routing window on system-wide keybinding trigger Force-focusing the routing (main) window before dispatching the command pulled it to the foreground even when the command opens/reveals a different window (e.g. openAgentsWindow reveals the agents window), producing a visible flicker. Remove the force-focus and let the invoked command control what is surfaced/focused, matching every other vscode:runAction sender. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add workbench.action.focusWindow to raise the current window Adds a generic command that brings the current window to the foreground and focuses it using FocusMode.Force (which works even when the application is not the active app). This lets users compose system-wide keybindings via runCommands to reveal the window before running a command that surfaces UI in it, e.g. [workbench.action.focusWindow, workbench.action.quickOpen]. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Address Copilot review: schema default, mnemonic comment, test grammar - keybindingService.ts: correct 'systemWide' schema default to false to match KeybindingIO parsing (defaults to false when absent/invalid) - systemWideKeybindings.contribution.ts: add '&& denotes a mnemonic' translator comment to the Enable button label - keybindingEditing.test.ts: fix test title grammar (a user) Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Always enable system-wide keybindings; drop the enablement setting Removes the experimental `keyboard.enableSystemWideKeybindings` setting so the feature is always active: any user keybinding with "systemWide": true is a candidate. The one-time confirmation dialog is retained and now serves as the opt-out - its Enable/Disable choice is persisted as a tri-state consent (unset -> ask, granted -> register, denied -> stay off and never re-ask). Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Make the first-run dialog an informational notice, not a permission prompt The system-wide keybindings feature is always on, so the first-run dialog no longer needs to grant/deny permission. Replace the Enable/Disable confirm dialog with a single-button informational notice ("I Understand") shown once before the first registration. Collapses the tri-state consent to a boolean acknowledged flag; the feature has no decline path, so there is no stuck off-state.

Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS")
The Repository
This repository ("Code - OSS") is where we (Microsoft) develop the Visual Studio Code product together with the community. Not only do we work on code and issues here, but we also publish our roadmap, monthly iteration plans, and our endgame plans. This source code is available to everyone under the standard MIT license.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository with Microsoft-specific customizations released under a traditional Microsoft product license.
Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, and understanding support along with lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tools.
Visual Studio Code is updated monthly with new features and bug fixes. You can download it for Windows, macOS, and Linux on Visual Studio Code's website. To get the latest releases every day, install the Insiders build.

See our wiki for a description of each of these channels and information on some other available community-driven channels.
Related Projects
Many of the core components and extensions to VS Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the node debug adapter and the mono debug adapter repositories are separate from each other. For a complete list, please visit the Related Projects page on our wiki.
Bundled Extensions
VS Code includes a set of built-in extensions located in the extensions folder, including grammars and snippets for many languages. Extensions that provide rich language support (inline suggestions, Go to Definition) for a language have the suffix language-features. For example, the json extension provides coloring for JSON and the json-language-features extension provides rich language support for JSON.
Development Container
This repository includes a Visual Studio Code Dev Containers / GitHub Codespaces development container.
-
For Dev Containers, use the Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... command which creates a Docker volume for better disk I/O on macOS and Windows.
- If you already have VS Code and Docker installed, you can also click here to get started. This will cause VS Code to automatically install the Dev Containers extension if needed, clone the source code into a container volume, and spin up a dev container for use.
-
For Codespaces, install the GitHub Codespaces extension in VS Code, and use the Codespaces: Create New Codespace command.
Docker / the Codespace should have at least 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) to run a full build. See the development container README for more information.
