Features

Save All Without Format

Saves all dirty files without running save participants (formatters, organizers, etc.).

  • Command: File: Save All Without Format
  • Command ID: vscode-extended-actions.saveAllWithoutFormat

This is useful when you want to save all files quickly without triggering automatic formatting.

Create and Open Folder

Creates a new folder and opens it in VS Code.

  • Command: File: Create and Open New Folder
  • Command ID: vscode-extended-actions.createAndOpenFolder

This command allows you to quickly create a new folder and open it in the current VS Code window.

The New project... item in File: Open Project... follows the same shortcuts as existing projects: press Enter to open the created project in the current window, or Cmd+Enter on macOS / Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux to open it in a new window.

Usage

  1. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux)
  2. Type "Save All Without Format" or "Create and Open New Folder"
  3. Press Enter

You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to this command in your keybindings.json:

{
  "key": "cmd+k s",
  "command": "vscode-extended-actions.saveAllWithoutFormat"
}
