Please, refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file and help this project grow :)

NOTES:

Important, if the buttons don't fit in the bar, they will not be shown (this is a current bug in VSCode support for the TouchBar and soon to be fixed).
If the bar disappeared, see the options (ctrl+, or cmd+,), filter by "nasc" and adjust the settings.

Usually, if your are not using the "Strip" group of buttons, you can fit 9 buttons on it. If you have the OS's Strip buttons enabled, you can fit 5 buttons.

If you would like to create more space by removing VSCode's default buttons you can do so with the keyboard.touchbar.ignored setting, adding some or all of the following to the ignored list:

• workbench.action.navigateBack
• workbench.action.navigateForward
• workbench.action.debug.start
• workbench.action.debug.run
• workbench.action.debug.restart
• workbench.action.debug.stepOver
• workbench.action.debug.stepInto
• workbench.action.debug.stepOut
• workbench.action.debug.stop
• workbench.action.debug.continue
• workbench.action.debug.pause See this pull request to vscode for more information on the implementation of this customisation. This is not a feature of nasc-vscode-mac-touchbar, but a feature of vscode, and so the above list may change at any time.
