Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Workaround: Manually type the full command + arguments (e.g. /Notion:find grooming) instead of using the autocomplete list.

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

When selecting a slash command (e.g. /Notion:find) from the autocomplete list in the VS Code extension, the command is submitted immediately with no opportunity to append arguments.

Expected behavior: After selecting a slash command from the list, the input field should remain active with the command text inserted, allowing the user to type arguments before submitting.

Workaround: Manually type the full command + arguments (e.g. /Notion:find grooming) instead of using the autocomplete list.

Environment:

  • VS Code extension
  • OS: Linux

extent analysis

TL;DR

Modify the VS Code extension to prevent immediate submission of slash commands when selected from the autocomplete list, allowing users to append arguments.

Guidance

  • Investigate the extension's autocomplete handling to identify why the command is being submitted immediately upon selection.
  • Verify if the issue is specific to the Linux OS or if it occurs across multiple platforms.
  • Check the extension's code for any event listeners or handlers that may be triggering the submission.
  • Consider adding a delay or a confirmation step after selecting a command from the autocomplete list to allow users to append arguments.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue may be related to the extension's implementation of the autocomplete feature, and resolving it may require modifications to the extension's code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Manually type the full command + arguments until the extension is updated to fix the issue, as this allows users to append arguments as needed.
