vscode-fast-cli

For Windows only

Launching VSCode as a text editor is slow on Windows, but it doesn't need to be. When you git commit and it launches Code as your editor, you want the commit file to appear instantly.

This extension implements an fcode CLI command that opens workspace files in pre-existing VSCode windows faster than the default CLI. It only supports the --wait and --goto flags. For everything else you can use Code's built-in CLI.

Installation

Install the companion CLI command from npm:

npm install vscode-fast-cli

This puts the fcode command in your PATH.

Open a file in VSCode like so:

fcode --wait ./path/to/file
