hotsettings's Issues

Is ProvideAutoLoad needed?

When the commands are being invoked, the package is being loaded and the handlers initialized. Does this package need autoloading at all?

Allow settings to stick

Issue raised by users on Marketplace: Allow settings to stick (persist) when opening new projects.

Users cite Lightbulb margin as one they want to stay OFF.

Add "Inheritance Margin" toggle to Editor Margin context menu

Since VS2022, the Inheritance Margin has been added to the editor window.
Suggestion from Gaspard Leon raised on Marketplace to add the option to toggle off the Inheritance Margin.

"installed VS 2022 - incensed by large margin on left of code... looked up online - not much good information, found this extension - Very nice, but still much larger margin then VS 2019... found issue a setting called "Show inheritance margin" which is nicely hidden in Text Editor > C# > Advanced at the bottom... this should be in your right-click context menu..."

Not full Working for Visual Studio 2015

Most of the commands are not available for Visual Studio 2015.

Hidden line numbers with Sticky lightbulb

Whenever I open a file, line numbers are hidden. When I check view->line numbers are enabled, so I have to disable them and enable them for line numbers to finally show up.

This behavior appeared after the much appreciated sticky lightbulb update.

Provide toolbar with hot buttons

User request from Daniel Chay for the Hot Settings toolbar:

The toolbar is what I wanted back. I turned off all the buttons I did not want to see and left the buttons I wanted quick access to toggle editor features.
The most common buttons I use are: Line Numbers and BreakPoint margin (off when coding, on when debugging). Sometimes I turn on the Navigation Bar for awhile then turn it back off. There are a couple of others I use less regularly.
I really like the new Full Screen button!

Not working the quick action menu when the lightbulb margin is hidden

When we disable the lightbulb margin, the quick action menu doesn't work. The only workaround is to highlight the underlined part with the mouse and then move the cursor next to it. When we enable the lightbulb, CTRL+. shortcut works.

Hot Settings 1.6.0
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Version 17.10.4

Please add support for VS2019

I tried the instructions at https://madskristensen.net/blog/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/
But this did not work -- install failed with:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.MissingReferencesException: This extension cannot be installed because the following references are missing
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor

GetLanguageServiceGuid NullReferenceException

VS2017 15.8.3
Hot Settings v 1.2.1

This NullReferenceException happened once, on start up of newly installed VSIX, for the first load of Visual Studio, while a large web solution was loading.

It has not been reported since.

Here is the Activity Log entry:
