Didact Settings

The Didact Extension has several configurable settings available. To access the settings, go to (File->Preferences->Settings) and type Didact.

• To stop automatically recreating the default Didact Tutorials to the view at workspace startup (on by default), set the Didact: Auto Add Default Tutorials setting to unchecked.
• To change the default Didact file, set the Didact: Default Url. This can be any valid URL to a Didact formatted Markdown file, including http://, https://, or file:// URLs.
• To turn on generic Didact completion notifications (off by default), set the Didact: Disable Notifications checkbox. If unchecked, additional notifications will occur when Didact actions are activated in the IDE.
• To have Didact open a window with the default Didact file on startup, set the Didact: Open Default Tutorial At Startup checkbox.

The vscode.didact.copyTextToCLI command (accessible via the default keyboard shorcut Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+T) has two customizations available:

• By default, the Didact link generated commits the change, executing it in the VS Code terminal. To simply add the text to the terminal without executing it, uncheck the Didact>Edit:Cli Link LF checkbox.
• By default, the Didact link generated uses the label (^ Execute), but you can change that by updating the Didact>Edit: Cli Link Text field. Note that this field can also use Emojis, so you can use characters such as the Play button (▶️).
