If you have many launch configurations in your VS Code project, it becomes hard to find the ones you use frequently. VS Code's built-in debug dropdown doesn't help with this - it just shows them all in the order they appear in launch.json.
This extension provides automatic usage tracking - the configurations you use most often automatically appear at the top of the list.
- Every time you run a configuration, the extension tracks it
- Configurations automatically sort by usage count (most used first)
- You see usage counts in the tree view (e.g., "5x" means used 5 times)
- Frequently used configs naturally float to the top
- Quick Run (
Ctrl+Alt+QorCmd+Alt+Q): Shows all configurations with usage info - Tree View: Browse configurations in Explorer sidebar, sorted by usage
- Usage Indicators: See how many times you've used each configuration
- Projects with many configurations - find your important ones quickly
- Teams - see which configurations are actually used vs. abandoned
- Long-running projects - configurations you use regularly stay accessible
- No pinning, favoriting, or categorization needed
- Just use your configurations normally
- The extension learns your patterns automatically
- Clean, simple interface focused on what you actually need
This approach solves your original problem (frequently used configs on top) without the complexity of manual organization systems.
