VSCode | New Window select language

new untitled file message

By mistake I pressed on "don't show this again". How can I make vscode show that option again?

Solution

  • This was broken in vscode v1.90, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214671 where I pointed out the new setting:

    // Controls if the empty editor text hint should be visible in the editor. "workbench.editor.empty.hint": "text",

    Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint

    also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214679

    But it has been fixed and is working in the latest Insiders Build and should be out in v1.91 in early July 2023.

    There is a setting that enables/disables that message:

    Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint

    By selecting "Don't show again" you disabled that setting (setting it to hidden).
    To get the message back, reenable it - set it to text.
