VS Code Web: quick link to the Extensions panel
Adds a floating button that fires Ctrl+Shift+X and opens the Extensions panel (works on github.dev too).
Code to copy
/* Floating quick-link to the Extensions panel (works on github.dev too) */
(function () {
if (document.getElementById('vsc-ext-link')) return;
const btn = document.createElement('button');
btn.id = 'vsc-ext-link';
btn.textContent = 'Extensions';
Object.assign(btn.style, {
position: 'fixed', right: '16px', bottom: '16px', zIndex: 99999,
padding: '8px 14px', background: '#1f6feb', color: '#fff',
border: 'none', borderRadius: '999px', boxShadow: '0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)',
cursor: 'pointer', fontFamily: 'system-ui, sans-serif', fontSize: '12px'
});
btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
const target = document.querySelector('.monaco-editor textarea.inputarea') || document.body;
target.focus();
target.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {
key: 'X', code: 'KeyX', ctrlKey: true, shiftKey: true,
bubbles: true, cancelable: true
}));
});
document.body.appendChild(btn);
})();How to use this example
- Copy the code with the button above.
- Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
- Add a new rule matching that page.
- Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.
