Calva When Clause Contexts#

When clause contexts is a powerful customization mechanism in VS Code. The most common use for end users is with keyboard shortcut bindings. Extensions can provide their own. The following contexts are available with Calva:

  • calva:replHistoryCommandsActive: true when the cursor is in the Output/REPL window at the top level after the last prompt
  • calva:replWindowSubmitOnEnter: true when the cursor is adjacent after the last top level form in the Output/REPL window
  • calva:cursorInString: true when the cursor/caret is in a string or a regexp
