To answer my own question:

Adding the following code to the file startup.jl in ~/.julia/config makes it possible to plot in a separate window with PyPlot from the build-in repl:

```julia
atreplinit() do REPL
    @async begin
        sleep(0.1)
        try
            @eval Base.Multimedia.popdisplay()
        catch err
            warn("Could not pop the multimedia display.")
        end
    end
end

```

Thanks!

We should probably make that easier, and add say `enableplotpane` and `disableplotpane` or something like that… [https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vscode/issues/655](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vscode/issues/655)

I’ve be been an atom user for a while now but want to try vscode. (Primarily because if the excellent latex-Workshop.)

At first glance I am missing In vscode-Code Julia the possibility to evaluate into a module. My understanding is that it always evaluated into the REPL? Is the wirkflow then simply based inn Revise?

We did have an option to eval into a module at some point. I think that should still work? There should be a command to change the module of the REPL, I think…

Eval-in-module was removed in favour of using Revise for the last release. Given time constraints it seems sensible to use a well engineered and maintained package than our own (rather hacky) approach (though the two approaches may not provide exactly the same functionality).

My use case: Julia on WSL + VS Code on Windows  
It seems `julia.executablePath` could not be set.  
I was wondering if you provide additional way to point to the julia executable `wsl julia`.  
Thanks!  
p.s. my current workaround setting is as follows.

```julia
{
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe",
    "terminal.external.windowsExec": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe",
    "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["julia"]
}

```

However I was wondering if `julia.executable` be provided beside `julia.executablePath`. That is, instead of specify the path is it possible to specify the command?

I have only used Juno so far. Now, I downloaded VS Code + the Julia extension. It looks beautiful. Great work! I open a jl file, select the lines to be run and then press CTRL + Enter. As a result, the selected lines are copied to the REPL and after that they are executed. Is this the way the VS Code works or it is just a bug? Personally, I don’t find useful to have the code copied to the REPL. I think that would be a problem if the code is long. Is there any other way to run the jl file without the selected lines being copied to the REPL? I am thinking about something like the run file arrow of Juno.

‘Execue File’ normally bound to F5, though if the file is dirty (has unsaved edits) it will still paste it to the REPL

@ZacLN Thanks. Yes, that is was I found in many blogs. However, in the VS Code I have all F5 combinations go to the debug modes. Then, the command palette opens asking for “Select Environment.” I don’t understand how to follow from there.

I can confirm this. Problems solved after running this procedure. Thanks Phelipe.

Excellent work with v0.11!

Question: is it possible to enable Unicode character completion of LaTeX commands _in markdown files_? (It works in .jl files, just not in the .md context)

[This might be unrelated to the Julia extension, I’m not sure, but it would be great if it could be generalised a bit to help with markdown completion too]

EDIT: Nevermind, I just found out about the Unicode Latex extension ([Unicode Latex - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=oijaz.unicode-latex))

I think our completion should work in \*.jmd files!

I get “error server not running” and the linter doesn’t seem to work?

Do I need to install anything from the Julia side to get the extension to work?

Can you start a REPL?
