Browse Mode (Open file as read only)

[Sdthedawson]

It would be really cool if there was a feature similar to RDI that allowed you to open a file in Browse Mode ie. open it as read only.

@Sdthedawson Great question!

I am afraid we don't support readonly mode. This is a limitation of VS Code.

[Sdthedawson]

Thank you for the fast response!
Ill put in a request to VS Code in that case! Lol

@Sdthedawson Great question!

@worksofliam I guess that technically, we could have an option on QSYS/IFS filters to mark them as "read only filters" and prevent saving on members/files listed by these filters. That's not an actual read only mode but that the closest possible solution that comes to my mind 😅

[Sdthedawson]

That would work! Would there be anyway to apply that to the member open with CTLR-ALT-O as well?

[sebjulliand]

I think so 🙂
@worksofliam if you think it's worth a shot, I'll be happy to make that PR.

[worksofliam]

@sebjulliand go for it mate! I will be waiting curiously!

[sebjulliand]

@Sdthedawson , PR #1075 has been merged, you can expect browsing capabilities in the next release.

[Sdthedawson]

Thats awesome thank you so much!

How can i buy you a coffee?
