4 min readUpdated 30 Sept 2026
Everything KODEO for VS Code can do, as it appears in the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / ⌘⇧P). Install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace — or, for Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium, from Open VSX — by searching for KODEO (publisher kodeohq).
Sign in
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| KODEO: Sign In | Approve in your browser (passkey or two-factor as usual). The code comes back through the extension’s own link and works once. |
| KODEO: Sign In with a Code | For machines without a browser: approve a short code at kodeo.website/device. |
| KODEO: Use My kodeo CLI Sign-In | A new VS Code sign-in from your signed-in kodeo CLI — nothing is copied. Desktop only. |
| KODEO: Sign Out | Ends this editor’s sign-in on KODEO too. |
Projects
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| KODEO: Open Project… | Pick a project (or paste acme/storefront:src/app.ts:42): your linked folder if this computer has one, otherwise straight from KODEO. |
| KODEO: Clone Project into a Folder… | Real files that stay in sync — the same folder kodeo clone makes. Desktop only. |
| KODEO: Sync Linked Folder Now | Pull teammates’ changes and send yours, right now. |
| KODEO: Go to File… (Ctrl+P (kodeo://)) | Every file in the project — also ⌘P / Ctrl+P in a kodeo:// window. |
| KODEO: Search in Project… (Ctrl+Shift+F (kodeo://)) | KODEO’s own project search, results opening at the line — also ⌘⇧F / Ctrl+Shift+F in a kodeo:// window. |
| KODEO: Open in Browser | This file and line in KODEO’s web editor. |
| KODEO: Copy Link to This Line | A link teammates can open in the browser or VS Code. |
| KODEO: Create Checkpoint | A named checkpoint of this file — the same history as the web editor. |
| KODEO: Checkpoints… | List, and restore one (for everyone, undoable). |
| KODEO: Run in KODEO | Opens the project’s Run panel in the browser — the shared runtime teammates can watch. |
In the room
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| KODEO: Follow a Teammate… | Follow their file, cursor and scrolling. Typing, scrolling or Esc stops. |
| KODEO: Stop Following (Esc) | Stop following. |
| KODEO: Bring Everyone Here | Send the room to your line, with a note. |
| KODEO: Undo My Last Edit (Ctrl+Z / ⌘Z) | Undo in a live file — only your own edits, never a teammate’s. |
| KODEO: Redo My Last Edit (Ctrl+Shift+Z / ⌘⇧Z) | Redo your own edit. |
| KODEO: Ask Assist | KODEO Assist in your browser, told which editor you’re in and whether you’re live — never your code. |
| KODEO: Show KODEO Status | Everything you can do from here (also the status bar item). |
| KODEO: Refresh | Reload the project’s files, Git state and notifications. |
| KODEO: Mark All as Read | Your KODEO notifications, all read. |
Source Control (the project’s Git)
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| KODEO Git: Commit | Commit your staged changes — with co-authors from the room. Live files are settled first, so the commit holds what’s on screen. |
| KODEO Git: Commit & Push | Commit, then push to GitHub (on KODEO’s server). |
| KODEO Git: Commit (Amend) | Amend the last commit — refused once it’s pushed. |
| KODEO Git: Stage All Changes | Your staging is yours — teammates stage their own. |
| KODEO Git: Unstage All Changes | Unstage everything you staged. |
| KODEO Git: Switch Branch… | Switches the project for everyone; your uncommitted changes are parked and come back. |
| KODEO Git: Create Branch… | A new branch, optionally switching to it. |
| KODEO Git: Pull | From GitHub, merged on KODEO’s server. |
| KODEO Git: Push | To GitHub — your GitHub token never reaches VS Code. |
| KODEO Git: Fetch | What’s new on GitHub. |
| KODEO Git: Publish to GitHub… | Create a GitHub repository for this project. |
| KODEO Git: Refresh | Reload the repository state. |
| KODEO Git: Create Pull Request… | From the current branch to the default one. |
| KODEO Git: Refresh | Reload pull requests and CI checks. |
Settings
