Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Open src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/browser/terminalRunRecentQuickPick.ts at lines 76-83 and reproduce the hover over “similar” in the comment. Trace how the editor classifies that comment text and why it highlights replace; done means the unrelated word no longer receives that TypeScript highlight or hover behavior.
