Description

  • As noted in microsoft/vscode#252168, I have a PR with a sizable number of comments spread across some sizable number of files, but it's a fairly small subset of all files in the repository.

I'd like to be able to filter the Pull Requests pane to only show files with comments. Currently, I have:

And this comments pane:

Sure, I could highlight the first file in the comments pane, and then press the left arrow and then the down arrow and alternate through left and down until I got to the end, but it's fairly painful, and I don't get access to the pretty file hierarchy:

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start at the Pull Requests pane and locate the files view and its existing comments-related data or controls. Determine how the view represents files and comments, then make the filter show only files with comments while preserving the file hierarchy; add or update tests if the relevant entry point has coverage.
