Compound Commands

Chain actions with "and" or "then" — "format and save" runs both in sequence, instantly.

Ω Macros

Define named command sequences in your settings. One phrase triggers the whole workflow.

Custom Commands

Map any phrase to any VS Code command. Your vocabulary, your rules.

Trace Mode

See the full ranked results before committing. Understand exactly what Launchpad picks and why.

Typo Tolerant

Trigram fuzzy matching handles "comit" → commit, "termnial" → terminal. Just type naturally.

Local Processing

All command matching runs in your editor — no accounts, no API keys, no cloud processing. Only an anonymous weekly ping (random ID + version + an edition tag), off with one setting.

How it works

01

You type a phrase

Press Ctrl+Shift+. and type what you want in plain English.

02

Launchpad classifies it

A deterministic scoring engine matches your input to one of 195 intents in under 3ms. No cloud, no LLM.

03

VS Code executes it

The matched command runs immediately. Compound phrases execute each part in sequence.

🎤 Voice Commands

Speak instead of type. Press Ctrl+Shift+/ and say your command — Launchpad transcribes on-device via the VS Code Speech extension and executes, no cloud transcription.
