The Remote Environments editor in the Agents window has a new This Computer section above the list of other environments. It shows this computer's sharing name and lets you turn Remote Connections on or off from where you manage your other machines.

Setup

  • Use a recent Insiders build. The section is on for the VS Code team. If you don't see it, set sessions.chat.experimental.remoteEnvironmentsThisComputer to true.
  • A second machine or vscode.dev/agents is useful for the last check, but not required.

Test

  • In the Agents window, open the Remote Connections menu in the title bar and choose Manage Remote Environments. Also try the Command Palette.
  • The editor shows This Computer above Other Environments. Check the layout in a narrow window and in light, dark, and high contrast themes.
  • Use Rename Sharing Name. Also try an empty name and cancelling.
  • Switch Remote Connections between Off, Dev Tunnels, and GitHub Environments (if available). The status next to the options should update, and the title-bar menu and chat input toggle should show the same choice. Change it from those places, too, and check that the section follows.
  • Keyboard and screen reader: Tab to the options, then use the arrow keys and Enter or Space to choose one. Open Accessibility Help (Alt+F1) and check that it describes the section.
  • With sharing on, find this computer under its sharing name from another machine or vscode.dev/agents, and connect to it.
  • Set the setting to false. The section and the Other Environments heading should disappear without a reload.
