IDE (VSCode): `Context Awareness` function didn’t take effect.

[pzyyll]

Description

Is this feature, as I understand it, similar to Claude Code’s automatic function that attaches the selected lines of text or a file to the context?

If so, it looks like it never actually takes effect in my VSCode—does it require some prerequisite settings or config to enable it? If not, then why describe a feature like that just to confuse?

Is this a bug or some feature that never got implemented? It shouldn’t be the same thing as File Reference Shortcuts, right?

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Context awareness #3472: Context awareness — describes the exact same problem: VSCode extension's Context Awareness feature not working when selecting text/lines and expecting it to be shared with OpenCode automatically.

Please review that issue and its discussion (including workarounds like using Opt+Cmd+K to manually send selected text). If your issue is not addressed there, feel free to continue here.

See, that's the one thing I don't understand. Claude and codex acheive this via the vscode extension. How in the world would something like this word via a cli / embedded console app. I did some searching around and I cannot seem to understand how this is even possible.

It’s already implemented now, by supporting compatibility through the lockfile for the Claude Code extension. When I raised the issue, this feature didn’t exist yet. The content on the homepage isn’t trustworthy—they showcased a feature that hadn’t been implemented yet as hype, and then went on to implement it later...

@pzyyll What PR makes this feature to be completed?
#27662 is still open. Or did I miss something?

Not done yet? I can see this feature in a separate terminal, and there’s also lockfile handling in the source code, so I thought it was finished. The official side doesn’t think it’s a bug either. I’ve moved to pi already, so i decided to close this issue.

Hi @pzyyll! So this works by using claude code, check if you have it installed with vscode, if you have only open code extension you'll not have this feature, so it's kind a bug, I commented it on the pr, also, you can get your content polluted if you have another project open and this running
