Commands

These commands are available in the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P):

Command	ID	Purpose
Buttons: Open Panel	buttons.openPanel	Focus the Buttons sidebar in the Activity Bar.
Buttons: Open in Editor	buttons.openMainPanel	Open the full-width Buttons editor panel. Also available from the editor title-bar icon.
Buttons: Rescan Scripts	buttons.rescan	Re-scan the workspace and reconcile the project scripts.
Buttons: Open Project Buttons File	buttons.openProjectButtons	Open (and create if needed) <workspace root>/.buttons.json.
Buttons: Open Global Buttons File	buttons.openGlobalButtons	Open (and create if needed) ~/.buttons.json.
Buttons: Add to Buttons	buttons.addFileButton	Add the selected file as a project button. On .sh and Python entry files it creates a standalone button; on manifests it adds the file’s folder as a scan directory.

Add to Buttons also appears when you right-click a script file or manifest in the Explorer. Manifests are package.json, Makefile, justfile, composer.json, Cargo.toml, and go.mod.

There are no default keybindings. You can assign your own under Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts. The gear icon in the panel header opens VS Code’s settings page for buttons.textSize. That is a built-in command, not a Buttons command. The markdown icon in the header copies the Buttons AI skill or writes BUTTONS-SKILL.md in the project root.
