ANSI Colors

ANSI Color styling for your text editor.

Basic usage

Select the ANSI Text language mode to highlight text marked up with ANSI escapes. Files with the .ans and .ansi extensions will be highlighted by default.

ANSI Text language mode; Dark Plus theme

Run the ANSI Text: Open Preview command for the prettified read-only preview.

ANSI Text preview; Dark Plus theme

Clicking the preview icon in the editor title will open the preview in a new tab. Alt-click to open in the current tab.

Preview icon

The extension fetches the colors from the current theme and aims to look as good as the built-in terminal.

ANSI Text preview; various themes

FAQ

  • How do I enable this extension for files other than .ans and .ansi?

    This can be done using the VS Code "language mode" feature. For example, to enable it for all .log filesd, open a .log file, then do F1 - Change Language Mode - Configure File Association for '.log' - ANSI Text.

  • Can the "preview mode" be opened automatically?

    No, it can't, not with the way the extension is currently designed, at least.

    vscode-ansi uses VSCode's built-in text editors in readonly mode (via TextDocumentContentProvider) for preview display. The only custom editors allowed to open files "by default" (e.g. by double-click) are webview-based custom editors. But building such an editor means reimplementing all the default functionality from scratch - navigation, searching, line wrap, interaction with other extensions (e.g. spell check).
