[Issue] Dash doesn't start from VS Code Extension

[masahorie]

I actually have a problem with VS Code to use Dash.

I have Dash full version on my Mac and it doesn't have any problem to use. But the extension for VS Code doesn't work for some reason. I just installed the extension on VS Code but "control+H", "control+alt+H" and any others don't start Dash app.

Dash version: 6.0.7
VS Code version: 1.59.0
macOS version: 11.5.1

Please let me know what I should do.

same problem as you !
Not sure I understand how Dash works
I just installed the extension and tried CRTL+H as I select one python instruction (tried also cmd + h,...)
nothing happens.

Actually the same as yours. I checked the shortcuts and I am pretty sure there isn't a conflict

The actual Dash app needs to be installed locally for this to work.

I think I have the same issue here:

Zeal 0.6.1 (definitely installed locally and works independently)
VS Code 1.78.1
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

The extension doesn't respond whatsoever, not even through the command palette.

Same. I have the Dash app installed. Since there have been no responses or fixes, can it be assumed that this extension is unmaintained?

Not sure if this can help.

Apparently (under Windows) the VSCode plugin solicits the Zeal app through an URI scheme.
To enroll the App with this URI in my windows I had to run from command line "zeal --register".
This should be only done ONCE and works definitively.

OSX and Linux triggers work differently. Have a look here "https://github.com/deerawan/vscode-dash/blob/master/src/dash.ts"
and test manually why trigger may not open
