Hello,
First, thank you for providing such a convenient extension!

I think that VSCode version requirements could be reduced to ^1.46.0 or even lower. And the relevant code could be modified before packaging to .vsix.

I manage to install this extension directly for my Visual Studio Code 1.46.1, but the extension is failed to install.
Then I download the vsix package, and I modified ^1.47.0 to ^1.46.0, and it is installed successfully. (I directly put the unzipped directory to .vscode folder to install this extension.)

yours sincerely,
@WMF1997

Good idea,
but I can't find the old version of vscode, Is there a way to find the suitable vscode version easily?

Hello,

You can visit

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates

to get the older releases.

Since I do not know VS Code extension development, I think you can manage to test on some specific releases, for example,
v1.45, v1.40, ...

Since most people are using Visual Studio 1.35+ (May 2019), and this extension does not use too much new features in Visual Studio Code? I think the lower version could be set "^1.35.0" ?

yours sincerely,
@WMF1997

Thanks very much for offering information

I put one package requiring VSCode engine ^1.44 in release v0.2.3-beta.1
I test the extension using portable vscode in win10, and it can works in version 1.44.0, but can't work in versions earlier. So may the ^1.44 is OK.

best wishes
