Description

Feature Description:

The goal is to improve the problems-view by allowing end-users the ability to perform 'fix it' (lightbulb actions) directly in the problems-view for a given diagnostic marker.

Motivation

  • improve the usability of the problems-view
  • allow end-users the ability to fix issues easily (they can iterate over the markers in the view and fix them)
  • aligns with the behavior experienced in vscode

Additional Information

Proposed Initially: #4675

Research direction
Examine the Theia problems view implementation (likely in packages/plugin ext or packages/editor). Look for how diagnostics are rendered and how code actions (lightbulb) are triggered. The issue references #4675 which may contain earlier discussion. Investigate how similar features are handled in the Theia source, especially the 'problems' widget and the 'markers' tree. No existing PR or assignee, so no blocked work.
