How do I recognize the extension that has taken over markdown editing-CodePudding

I suddenly find that my markdown files are being opened by a wysiwyg editor with chinese menus. No language is detected and searching through my extensions gave no hint. How do I figure out which extension is active?

CodePudding user response：

In general, there is a command called "Developer: Show Running Extensions" that you can activate from the command palette.

In this case, I see a weird spelling in that screenshot: "Vditor".

Searching for that word finds a few pages, including one whose title is "vditor VS vscode-markdown-editor". From that page, I found Vanessa219/vditor.

That project claims to be

An In-browser Markdown editor, support WYSIWYG (Rich Text), Instant Rendering (Typora-like) and Split View modes

but not a Visual Studio Code plugin.

However, the extension vscode all markdown says it is "powered by" Vditor. I suspect you'll find that's the plugin to disable.

There is also something called vscode-office. It uses Vditor for Markdown out of the box, but this can be disabled:

It change markdown editor as vditor, it's WYSIWYG editor for markdown...

if you want using vscode editor, insert below json to vscode config.
"workbench.editorAssociations": [{
  "viewType": "default",
  "filenamePattern": "*.md"
}]
