Vscode: Native wayland support with newest electron

Created on 22 Oct 2020  路  1Comment  路  Source: microsoft/vscode




Native wayland support would be great to run vs code without XWayland as described in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/77752.

Recently electron merged the chrome version with the ozone backend needed:
https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/26022

This would allow for:

  • Kinetic scrolling (maybe this is more elegantly implemented on the elctron side)
  • Better touch support (touch scrolling)
  • better dpi scaling

Thanks for opening the issue, agree with the benefits. The electron PR only got the basic compilation bits, there will be follow-up PRs to make it feature complete. VSCode will consume those binaries once they are available.
