Welcome to the February 2026 release of Visual Studio Code. This release makes agents practical for longer-running and more complex tasks, giving you more control and visibility, new ways to extend agents, and smarter session management.

Agent plugins: install prepackaged bundles of skills, tools, and hooks from the Extensions view

Agentic browser tools: let the agent drive the browser to interact with your app and verify its own changes

Session memory: persist plans and guidance across conversation turns

Context compaction: manually compact conversation history to free up context space

Fork a chat session: create a new, independent session that inherits conversation history to explore alternative approaches

Agent Debug panel: get real-time vi

This week's release includes support for parallel subagents, Vercel AI Gateway as a new LLM provider, git diff stats in the git panel, and support for compound emojis.

We've also migrated all built-in agents to the ACP Registry, enabling you to remove agents you do not use.

Features

Wave v0.14.1 fixes several high-impact terminal bugs (Claude Code scrolling, IME input) and adds new config options: focus-follows-cursor, cursor style customization, workspace-scoped widgets, and vim-style block navigation.

Terminal Improvements:

• Claude Code Scroll Fix - Fixed a long-standing bug that caused terminal windows to jump to the top unexpectedly, affecting many Claude Code users
• IME Fix - Fixed Korean/CJK input where characters were lost or stuck in composition and only committed on Space
• Scroll Position Preserved on Resize - Terminal now stays scrolled to the bottom across resizes when it was already at the bottom
• Better Link Handling - Terminal URLs now have improved context menus and tooltips for

112% of our team loved the big changes we made to the Stats section. (Some people may have voted twice; we can’t say for sure.)

• There’s a new Ads tab where you can see important WordAds data like the number of ads served and revenue earned.
• We added a UTM tab so you can see source and medium for your site traffic. There’s also a Devices view that shows you which devices your visitors used.
• When you select “Today” or another daily period in the Post Stats screen, you’ll see “Last 7 days” instead of hourly data that doesn’t exist. We can’t predict the future just yet.
• We fixed some visual issues with charts and made design improvements throughout the Stats section.

We solved a caching issue on the Insights screen that would display a blank Posting Activity area. Now you can always see what you’ve been up to.

The desktop app may be flagged as a threat by Windows Defender; however, this is a false positive. This occurs because the scripts you create with WinScript can modify system settings. Rest assured, WinScript is safe, transparent, and open-source.
