Developers waste hours context-switching between terminal and IDE to find and fix errors across large codebases

In large TypeScript/JavaScript projects with hundreds of files, developers must manually run build commands in the terminal to see all project errors, then tediously search through their IDE to locate and fix each one. This fragmented workflow breaks focus and creates a painful gap between error discovery and resolution. Current IDE solutions only show errors in open files, forcing developers into a broken feedback loop of terminal-to-editor navigation.

Feature Request: Show all errors and warnings in project for all JavaScript and TypeScript files, not just opened ones

I am using VS Code on a project at work that has hundreds of files and many layers of nested sub-directories. I frequently make changes that break many files, such as changing the call signature of a commonly used method. Since the project is entirely typescript, it is useful to be able to open the ...
