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

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the problems view widget in Theia to see how markers are rendered and how code actions are provided. Then, implement a 'fix' action that calls the code action provider for each diagnostic marker.
