Diagnostics

Athas shows diagnostics in a dedicated bottom-pane Problems view.

Open Diagnostics

You can open the diagnostics pane from any of these entry points:

  • The diagnostics indicator in the footer
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+J
  • Command Palette: View: Show Diagnostics

If you do not use diagnostics, you can disable the surface entirely in Settings > Features.

What You See

The pane summarizes all current problems and keeps a live count in the footer.

  • Errors, warnings, and info diagnostics are shown together
  • The footer badge turns into a warning-colored count when problems exist
  • Clicking a problem jumps to its file and position
  • Editor gutter markers reflect the highest-severity problem on each line

Search, Filter, and Group

Athas lets you narrow the list without leaving the pane:

  • Search by message, source, code, file path, or line and column
  • Filter by severity
  • Filter to only the current file
  • Filter by diagnostic source from the context menu
  • Group by file, severity, or not at all
  • Sort by severity, file, or position

Quick Fixes and Actions

Right-click any problem to open its action menu.

Available actions include:

  • Quick fixes exposed by the active language tooling
  • Go to Problem
  • Copy Message
  • Copy Location
  • Copy Full Details
  • Toggle wrapped messages

Pane Controls

The diagnostics pane supports the same bottom-pane workflow as terminal and references:

  • Resize it vertically from the top edge
  • Open it full screen
  • Switch between full-width and editor-width modes from the header context menu
