  • VSCode Version: 1.11.2
  • OS Version: Linux Mint 18.1

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X).
  2. Search for "@sort:installs" (or any other query that shows extensions you do not have installed).
  3. Click the green install button next to an extension.

Actual Results:

Button "dims" and changes the displayed text to "Installing" until the extension has been installed.

Desired Behavior:

A cancel button appears or at least clicking on the "Installing" button opens a menu with a cancel option.

Rationale:

Install can be hit accidentally, extensions can be large, and in many places bandwidth is still capped/limited; thus, it would be nice to have a recourse other than exiting VS Code to abort the download.

@joaomoreno why is this feature out of scope? I most of the time hop around my different OS environments and sometimes I don't want to install new extensions from the sync, but keep the settings and keybindings synced.

@joaomoreno is this impossible?
