Display (activated via command palette or shortcut key): Displays coverage for the current activated file only, does not update if the coverage files change.
Preview Report (activated via command palette): Shows you a html preview of your coverage reports in your editor.
Officially Supported Languages (Backed by tests ran nightly)
See examples directory on how to setup a project.
Tips and Tricks
Using Breakpoints: Currently to both use the extension and code debugging breakpoints, you need to disable the gutter coverage and enable the line coverage via the settings ( coverage-gutters.showGutterCoverage and coverage-gutters.showLineCoverage respectively).

Filled points are observed values; hollow points come from Internet Archive snapshots of the listing page. Dashed segments span periods with no observations — values between points are not interpolated.
Each band is one page of 20. Installs on a linear scale. Placement is projected from installs, so it can differ from the marketplace's own sort order. Hover a dot to see the listing.
