Code change:
With I went over most editor contributions (50+) and adopted idle value instantiation where I could reason that they would still work correctly. But some editor contributions interact in more complex ways, sometimes with each other, and I wasn't sure. Hence, this issue. I would like to ask that all calls explicitly use . If a contribution uses eager, a reason should be written as a comment next to it. There are multiple options available: Some things to keep in mind when changing an editor contribution to something else than : the contribution will not be created necessarily before a text model is attached. Normally, a contribution is created so early, at a point when the editor has no models. So it is safe for a contribution to simply use to check if the contribution needs to do anything. When being instantiated later, it is possible that the contribution will be created at a time when the editor already has a model, so the contribution should be prepared to deal with that in the ctor. if a contribution needs to be activated via editor events (pasting, typing, mouse events), then most likely you can use . if a contribution is mostly driven by actions or commands, then the contribution will be instantiated when the first action that needs it is executed, so it is safe to use . if a contribution is only driven by actions or commands, it is safe to use . Anyways, here's the remaining list of contributions for which I wasn't sure what would be correct:
Replacing me with who took over quick pick.
