Add an option to disable Create Environment... button in requirements files #20982
Description
Hi all,
Is there a way to disable this button?
I think this is great for beginners but other users might handle this outside of vscode and the button is distracting.

I just tested the create a
.venvoption when I already had one, and it correctly throws an error, so it seems like instead of (or in addition to) an option to disable the button, the code should check to see if an environment is already created for the project and not show theCreate Environment...button in that case.mcandre commentedon Apr 12, 2023

I don't usually see floating buttons in the GUI, so the appearance of a
Create Environment...button looked like some sort of corruption when I first noticed it — I immediately tried to resolve the issue by quitting and relaunching 😄. It seems to me that context-dependent status and actions are typically shown in the status bar, e.g.Selected Python Interpreter, so I was expecting the Python environment to be handled in the same way.May I suggest that, instead of a floating button,
Create Environment...is integrated into the status bar?karthiknadig commentedon Apr 24, 2023

I like the idea of adding a setting to disable the button. We likely won't add anything more to the status bar per VS Code extension's UX guidelines

The button is very distracting and aggressive: the only way to make it go away is to push it, and I know I don't want to create an environment.

Might also help to check if a
.python-versionexists. The buttons is incredibly annoying.nielswadsholt commentedon May 2, 2023
The button apparently also hides the "Complete merge" button in the merge editor window 😬

Isnt this something, that can be moved to the right click menu of requirements.txt files? (Pretty much in the sense of "preview" for markdown files...)
I kinda dont get how the current button positioning without any chance to get rid of it got past the UX team. (And yes, I also re-opened vscode twice, as I thought there is a startup bug...)
