- 📦CodeMan - VSCode updated to version 1.6.2New:
• Code Keyboard: a built-in keyboard made for coding. Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Cmd, arrow keys, copy, cut, paste, undo and redo sit in its top row, so you no longer need a separate toolbar.
• Stays inside the CodeMan window: in Stage Manager and Split View it only spans CodeMan, and the editor resizes to sit above it.
• New dark design to match the editor, with monospaced keys, an accent-coloured Return key, and a press animation.
• Faster editing: delete and the arrow keys repeat when held. Tap Shift once for one capital, double-tap for caps lock, and use Shift with the arrows to select text.
• Code Keyboard switch in Settings → Interface. Turn it off to go back to the system keyboard for dictation, emoji or other languages.
Fixes:
• Login proxies: fixed an endless sign-in loop for servers behind authentik, Authelia, oauth2-proxy, Cloudflare Access and similar. Their sign-in page links now stay inside the app instead of opening Safari.
• Certificate errors: fixed a certificate error that flickered on and off when the server couldn’t be verified.
• Retry button: Retry now works when the first connection fails.
• Expired certificates: these now show a clear “Certificate Expired” message with steps to fix it.… more - 📈CodeMan - VSCode entered the top 10Top Paid · Developer Tools · FR

CodeMan - VSCode at a glance
AI summary written from our chart and store data, 2026-11-07. It can be wrong: check the numbers above.
CodeMan is a paid mobile and desktop client that enables developers to connect to remote VS Code servers or vscode.dev instances, providing full keyboard shortcut support and multi-window capabilities for coding on the go. The app has achieved strong traction in Japan (#1 Paid Developer Tools) and Brazil (#3 Paid Developer Tools), indicating significant adoption among mobile-first developers in these markets despite its recent release and limited overall rating volume.

Review momentum

faster than 56% of Developer Tools apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
