A Visual Studio Code extension to switch OBS scenes automatically when opening files previously marked to contain sensitive / secret data (e.g. .env files).
- Auto connect to OBS on launch
- Set an OBS websocket password in your keychain / Secret Service API (libsecret) / Credential Vault.
- Add & remove selected files to the list of secret files straight from the file explorer.
- Switch scenes if the opened filename matches to a regexp in the workspace settings
- Automatically switch back when file containing secrets is closed again
