Hi @nickzhums, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

You can prevent the wizard from closing when the user clicks elsewhere by using VS Code’s Quick Input API with the ignoreFocusOut option:

• If you’re using showQuickPick:

  vscode.window.showQuickPick(items, {
    ignoreFocusOut: true
  }).then(selection => {
    // handle the selection
  });

  • see https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#window.showQuickPick

• If you’re creating a custom QuickPick:

  const quickPick = vscode.window.createQuickPick();
  quickPick.items = items;
  quickPick.ignoreFocusOut = true;
  quickPick.onDidAccept(() => {
    // handle accept
    quickPick.hide();
  });
  quickPick.show();

  • see https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#QuickPickOptions

No existing issue covers this exact request; it would be considered an enhancement to the code generation wizard.
