Disable Underfull \hbox (badness 10000), but display Overfull \hbox (16.1262pt too wide)?

[HenningCode]

Hello as the title suggests I want to disable the Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) message, but still display the Overfull \hbox (16.1262pt too wide) message, because that one is way more important to me.

Underfull boxes only occur for me at least after I use \\, but Overfull if a word is to long and I may not realize that.

Greetings

Use latex-workshop.message.latexlog.exclude to drop underfull messages

"latex-workshop.message.latexlog.exclude": [
    "^Underfull \\hbox"
]

You can also play with the badness value in your LaTeX files, see https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/%5Chbadness

This does not work for me sadly.

If you modify the value of latex-workshop.message.latexlog.exclude using VS Code Preference, you can directly write

Yet, if you edit the json file, you have to doubly escape the \

"latex-workshop.message.latexlog.exclude": [
    "^Underfull \\\\hbox"
]
