How to use Flutter's Widget Inspector in Visual Studio Code?
How do you use the Flutter Widget Inspector introduced in VSCode and now enabled? When I debug the app from the IDE or Terminal, nothing happens when I click on any widget in the iOS simulator. I could not find any info on VSCode from Google.
I am on MacOS Sierra.

When debugging, run command Flutter: Inspect Widget, then click on the UI/Widget, it will auto lead you to the code which generates the widget. It only works in debugging mode and the command is not available until the app is loaded in debug.

Thank you - my problem was debugging from Terminal and thinking VSCode could attach automatically, it doesn't appear to be the case. It must be debugged within the IDE.

Yes, it appears to be only working when you debug from IDE for now. Maybe that's something Dart/Flutter plugin can be improved in the future.
