VS Code

An overview of VS Code (the editor) from my perspective and experience.

2022-09-21

VS Code is the primary editor I use as a programmer.

I keep my config as a literate programming file at VS Code Configuration.

Frequently Used Terminal Commands

There are a number of terminal commands I use fairly frequently:

  • code --list-extensions - show the list of extensions installed
  • code . - open the current directory in a new VS Code window
  • code -r . - open the current directory by reusing the currently active VS Code window

Preferred Extensions

The list of extensions (from running code -list-extensions):
