Visual Studio Code Extensions to Improve Your Productivity

[@freecodecamp]

Share your favorite VS Code extensions in the comments!

[@ChrisRLowery]

Just to throw a few out there that I like and/or use: - Alignment (I use "Align to first char" ALL the time) - Error Lens (can actually be a bit annoying, but it really does make warnings and errors stand out a lot more) - Output Colorizer (makes it way easier to read the output) - Partial Diff (don't use this that much, but it's useful being able to diff parts of the same file sometimes) - Peacock (actually never used it, though with the number of VSCode instances I've had open lately, I think I'm going to start...basically lets you change the color of VSCode by window/workspace so you can easily tell them apart at a glance) - PowerShell (because of course) - Project Manager (I don't really set up hardly any projects in it, I just configure the git portion and point it at the root folders where I keep my repos, then I can easily open different projects just by clicking on them) - Rainbow CSV ("syntax" highlighting for CSV files, makes it so you can more easily follow the (still text) contents without having to load them into Excel) - Search Editor: Apply Changes (because I have no idea why they put in the search editor and let you make changes in it but give you no way to apply the changes...this gives you a way to do that) - Transformer (I actually keep forgetting I have it so I don't use it much, but it does a bunch of text transform tricks that can be really useful) - Unicode code point of current character (the number of times some weird non-standard character slipped into a document and screwed something up...this makes it easier to examine if the character you see is actually the character you think it is)

"Todo Tree" -> Add "TODO", "FIXME", kind of comments and check them all at once in side panel "Bookmarks" -> Bookmark code lines and add description.

[@avinashthakur80]

"Text Pastry"

I love the Inspirational quotes extension. To get a quote, simply do Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command pallete, then type in get quote and hit enter. A quote will be generated!

[@sliceoflife5812]

So 10 seconds in, I can already appreciate how you took input from similar videos critics and incorporated the best of the requests (time stamps and downloads). I hope your video gets a million views down the year, you deserve it.

[@royz_1]

It's good to see some actual unknown extensions. I am tired of seeing live-server and prettier in videos like these.

[@universecode1101]

😄

[@govindbarwa1806]

I was exactly waiting for this video, as I am very new to Vscode. Just started three months ago and haven't used much other than for running/compiling C/C++

[@101stDay]

I was skeptical of yet another VSCode extension video, but a few of these were new to me! Thank you!

[@ChrisHaupt]

wow, pieces is a revelation ❤️ it's like Pocket for code

[@cariyaputta]

Didn't know about Pieces, thanks!

[@Abdullah-yq7jp]

LiveShare is going to be a game changer. So awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@devbites77]

Some useful extensions I wasn't aware of. I'll add them to my dev environment. Thanks! Some of my favorites are Auto Import, JSON Viewer, Thunder Client (for API testing), Rainbow CSV, Settings Sync (Synchronize VSCode settings), and Bookmarks.

[@yyao3895]

Just curious, is there any advantage for Settings sync over the native VSCode sync?

[@rkcolors3805]

Very nice presentation 👍 Proud of you Raman….

[@rabbitazteca23]

Yo... liveshare is amazing! I wonder why I haven't used this one before.

[@k-c]

Thank you for this wonderful video. There were a few things I did not know, made my job easier and better.

Awesome! I particularly know some of the extensions but I admit that others are really interesting to try. thanks!

[@iliya106]

Thanks for this video

Excelente informacion gracias

[@user-iw1zl7jh6k]

Where can I find a friend Liam who can help me debug and fix code like that? xD And thank you for these tips :)

[@leodevbro]

Let me introduce my VSCode extension "Blockman". It is a visual helper, it highlights entire nested code blocks.

[@proteus1]

Thanks, I see what you mean.Good extn

[@leodevbro]

Thank you so much

[@iam_spaceCabbage]

Does it work with atom?

[@sidneyck]

Oh that should be helpful. I always find it frustrating to see the end divs of the pair in html.

[@leodevbro]

@@iam_spaceCabbage Currently it is for only VSCode.

[@mj2758]

Thank you so much

[@arta_wp]

Great :) Thanks

[@alamrojas7773]

04:35 Must the other person have Visual Studio Code installed or will the interaction you had with Liam happen if the other has an Gmail account?

[@CodeAProgram]

I like vscode

[@PestisNonSapien_GMO_exHuman]

For productivity I would add dendron. Make and use a custom KB in vscode.

Thanks!

LiveShare doesn't work for me. After I click share , the share collaboration session tab pops up and it never ends .

[@alanjrobertson]

Good use of chapters! I didn't understand what Code Runner did vs just running the code directly though?

How can i delete a snippet from PIECES? Maybe a dumb question but i don't get it.

[@anushka4027]

Hey, you can find the Pieces keyboard shortcuts here: www.notion.so/getpieces/Keyboard-Shortcuts-cfc6fb26f235410a8b195563e4d44f97

[@mackmyers19]

Hi there - I'm Mack, from the Pieces team. This is a great question! You can delete a snippet using the Pieces desktop app by hitting the "delete" or "backspace" key on your keyboard. If you do not have the Pieces desktop app, you can install it from code.pieces.app/install. Our team is currently working on the ability to delete from within VS Code, so look out for that in an update today! If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@RichardAMorris]

@@mackmyers19 PiecesOS failed to install here as it is apparently a sideloaded app. I can give it an exemption, but I don't as a rule give applications exemptions without a good reason.

[@lottylone7557]

Please help me pieces shortcut is not showing in sidebar But i can add code snippets to pieces. Cant view them. How to make it show in the sidebar. help me

[@mackmyers19]

Hi there - I'm Mack, from the Pieces team. We are currently looking into this issue. In the meantime, there are a few ways to troubleshoot. First, make sure you are using Pieces for VS Code version 0.1.0. If that is the case, please try to uninstall and reinstall the plugin. If that does not work, you can try to restart VS Code. If the problem persists after this, please reach out to us at [e-mail] so that we can get more information. Thanks so much!

[@AI-tg2by]

Can you do one for pycharm too pls

[@LevisRaju]

We need more VIM tutorials 🙂

[@freecodecamp]

Did you already see this vim course? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuXoWCplsaEocU

Awesome, I have this problem with my terminal : it gives me wrong output when I run my code... Anyway to fix that

I down loaded better comments, did exactly as you did. reloaded page. and nothing. even close and reopened VScode and nothing... what do you think went wrong?

[@benaytekin]

What are the best Extensions for django?

[@wadewang574]

I find i made a similar vscode extension with Turbo Console Log ! called "Quick Python Print", their features are similar, but my extension is dedicated for python.

[@demirbilekdeniz]

thanks for the video! Any ideas on what to do when eslint and prettier has different opinions on what the code looks like? :)

[@daniel_weiss95]

what theme and font is it your using?

[@mrrishiraj88]

Good day

[@minaghasemi-sw7er]

Hi thank you very much for your great work here! you've done an amazing job😍 I just have a question. I can't run my codes by code runner. I permanently happen to receive error code=127 whenever i click run code on vscode, whereas I'm sure the python is installed on my mac, since it is shown on terminal. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

[@NitNet]

whaoooo that great, but i use panda theme.

[@prashanthvavineela1030]

Thunder client - Api testing

[@saplay3372]

Great

[@tusharabbott]

You can also run code without highlighting in code runner extension by just right click and run code

Sir can you full details video of back end developer course and it's most useful programming languages details video please I hope you can give my answer and upload the video 😊

nice

[@rashaadhartley]

CodePieces is paid, using it locally wont really be that beneficial if i start using it and not wanting to pay for it. Correct me if I am wrong and how it can be.

[@MarfTaylor]

what is the name of the font please ?

[@VimalKumar-ts7xn]

menlo

[@MarfTaylor]

@@VimalKumar-ts7xn when I download and set up menlo on my windows system the font doesn't look the same, it gets distorted when the font size is smaller

[@VimalKumar-ts7xn]

@@MarfTaylor it’s an issue for the windows, you can try zooming in or using mactype software which helps in smoother rendering

[@benvella1728]

Better comments seems interesting but I wouldn't want to push code comments like that to remote. Without an entire team agreeing on such tools it wouldn't work. Same with live share most likely

[@danielschmider5069]

whats the point of demoing coderunner by selecting the entire text and running the whole file, you could have just ran the whole file normally. This doesnt cover scope and any special cases, you're just running the file normally if you do this. You clearly didnt understand the purpose (or difficulty) with using coderunner
