VS Code Top-Ten Pro Tips

[@Fireship]

UPDATE. New and improved VS Code pro tips 👉 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2OUiJKqm7WJqLs An effective IDE is one of the most important factors for developer productivity (and happiness). Here are ten ways to maximize the value of VS Code. Please post your tips in the comments.

[@IrfanSyed917]

Angular Firebase what is the icon extension you are using ?

[@DarthGTB]

VS Code is great. And I love the fact that I can interact with developers on GitHub about issues or suggestions I have to the editor itself and the extensions. It's awesome. Now a suggestion for you: the music was a bit too loud. This makes it difficult to pay attention in the content for non-native English speakers such as myself. Please balance it better on new videos. You could have kept it playing through the end of the video, but with a lower volume as well Other than that, great video. Thanks a mil

[@alexandertarasenko3038]

delete vs code, install php storm

[@alexandertarasenko3038]

Lol, believe it or not I am using vscode now. Although there are some really annoying things like ""after = in html or no autocomplete for functions on html, it is quite okay. Of course ot's not php storm but there are no alterntives I guess

[@fabriziomeinero]

Alexander Tarasenko I would agree if it were open source

VS Code is possibly the single most important thing Microsoft has ever created. Upended my world when I discovered it.

[@selim9648]

other than windows that u use to open vsc in

[@Sartheris]

it was very shitty in the beginning tho, but now I LOVE it

So glad i just found this channel, as a beginner coder this is going to help me grasp concepts much faster than other longer videos (and then I can go to the other videos for more in depth if needed).

[@MikelWayder]

So, after 2 years of ur comment - are you good programmer?

[@ineedtools]

​@@MikelWayder i was wondering the same

[@RyanValizan]

my jaw dropped at that json to code converter! The hours i have spent making classes to handle those responses is unreal.

[@Tangowastaken]

This literally blew my mind. Is going to save me hours.

[@andrewminhnguyen9446]

Wow. That "Paste as JSON" is just magic. Thank you!

[@madhououinkyoma]

I’m surprised by the amount of people that are enthralled by this extension

[@FunOrange42]

Believe me when I say this that these are actually really useful tips. I ended up finding out a lot of these on my own while working on projects, so it would have been nice to just learn all of these from this one single video.

[@JoelGRodriguez]

The best tip on this video for me was learning about Carbon Based Lifeforms. Thanks for putting me up on game, homie.

[@olmanmora21]

Another cool feature in vscode is the docker remote-container that enables the devs to use vscode as it was inside the actual container, making the process of setup a new dev environment a breeze and make the developer experience nearer to the env where the code will actually run

[@anazi]

Wow does it work if I want to show my client the code and make him run it?

[@daniel-ef5tm]

A little tip to make you code faster If you want to copy a line of code, instead of selecting by dragging with the mouse or shift+Arrow keys, you can simply place your cursor at the beginning of the line and pressing CMD+C Happy coding 😉

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

yy for vim chads

[@thecodingpress5970]

same for cutting except you press cmd+x or ctrl+x

[@gribblelord]

game changer

[@madhououinkyoma]

The cursor can be anywhere in the line

[@velox__]

VS Code over Remote SSH is also amazing. Does exactly what you'd expect

[@nonadqs]

VSCode as SSH editor is awful and bloat, you should use nano, vim, emacs, or any other text line editor

[@madhououinkyoma]

@@nonadqssounds like you might never have used the extension. It more than just text. You can explore the file structure in the interface. I haven’t used it much but it can be very helpful.

[@riddheshmarkandeya7147]

Please cover the 90 other topics as well. This is just amazing!

[@JamieMcI]

vscode-spotify?? Are you kidding? Just saved all the mouse clicks.

[@Fireship]

Haha, spotify is critical

[@axea4554]

Useless for mac (have keys prev play next)

[@byprakosoo]

why i cant use it in win 10?

[@JohnSlaughterJr]

You can press the *fn* key in the lower-left of the keyboard to turn the top-row media keys back into function keys. (You can use fn with the Delete key too, to get a forward-delete on the smaller keyboard instead of a backspace delete.)

[@SpragginsDesigns]

Update - Chrome Debugger has been depreciated so no need to install it anymore. Thanks for the amazing tips and channel.

[@ostar3152]

I love your channel. Please don't change.

[@sleeplessdev7204]

I've always enjoyed the Jetbrains IDEs (like Webstorm, PhpStorm, etc) because of the rich built in features. But you make a good case for VS Code too. Although Webstorm is powerful, sometimes the clutter of all the buttons and toolbars bother me, so VS Code might be a good alternative for those situations. Thanks!

[@angela_jx]

The spotify extension pretty much saved my life

[@callumvanheerden1530]

I really appreciate that this is in 4k. Thank you.

[@StrangeIndeed]

Fun fact: you can rename files refactor in VS Code with F2 shortcut. Even funnier fact: it doesn't apply only to VS Code; you can rename files with F2 for example in File Explorer on Windows and other applications

[@sarevoker]

I work on open source and this editor is amazing, congrats for all developers involved.

[@johnathanwhite191]

the spotify plugin + carbon based lifeforms made my day! thank you

[@Fireship]

Just might do that. There are many other extensions and features that were left out.

[@StephenMoreira]

I know some developers are against being over tooled, and I certainly agree. Sometimes there's just certain little plugins/extensions that just changes my life lols. The JSON as Code is gonna be great!

Been using since 2017, but it’s 2021 now and I’m still like “I’ve never met this [editor] in my life” after watching this video

[@jeromesnail]

I've been using code-server for a couple of days, and it's great! It's VS code but directly on your server. I set it up with a reverse proxy on one of my domain, and I can use it on ANY device as a PWA. I also set up a reverse proxy on port 5500 for live server, so you can work on your PC/Chromebook/tablet and see the changes LIVE on any device. A MUST for web development :)

[@yeseniaracelitv]

Wow, that GitLens function is life changing, thanks for creating this video! It only made me love VSCode even more lol!

Microsoft: We are going to make a code editor Microsoft Developers: We are gonna rock the world

[@nikhilgautam2857]

That theme and fonts look dope can you share ?

[@jdrab]

Just to point out a little mistake - visual studio code is not free and open source if you download the installer from microsoft. Visual studio code (the product) is licensed under microsoft software license, only the source code is available under the MIT license agreement. source: code.visualstudio.com/license

[@ameetshrestha6424]

Really loved the sidebar and the icons you have there. Can you tell me what extension did you use or how you customized it?

[@YoungGrizzly]

My favorite code editor is nano My favorite IDE is the screen command

[@okie9025]

Is your favorite programming language assembly?

eww nano thats disgusting at least use vim

Huge like for CBL! Just watched their live yesterday, band ever :-)

[@sarder2008]

Hi, which font you are using for the editor or which theme?

[@__navv]

If you are coding in html ,the. you can simply type in "!" and then the optins will show. Now click the first option and the default code for an html file shold appear

[@indieNik]

I jumped from Brackets to VSCode for the brilliant features and add-ons it provides! Powerful stuff :) Great stuff and video/graphics skills! Thank you!

[@Fireship]

Thank you. Yeah, I was super impressed from day one and it just keeps getting better

[@sfoxj]

One other tip is that in the files tab on the left you can add Npm scripts which will show all the parts of the doc

[@Hugos68]

I use intellij while watching a vscode tips video, my productivity is through the roof

[@wazbat1]

Biggest question I have, what theme are you using? It's lovely

[@khalidelgazzar]

Thanks .. that's a super helpful video

[@mrclaytron]

Great video man! I've been using VS code since day 1, and there are still awesome extensions I'm learning about... That JSON extension is cool! I've got to a point with VS Code that when someone says they don't like it, it annoys me haha.

[@Fireship]

Nice! I was a little resistant to switch about 1.5 years ago, but have not looked back since.

[@mrclaytron]

Angular Firebase yeah, when I first switched from Sublime, I was only about 50% in on VS Code, as some features were missing at the time... But I really liked the direction and workflow, and every month new features meant there was less and less reason for me to keep using Sublime. Cheers - I'm a big fan of all your videos! Keep up the good work :-)

[@markotikvic]

If talking about text editors upsets you maybe it's time to seek professional help. Best of luck.

[@256k_]

Was a big atom fan back in the day and when vscode came out I was super resistant at the beginning but eventually I got converted and it was the speed of loading large projects. Atom was no where near as fast or efficient as vscode.

[@AlanDraper7169]

I think an extension is needed to run "npm:" commands from the command pallet. The extension I found was called "npm" that looks like it does what you showed. Great video, thanks!

[@ImperiumLibertas]

Liked less than 5 seconds in for that new intro. 😍

[@Fireship]

Nice, thank you!

[@AmitB]

The first one is the files list, not the command pallette. Command pallette is actually Ctrl+Shift+P.

[@soft-code]

Which would you choose, VS Code or JetBrain IDEs?

[@B1Happy]

Wow thanks man! Cool extensions!

[@edgolub]

Paste JSON as type... that is amazing!

[@philwood3520]

Holy shit I wish I knew about this when I was working with this company and struggling using VIM and Git (via the command line). VS code has everything I could ask for and then some!
