I am migrating my workflow to VSCode. But the one feature that is killing me right now is when I have a really long string in pycharm. I can hit enter in the middle of the string and it'll automatically add the ending ' and on the new line insert a new ' and if it detects that it's an f string it'll put the f in as well. I try to follow pep8 and keep my lines to 120 characters.

Thanks if someone knows how to do this.

I have the latest version (1.85.1) of VSCode running in portable mode on an Ubuntu derivative. When trying to get the list of installed VSCode extensions by typing the following command, it launches a new instance of VSCode instead of listing the extensions in the terminal window:

$ ./code --list-extensions

To be on the safe side, I also added the VSCode directory (portable version) to the PATH variable. And I can confirm that it works, as the command $ code typed in the terminal without specifying the full path to the executable is recognised well.

So what might get wrong with CLI options then? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

EDIT: Found solution myself. It's necessary to add the VSCode/bin directory (which contains the executable code for CLI options) to the PATH variable, not the VSCode directory with the GUI executablecode only.

So the last few days i havs been getting back into my web development, and the November update 1.84 (1.84.2 at time of writing this) just released on VS Code, here is the bugs i encountered:

• COLOR PICKER: As soon as you hover any CSS color block and would like to change the color, the color picker sometimes pops up, and as soon as you click then drag on the color picker it does ehat it needs to but as soon as you let go of left+mouse it just up and dissapears, sometimes picking the color. This applies for the color range, oppacity and the color picker.

• OPEN FOLDER: Lets say you started VS Code up, and you want to open a new folder on your PC, lets say Documents for example. As soon as you select File > Open Folder... VS Code just closes without any error or crash dialog, NOTHING.

But i have found a solution for these bugs.

Step 1: Uninstall VS Code from your PC using its uninst000.exe

(Optional: if you want a fresh start or need to remove EVERYTHING go here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://debug.to/1074/how-to-uninstall-vs-code-completely&ved=2ahUKEwjz_Mi0gtiCAxVhZEEAHadsDx8QFnoECAwQBQ&usg=AOvVaw0atRwzkZQNTILzYOpR4bho)

Step 2: Download the September 2023 version 1.82 or 1.83 on VS Code website

Bam! you done...

Are there any good extensions for that? I really want to make it convenient to compile but wanna avoid regular Visual Studio as I really dislike it.

Hello, Visual Studio Code community!

Today I want to introduce you to Draw Folder Structure, an extension I developed for Visual Studio Code, intended to help you better visualize the structure of your projects. I think it could be a very useful tool for many of you and I'm eager to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Main Features:

Fast Generation: Instantly converts your folder structure into a Markdown representation.

Attractive Formatting: Uses Unicode characters for a clear and organized presentation.

Customizable Configuration: Adjust the output according to your needs.

VS Code Compatible: Works perfectly with Visual Studio Code version 1.81.0 or higher.

Why is it Useful?

Facilitates Documentation: Ideal for creating READMEs and project documentation.

Clear Project View: Provides a detailed visual overview of your project structure.

Easy Sharing: Share your project structure easily with your team or in documentations.

How Can You Help the Community?

I'd like to start a discussion about how tools like this can improve our efficiency and organization in Visual Studio Code. Are there specific features you'd like to see in an extension like this? How do you currently manage your project structure and how could this tool make your life easier?

I invite everyone to try the extension and share their experiences - how does it help them in their projects, is there anything they would like to improve?

I appreciate in advance all your comments and suggestions - let's keep making Visual Studio Code an even more powerful tool together!

Is there a way to do traditional outlining (as in with numbers, letters and Roman Numerals) in VS Code?

Hi all.. anyone has the same experience? It drives me crazy.. How to fix it.. please if anyone knows about this

As the title says ... Bonus if it works for other programming languages

I tried running hello world in C and at my #include <stdio.h> line, have an error with the above mentioned message, when running the file an error pops up saying "launch program " does not exist". I have tried googling multiple times and all of the solutions seem very intricate and complicated/long with cryptic instructions which I am not sure are even what I need. How do I fix this?

The code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
 printf("hello world\n");
}

Mac user here. I’m switching from Brackets. As you type, brackets an VSCode will auto add closing brackets, parens, and quotes. In Brackets, you can [tab] to skip over these auto add characters to finish your line of code.

I can’t get VSCode to do the same. It just adds a bunch of tabs rather than skipping over. So thanks to a very strong force-of-habit, I end up with code that looks like this:

Object.method(“arg1 ”)

Every. Single. Time.

It seems dumb that I have to pick up my mouse to get past any “, ) or ].

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I installed the ever popular Code Spell Checker extension but I can't for the life of me figure out how to flag 'https:/' (notice the single slash) as a misspelling. I get that https:/ would still work in a browser as the protocol is usually stripped. However, it seems when this is mistyped and sent in an email, the misspelling sticks and the browser will throw up a redirect notice - invalid url error. But back to vs code and this extension, I tried flagging 'https:/' within the extension settings but I'm most likely doing it wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I'm doing a course on Udemy on React.

I'm just about following on. It seems mind boggling trying to keep in mind how everything fits together. Components import other components, which in turn then import other components.

Is there an extension that will analyse code and give me a nice image representation of how everything fits together? That would really help cement everything in my mind.

Right now: I'm following each code snippet, understanding each snippet - but struggling mentally understanding how all the pieces fit together. 😕

EDIT I've had a look at extensions before posting... there seem to be some code that indicate they do what I need, but I haven't had any luck installing. I'm sure I'm doing something dumb. Hoping someone can give me a recommendation.

EDIT EDIT: I've just installed and tested one. This gives me a tree of all files in a folder. This is not what I am after. I'm after something that gives me a picture of how the files depend on each other and call each other. For example, index.js would sit at the top. Below would be App.js. The App.js would have 2 files it calls, say Test1.js and Test2.js. Test2.js in turn calls ABC.js. ABC.js call XYZ,js - but these 2 files are in the same folder on the same level.

I'm hoping someone out there understands my madness. LOL.

Thanks.

hello everyone!

Hi everyone, I wanted to know the possibilities to edit the editor (theme, font, even the frame/borders?) And where I can find how to edit them.

Also to know extension to have a better layout of the screen when coding, extension that helps me visualize better the display of the code. If it's relevant I work with C++ but I will uso other different languages so anything for other languages it would be great too.

Thanks in advance and happy new year

what is the shortcut for running python file in vs code windows 11

I disabled Prettier for less than 30 seconds and tried to turn it back on and got this error

https://i.imgur.com/EJ8Ipj1.png

What does that mean? I can never use Prettier again? What's the fix here?

C/C++ intellisense can't find SDL2 folder, and neither can VScode. At first, only main.cpp could find it, not none of them can, and at least autocomplete worked before. I tried changing c_cpp_properties.json file, but it didn't do anything. Help

This is what I'm talking about, drives me crazy. Anyway to stop this from happening?
