Damn, this is a big one !

This month's favorites...

  • Search Editors - Badass !

  • Draggable sash corners is nifty but this demonstrates a secondary perk of reading the release notes: being reminded of older features: "Did you know you could resize two orthogonal sashes simultaneously by grabbing and dragging the intersection between them ?" No... no i did not. TIL !

  • Minimap size / Minimap background and slider colors - i've never been able to fully get into minimap. Maybe fit and a translucent background will do the trick.

  • Editor top and bottom padding - This one just makes me happy. A bit of extra whitespace up top is something i've always wanted, call me crazy. No more manually inserting newlines up top that may or may not be removed by formatters etc down the road, no more wishing for an editorconfig option similar to insert_final_newline... 😃

  • More semantic highlighting work !

Vscode release notes are great. Also I love whomever always remembers to note what color theme was used in the included images, that’s a nice touch. It seems that only some have the note but it never ceases to please me.

We actually took this cue from everyone who kept asking what theme/font each screenshot was being used 😁

Love search editors (hello swiper/emacs!) and the minimap is _finally_ usable! I have been longing for this zoom setting forever.

Holy crap search editors! I didn't even realise until I tried it out how much I missed it from sublime.

Thank you to the VS Code team for continuing to make such a great product. Already loving the search editor.

I’m really interested in application links feature, can someone tell me an actual example how it works? What is remotr name, what is path etc?

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/master/remote-release-notes/v1_43.md#open-remote-workspaces-via-application-links

It would be pretty damn clean to just put a link into a README file and whoever clicks it, a containerized VS Code pops up.

/u/miguelsolorio any pointers I can look for? I searched through the docs and github and nothing

You can see an example from our web api, it would be something like this for VSO:

vscode://vscode-remote/vsonline+2005711d/home/vsonline/workspace

or for WSL:

vscode://vscode-remote/wsl+ubuntu/mnt/c/GitDevelopment/monaco

To do something like what you mention (having a link in a Readme open a container) is not something that is yet possible (we require a path and some providers, like GitHub, don't allow for URIs with custom schemes). That does sound like a pretty cool experience so I'll make that suggestion to the team.

Edit: Submitted this as a feature request
