Fantastic! Thank you so much.
I think it's a fairly common situation that people using programming tools (VS Code, git, vim etc) can go for years without realizing there is a built-in feature that can solve exactly a problem they always struggled to solve. I'm not sure how to surface that sort of functionality in the tool, but I'm glad HN is here to point it out. One similarly cool thing I learned in a recent comment is that if you press dot (.) on Github web interface, it will launch an in-browser VS Code instance to edit the file you are viewing. Nifty!
- 323 4y agoIt helps to read the VS Code monthly update release notes, it takes about 3 min, but you'll be aware of all new features they introduce.
- edub 4y agoYou are a faster reader than me. The October update has around 4,700 words plus plenty of images to digest. I understand you likely mean to review the highlights, but a non-trivial amount of information is in each months update. And if you haven't been keeping up for the past 6 years, it isn't easy to catch up now. Not to mention the breadth of the marketplace.
