Visual Studio Code

  • Visual Studio Code is based on Electron (https://electronjs.org/), a framework for creating cross-platform applications with native technologies, and combines the simplicity of a powerful code editor with the tools a developer needs to support the application life cycle development, including debuggers and version control integration based on Git.

  • ASP.NET Core, the cross-platform, open source technology able to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS that Microsoft produced to create portable web applications.

  • Core features of VS Code

    • Built-in support for coding with many languages
    • Built-in debugger for Node.js, with support for additional debuggers (such as .NET Core and Mono) via extensibility
    • Version control based on the popular Git engine

  • Visual Studio Code provides a coding environment based on folders, which makes it easy to work with code files that are not organized within projects and offers a unified way to work with different languages.

  • User interface is divided into five areas: the code editor, the status bar, the activity bar, panels area, and the side bar.

  • You can quickly switch between editors by pressing Ctrl + 1, 2, and 3.

  • Press Ctrl+Tab to list all open files in command palette, press Tab again to browse the list of open files.

  • zoom in and out the active editor by clicking Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- respectively

  • status bar color changes depending on the situation. For example, it is violet when you open a single file, blue when you open a folder, and orange when Visual Studio Code is in debugging mode.

  • The OUTLINE group provides a hierarchical view of types and members defined within a code file or of tags within defined in a markup file.

  • The Git icon also shows the number of files that have been modified locally.

  • for Navigate sequencital tabs Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown

  • Command Palette is another very important tool in Visual Studio Code, which allows for accessing Visual Studio Code built-in commands and also commands added by extensions via the keyboard.

  • Open Command Palette via the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut.

  • Microsoft C# free extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.csharp) provides an optimized experience for .NET Core development and includes all the support and tools you need to build apps with C#, including the necessary support for the .NET Core debugger.

  • advanced editing capabilities based on the .NET Compiler Platform (also known as Roslyn) that makes it easier to fix code issues as you type.

  • press Ctrl+D to fast select a word or identifier at the right of the cursor.

  • Multicursors, add secondary cursors by pressing Alt-Click at the desired position.

  • Emmet abbreviation syntax for built-in code snippets that you can easily add.

  • Visual Studio Code provides the Minimap, a small preview of the source code file on the code editor’s scrollbar.

  • A breadcrumb navigation lets you jump to symbols and files in your workspace from the top without having to mess around with the file explorer; most helpful for small screens.

  • For markdown preview press Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on macOS) in the code editor, and the preview will appear in a separate window.

  • Editor ruler setting

 "editor.rulers": [
        {
            "column": 100,
            "color": "#ff00FF"
        },
        {
            "column": 120,
            "color": "#ff0000"
        },
    ]
