My VS Code Setup
As a developer, the main software I install on my PC is my code editor. As if it is the only code editor available, the number one choice for almost all developers is vs code. It is a really good code editor which contains all features a developer needs.
If you feel like you need extra features you can use the large ecosystem of extensions.
When I set up VS Code for my day-to-day coding I install a couple of extensions. Here are some of these extensions and their uses;
- vs-code icons (with “Material Icon Theme” installed as a theme for the icons library)
- Auto Rename Tag
- ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-Native Snippets
- Live Server(Extension Id: ritwickdey.LiveServer)
- Ruby(semantic highlighting and formatting support)
- Prettier
To increase productivity, many developers use keyboard shortcuts. To change the default keyboard shortcuts of vs code go to File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts and search for the command you want to modify and change it to your liking.
