Visual Studio Code (vs-code) essentials.

This is how I use the Visual Studio Code (vs-code) as a web developer.

VS Code is a widely used and free IDE that is beloved by the open web community. If you’re a web developer and haven’t heard of or used it before, you may be living under a rock the size of Mount Everest! Just saying… As a web developer myself, I use this IDE frequently and thought I would share how I use it in case it’s useful to others.

Note: There are many articles, posts, and YouTube videos available to help you get started with VS Code and even become a pro. However, I am documenting my own experience with the IDE solely for my personal reference.

Keyboard shortcuts

There is an excellent article about the 20 VS Code shortcuts for faster coding. Any developer loving the VS Code IDE should at-least know few of these shortcuts!!.

Extensions

Below are the list of the extensions I currently use and they are awesome.

Auto Rename Tag

Hi! I’m Kumar and I live in Bangalore (IN) with my family. By profession I’m a Web Developer experienced in a vast variety of frameworks and technologies, like, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, Bootstrap… Using these i have built or sometimes maintained mid market and enterprise level applications. I worked for few software companies over the years and on few domains like finance, field-service and storage. I also did consulting job at one point. I am loyal and hard (or for better word smart) working individual. In my free time I read books, in fact I buy a lot of books hoping that some day I might find all the time in the world to read them and I also enjoy watching TV.
