Code Snapshot

Code snapshot is a utility extension that makes taking code screenshots easier than ever. Just enable the extension and select the code you want to be shown in the screenshot and Voila! all done

Peacock

Having multiple visual studio code windows open while working on multiple projects is something we are all guilty of doing and also pasting code in the wrong window is something we all don’t want to admit.

Here is a solution to just that…
Peacock allows you to colorize your visual studio code window and isolates the color scheme to just that window, so now you can use different colors for different windows and not mess up your code as much 😉

Quokka.js

Quokka.js is one of the fly javascript playgrounds. While debugging a long javascript it’s really hard to switch tabs and understand the error. Quokka makes it easier by showing the output of your javascript code in your visual studio code terminal.

So now no more switching to your browser tab and opening your console again and again…

TODO Highlight

Nothing extraordinary but useful for long debugging and implementation sessions. TODO Highlight helps to colorize your comments into various keywords and these keywords will be highlighted throughout the code to make it more noticeable.

Prettier — Code formatter

Prettier is one of my all-time favorite vscode extensions. It is a code formatted which can save you a lot of time that you would otherwise waste in formatting and indenting the code. Prettier does that all for you in a single click or on save.
