Intro

Hey vscode lovers, We all know one fact that vs code is one of the best IDE out there and it is already great. But here I am going to give you some extensions that will make your experience more amazing.

Before we start

Let’s face the fact that you have already read multiple articles in search of good extensions that will make you more productive, so I will add those common extensions here (which you will find in every other article), just in case you have not heard about any of these.

1. TODO Highlight :- Highlight TODO, FIXME and other annotations within your code.
2. Visual Studio IntelliCode :- The Visual Studio IntelliCode extension provides AI-assisted development features for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript and Java developers, with insights based on understanding your code context combined with machine learning.
3. Live Share :- Visual Studio Live Share enables you to collaboratively edit and debug with others in real time, regardless what programming languages you’re using or app types you’re building.
4. GitLens :- GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and code lens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and so much more.
5. Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 :- This extension allows matching brackets to be identified with colours. The user can define which tokens to match, and which colours to use.

Our real extension heroes

I have already added the most popular extensions above, now it’s time to see the extensions that I found really useful.

Simple but really useful extension, with the help of this we can go out of quotes and brackets with the help of tab button, no more arrow key :)

1. TabOut :- Tab out of quotes, brackets, etc.

An easier way of creating files inside our project, we don’t need a mouse anymore to navigate to the folder just to create files.

2. Advanced New File :- Making the creation of a new file even easier. Specify the name of the file on the creation and if you define a path that doesn’t exist yet the folders will be created.

A bookmarking tool that helps us to navigate through a large codebase a lot easier.

3. Bookmarks :- Mark lines and jump to them

This extension helps us to visualize our test coverage in each file, you can also see coverage percentage in your status bar. It’ll automatically detect coverage file and use it to display coverage report.

4. Coverage Gutters :- Display test coverage generated by icov or XML.

At last, I just want to give you guys a gift of this beautiful theme, I absolutely adore this theme, it gives me a feeling of comfort, Thanks Jolaleye for making this beautiful theme.

5. Horizon Theme :- A beautifully warm dual theme for Visual Studio Code.

That’s it, Thanks for sharing your time with me.
