Facing a pretty strange behavior in #VSCode while editing Markdown: when using the backtick to wrap code, the editor behaves like it's a grave accent waiting for the next character to be entered. If the next character doesn’t accept an accent, then the backtick is not displayed. It is saved in the file though.

Does VSCode (eg in pylance) have a feature to display a clickable link to the language standard library documentation (eg #python #vscode #askfedi

I'm a keyboard-only user using vimium, I think I can still pull every branch locally and use vscode or gh cli to see the comments? Much slower though and doesn't really work in a review meeting. I'm happy to have suggested workarounds if anyone has any (they broke the plus button for commenting some months ago, it's all just very difficult now)

I've been using #vscode for a long time now, both at work and in private. I remember switching to it felt weird and lightweight and it took me a bit to get used to. But ever since I've had the feeling on depending on #ms which I battled with "oh well it's

Almost freaked out when I saw this, thought it could be a new VSCode feature.
Turns out, it's a special ligature feature of the Maple Mono font font.subf.dev/

You are a vim/neovim user. You have a few plugins installed.
How do you remind yourself of those that you are not using on a regular basis?
I guess the question applies to any text editor or IDE.

Life with Visual Studio Code #VSCode
1. I learned about `code --disable-extensions. This helped pinpoint the selection issue to most probably an extension.
2. I have removed most of the extensions. I have Go, Java, Python, XML, YAML. Go is from Google, Java from Oracle, Python from MS, XML & YAML from RedHat. This is very interesting!
3. I still feel very lost in terms of shortcuts. I'm struggling to decide if I should introduce the ones I'm familiar with or continue to experience #VSCode

My recent experience with #VSCode started very badly.
Since, it improved immensely. Now I have a couple of days of coding on some small Go projects that felt good.
I am still struggling with shortcuts. In particular `F12` and `Ctrl- -`. I am sticking with the defaults for now.

The document-wide in-scrollbar thumbnail / minimap has been around for a while. Most people are familiar with it from RockScroll (2008) or Sublime Text (2012) or VSCode (2015).

Who is using the mini-map in #VSCode and what for?

I continue to use #VSCode with my #Go projects.
It’s decent enough to feel okay.
I did switch to #Vim bindings.
I do feel a significant drop in my own comfort levels using #VSCode bindings for which I cannot find any logic.
