I've been using VSCode for quite a while now and one of the most annoying things that I have noticed i...

Hey there. VS Code dev here. A few comments:
search.exclude
reduces no memory at all.The best thing you can do to reduce memory consumption in VS Code is: install less extensions.
Hi, thanks for the heads-up, about the telemetry i know it does not affect memory consumption, but I mentioned I could include as a tip for other devs that don't like sharing data.
Great thing that search doesn't index I didn't know that! But removing folders for search greatly improves user experience during search.
For workspaces, I'll give it a go then. Thank you for the tip!!
is it possible to see what extensions uses how much memory, the easy way?
was looking but not found any , thank you
watchExlude setting is working

if everyone removed their telemetry - vscode would be less effective. it helps the VSC team counter issues with the product. i think.
Yeah, I do believe so. But most devs I know are quite savvy about sharing data, so I included this just to warn people that it does share and there's a way to disable it!
if someone got an issue he will probably just report it in the GitHub issues page
My tip would be: delete all useless or redundant extensions that you're not actually using 😄
Just implemented this on my laptop and memory consumption has gotten so much better! Even things like searching are significantly faster now. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you for this. This memory consumption issue has been a pain for me
It is a pain to us all. Glad I could help!
This is a great little collection of tips. Thanks for writing!
Was waiting for a long time for this kind of post! Amazing!
Use SublimeText
great topic! thanks
thank you
The final script lacks of the telemetry one...
Great tips! Many thanks for sharing them. 🙏
Going further, if memory is still an issue, note that you can also run VS Code on gitpod.io's 60GB RAM servers for free.
thank you -500mb
we just need to add some script above to settings.json?
yes
Shouldn't "file.exclude" reduce memory usage, since some files won't be loaded ?
