Show and tell: Show off your VS Code setup :)

#discuss #beginners #vscode #productivity

Hey DEV community 👋

I primarily use VS Code for working with React/TypeScript and Python.
I could use some help and inspiration for really getting the most out of my VS Code experience!

I'd love to see your setups :)
From pretty themes and icon sets to your favorite plugins for productivity and ease of use.

Wow, I just realized that it looks a lot better with Windows Night Light at 85% which is what I always have it on at.

I went down this route of endless customization of VSCode (and others). Tried some cool note taking plugins too. But in the end I found I was more productive with a basic terminal and neovim using coc.vim. I try to keep things as vanilla as I can, and when I find I do something a lot I make it easier(shortcut key / plugin). Kind of like setting an alias in your shell.

I have nothing fancy. My theme is called "Neon (Deep Dark)" and is theme I derived from a theme called "Neon Vomit" that was in the extensions marketplace. I tweaked a few colors and made the background black.

Theme: Neon (Deep Dark)
Icons: No file icon theme enabled
Font: Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace

Theme:
SynthWave '84 – Gimme that sweet neon glow.

Icons:
vscode-icons – If it's good enough for the Goonies, it's good enough for me.

Font:
Fira Code – The first alternative-to-default font I ever used. Nostalgia.

Extensions:
GitLens – Must have
Dash – Use it all the time to look-up documentation
Snake Trail – Completely useless but something feels off without it
