A few days ago, Microsoft released a new version of their Visual Studio Code (VSC) text editor for Linux. In this article, we’ll take a quick look at the important changes since the last release and how they compare to other editors.
Visual Studio Code is an open source text editor available for Linux, OS X and Windows. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control and GitHub, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It is also customizable, so users can change the editor’s theme, keyboard shortcuts, and preferences.
The version 1.1 update is mostly about stability and performance. This update features a smarter auto-update mechanism that is less interruptive to the user while they are working in the application. The new IntelliSense engine has been rebuilt to be both faster and more accurate than before with JavaScript and TypeScript code completion. Additionally, it now supports JSX/React snippets in JavaScript files and allows users to surround a selection with quotes or brackets by pressing Ctrl+’ or Ctrl+Shift+’.
The latest release also adds more accessibility improvements to the UI with better support for screen readers on Linux and improved keyboard navigation across all platforms.
However, this release does not include any significant new
This month’s release of Visual Studio Code for Linux (version 1.36) was a major update! The first thing you need to know about this release is that it’s much faster than previous versions, especially if you’re running an older machine. Plus, the new version has better support for high resolution displays, which makes things look sharper.

It’s been quite a while since Microsoft released Visual Studio Code for Linux, and I’ve been using it on Ubuntu and other distros ever since. Recently, I’ve been reading about all the changes in the latest stable release of VS Code (1.0) and decided to try it out.
In this article, I’ll take you through some of the most important changes that I found noteworthy in the new version. I’ll also share what I think about them, so let’s get started!

The first thing that caught my attention was the new colour theme. Earlier, there were only two options available by default: Light and Dark. But now you can also select between three different kind of themes: Light, Dark and High Contrast.
Visual Studio Code 1.20 is now available, with support for multi-root workspaces, Linux ARM builds, and more. Here’s a look at what’s new in Visual Studio Code 1.20 for Ubuntu users.
Visual Studio Code is a free and open source code editor from Microsoft that has gained popularity over the past two years. It’s available for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
This update takes advantage of several community contributions by adding new features that include:
Multi-root workspaces: You can now split your single workspace into multiple projects (folders). This is a great option if you are working on several projects at once or for larger projects that you want to separate into smaller parts.
Linux ARM builds: Visual Studio Code now ships ARM binaries for Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions. This will allow VSCode to run on low-powered devices such as Raspberry Pi running Linux.
New settings editor: The user settings editor has been updated with a new tree view layout and search bar so it’s easier to find the right setting to adjust.
There are a lot more changes in this release that you can read about in the Visual Studio Code 1.20 release notes.

Microsoft improved the experience with the latest release of VSCode. The May 2019 update has some interesting updates including a new settings editor UI, better extension recommendations, and more.
One of the biggest changes is that VSCode now automatically recommends extensions based on what you’re doing in the editor. It also shows recommendations from other developers working on similar projects. These recommendations are also available in your native language. You can disable this feature if you prefer not to see these recommendations or set it to only show recommendations for your current workspace:
“extensions.showRecommendationsOnlyOnDemand”: true
You can also see all recommended extensions at once by going to File > Preferences > Recommendations:
