Lots of new features this time! Visual Studio Code 1.10 released!

Hello.
I'm Mandai, in charge of Wild on the development team.

The latest version of Visual Studio Code, 1.10, has been released.
There are a lot of new features this time, and the new and easy-to-understand features of Sublime Text have finally been implemented, and I'm excited!

 

Finally, the mini map is here!

Although it is a preview version, a minimap is finally included!
Setting "editor.minimap.enabled" to "true" will cause the minimap to be displayed to the right of the editor.

I enabled it right away and started using it, and it seems to be working fine.

The minimap also reflects the syntax highlighting settings for the main text, so I think it's pretty easy to see.
It seems that the size of the minimap cannot be changed, so I look forward to future updates!

 

Publication of official repository for Linux version

In the release notes, it was written quite far down, so I moved it up to the top, but I think it's quite a bit of information for Linux version VSCode users.

Finally, repositories for Debian and RedHat distributions have been released, and you can now update VSCode using the apt and yum commands.

Until now, Linux users had no choice but to reinstall the latest version of the package from the homepage, so it's great that Linux users now have an easy way to update.

I feel a little disappointed that VSCode is not automatically updated when you start it like in the Windows version, but I think this is a good thing in terms of Linux culture.

 

Supports drag and drop of selections

Although it is limited to the same editor, it is now possible to move the selected range to another location by dragging and dropping.

This couldn't be done.
It feels kind of strange though.

 

Copy and paste with syntax highlighting

When copying and pasting syntax-highlighted code, if the software you are pasting also supports text color settings, you can copy and paste the syntax-highlighted code.

If you paste into an application that does not support text colors, such as Notepad, the color information will not be pasted.

The information copied includes text color, font, text size, and background color.

 

Automatic generation of JSDoc

A feature has been added that automatically inputs the JSDoc template for JS files.

This will automatically set the function argument to @param by entering "/**" on the line immediately before the function.

It will be easier to write JS comments!

 

There are others too

There are also many other minor updates, such as the addition of keyboard shortcuts for the file explorer and task screen, improvements to debugging, and the ability to open URL links from command line tools.

Enjoy a comfortable coding life with VSCode, which has become even easier to use!
