Visual Studio Code 1.20 has been released, changing the maximum file size that can be saved in VS Code!

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

the last releaseof Visual Studio Code (VS Code) 1.20, but with all the minor fixes and added features, the number of updates is quite substantial.

This time too, I would like to introduce some of the fixes and additions that I personally found interesting

 

Multiple file selection is now possible in Explorer

This makes things like batch deletion much easier.
Currently,Shift　+ Click" and "Ctrl it seems to support

With this new feature, the previous behavior of opening files in a new tab group using "Ctrl + Click" has been discontinued. This behaviorAlt has been moved to

Also, regarding Explorer, it seems they've added an option to open files with a double-click (the default is a single click), but they said, "We've made it usable in most tree views and list views, but there might be some places where it's not working, so we'd appreciate any feedback!"

 

The simple but useful "Save with administrator privileges" feature is now available

In Windows, when editing a hosts file, it was common to open Notepad with administrator privileges, but from now on you will be able to edit it from VSCode as well

In Windows, for some reason, you'll be prompted for permission to make changes from the "Windows Command Processor."
This is a workaround to make changes in administrator mode from VSCode that isn't open in administrator mode, so it seems suspicious, but I think it's safe to assume that this is not a problem.

If you need to edit it frequently, you can make it easier to access by registering "C:¥Windows¥System32¥drivers¥etc" in your multi-root workspace

 

I couldn't save files larger than 256MB!

I didn't know that!
The disk writing implementation has changed and the limit has been removed, so it seems like it's now okay to manage all source code in a single file.

 

"Smart Case Search" has been implemented, which may not be obvious to Windows users

Windows users tend to be careless about the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters, but they are actually different characters

Smart Case Search is a function that changes the search target depending on the first character type

• If the first letter is uppercase, the search is case-sensitive
• If the first letter is lowercase, the search ignores case

It seems to be something like this

 

Images can now be scaled

Editing isn't possible, unfortunately.
Click to zoom in, and click while holding down the Control key to zoom out.

It seems that zooming in and out with the mouse wheel is not supported

 

The minimap can now be positioned to the left

When I saw the comment "The minimap is a nuisance," I was a little shocked to learn that some people feel that way, but when I tried moving it to the left, it felt like there were scroll bars on both sides, so I thought I'd keep using it like this for a while

The main reason I use the minimap is that the scrollbar is so thin that I'm terrible at hovering the mouse cursor over it. I
've been using PCs for years, but my mouse skills just haven't improved at all.

 

The Diff editor now supports the option to ignore whitespace

Diff tools usually have options to absorb differences in whitespace and line break codes, making them easy to use

 

Improved debugging support in multi-root workspace environments

To be honest, after using it, I found it to be quite rough, so I stopped using it immediately, but it seems to be steadily improving

In a multi-root workspace environment, the current specification does not allow you to write a launch.json that launches related applications located in multiple directories at the same time, so a specification has been added to absorb this into the code-workspace file

I've tried writing a launch.json file that could start a client and server, or a group of web servers with different roles, all at once, but I remember it not working and I gave up. It turns out it wasn't even possible in the first place.
That project is already finished, so I don't need it right now, but it's an interesting feature, so I'll keep it in mind.

Other debugging-related changes include the introduction of an option to attach a debugger to each clustered process in the node.js cluster module, and the ability to select the node.js runtime even in nvm environments

 

Recommends extensions for unknown file types

In VSCode, you can install extensions to enable syntax highlighting and other features for files that are not supported by default, but it seems that VSCode will be more aggressive in making recommendations in the future

 

summary

This has happened before, and I think it will continue to happen often, but reassigning shortcut keys can sometimes change the shortcut keys you've been using

Since there are a huge number of shortcuts registered,Ctrl + k" and "Ctrl + swhy not take a look at the shortcut key list by pressing
I hope that the shortcuts in the shortcut key list will never be changed.

This time, the release notes contain some very detailed content, as well as many improvements that I haven't mentioned in this article, such as the extension authoring environment, which are areas I don't usually deal with.The English is surprisingly easy to read, so I highly recommend taking a look at the English release notes

using the actual editorvideo where someone is trying out the latest update. The video is easy to understand just by watching the visuals, so please check it out.

 
That's all
