Remote Development is finally here! The icon has changed again! Visual Studio Code 1.35 released!

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

my previous blog post, I talked about how Remote Development became available with Insider's Build and how it felt in action.
Although it is a preview version, expanded functions will be released in the release immediately after that!

Furthermore, the icon has also been updated.
The last time the icon changed, it caused quite an interesting uproar, so I'll take a closer look at it later this time as well.

Remote Development is now open to the public!

Until 1.34, Remote Development was only available for insider builds, but it is finally available on the general marketplace.

I'm really happy that it was released sooner than I expected.

However, it is still a preview version, so don't expect stability!

I don't think the entire VM's data will suddenly be blown away, but it might happen that the files are out of sync.

how to use it in detail the previous article , so please take a look at it as it is a report from Insider's Build, but it doesn't seem to have changed much.

If you search for "remote development" in the Marketplace and install the extension pack made by Microsoft that comes up first, you can install the three necessary extensions at once, so please use it.

 

Breadcrumb navigation is now enabled by default

Breadcrumbs are now enabled by default to appear at the top of the editor.
Directionally, navigation in VSCode seems to be breadcrumb-based.

It's quite convenient, and it's very convenient that it not only shows breadcrumbs of content, but also provides good navigation of the contents within the directories and files of the open project.
The namespace and directory structure are often unified, making it convenient to view and search for classes in the same hierarchy.

However, since the tree view is a familiar UI, it is difficult to abandon it.

If you want to get familiar with breadcrumbs, just remember one shortcut.

Shift + Ctrl + . to focus on the breadcrumb trail. Just by doing this, you can change the focus to the breadcrumbs at any time and move back and forth on the breadcrumbs using the cursor keys.

What Breadcrumbs has that Tree View doesn't have is the lack of eye movement.

For someone like me who often splits the editor and opens two or three editors in VSCode, this was very convenient.

 

Terminal now supports 24-bit color

Isn't it better now? Am I the only one who thought that?

 

You can now open multiple shells at the same time (Windows only)

In my environment, the following four shells exist.

1. Command Prompt
2. PowerShell
3. WSL Bash
4. Git Bash

Basically, you can use either, but the only time you need to use bash is when you want to do vagrant up.

Since it takes a long time to start the VM, I would like to log in via SSH using "vagrant up && vagrant ssh".

I don't care what I say, but technically speaking, ``You can now open multiple shells, but you can now set which shell to open the next time you start a new terminal.'' looks correct.

In fact, it's a bit tedious because you have to go through the steps of selecting a default shell, selecting a shell, and then starting a shell.

 

Easy-to-understand merging of conflicting commits

Conflicts are not inevitable when merging, but sometimes they are unavoidable when many people are working together.

If you create a clever conflict, it is possible to make the person receiving the pull request start screaming, but there is a function that allows you to diff the conflicted parts of this update by lining up the version that adopts the current state and the version that adopts the update. It has been installed.

For some reason, it's easier to understand if you copy the source to WinMerge and take the differences, so I'm glad to have this feature.

 

The icon has changed (again!)

This is the third time I've changed the icon, but personally I feel like they've done it safely this time.

The second-generation icon, a fiery and passionate orange, was so unusual that it was instantly killed and shelved, but it
was being discussed on VSCode's github, so let's take a look.

The issue begins with the clever title "The Icon Journey...Version 2", which is understandable to those who know the issue, and I'm looking forward to a heated discussion this time as well!

Let me quote some of the comments.

Nice....

it's great, good job

Loving them ♥

Oh, everyone is raving about it.
It seems like they were accepted easily this time.

Apparently, the purpose of this update is to improve accessibility without changing the colors.

The stable version and Insider's build of VSCode also had the same shape except for the color, but if you ask me, there are subtle differences between VSCode and Insider's build other than the color.

I think this is a good design that is friendly to people with color blindness.
It's too bad to have put it together so safely!

 

summary

From this version, VSCode also supports Remote Development, so it seems like it will be a memorable update. The icon has also changed.

The regular updates included default breadcrumb navigation, improvements to the terminal, additions to features related to source control, and many other fun features that made you want to try them out, so I hope you can enjoy development with excitement!

That's it.
