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

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

my previous blog post, I shared my impressions of Remote Development being available in the Insiders build. I'm amazed to see that
the next release will see the release of the feature, albeit in preview form!

The icon has also been updated.
The last time the icon was changed, it caused quite a stir, so I'll take a look at it again in the second half of this article.

Remote Development is now open to the public!

Until 1.34, Remote Development was only available as an insider build, but it's now finally available on the general marketplace

I'm happy that it was released earlier than I expected

However, it is still a preview version, so don't expect it to be stable!

I don't think the entire VM will suddenly lose all of its data, but it's possible that files might not be synchronized..

detail about how to use it my previous article , so although this is a report on the insider build, it seems to be largely the same, so please take a look.

If you search for "remote development" in the Marketplace, you will find the first result. Installing this Microsoft-made extension pack will allow you to install the three necessary extensions at once, so please use it

 

Breadcrumb navigation is now enabled by default

Breadcrumbs are now enabled by default at the top of the editor,
and it seems like VSCode is moving towards breadcrumb navigation.

It's quite useful in some ways, not just for breadcrumbs of content, but also for nice navigation of the contents of the directories and files of the open project. I
often use a consistent namespace and directory structure, so it's now convenient to view and search for classes in the same hierarchy.

However, since the tree view is a familiar UI, it's hard to give it up

If you want to get familiar with breadcrumbs, you only need to remember one shortcut

To focus on the breadcrumb list, press "Shift + Ctrl + ." This will always give you focus on the breadcrumb list, and you can use the cursor keys to move back and forth between the breadcrumbs

One thing breadcrumbs have that treeviews don't is the lack of eye movement

For someone like me who often splits the editor within VSCode and opens two or three windows at once, this is a very convenient solution

 

Terminal now supports 24-bit color

Isn't this good enough? Am I the only one who thought this?

 

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

In my environment, there are four shells:

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

Basically, any one is fine, but the only time you need bash is when you run vagrant up

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

Regardless of what I say, strictly speaking, it seems that "you can now open multiple shells, but you can also set which shell to open the next time you start a new terminal."

In fact, it is a bit of a hassle because you have to go through the steps of selecting a default shell → selecting a shell → launching a shell

 

Merging conflicted commits is now clearly displayed

Merging does not necessarily mean conflicts, but when multiple people are working together it can sometimes be unavoidable

Clever conflicts can be quite frustrating for the person receiving the pull request, but this update adds a feature that allows you to compare the conflicting parts by judging the version that adopts the current state and the version that adopts the update

In many cases, it's easier to copy the source to WinMerge and take the differences, so this kind of feature is actually quite useful

 

The icon has changed (again!)

This is the third icon change, but personally I feel like they've gone for a safe approach this time

The second icon, a fiery, passionate orange, was so eccentric that it was quickly shelved, but it
was being discussed on VSCode's github, so let's take a look.

The issue begins with a witty title that will be obvious to those in the know: "The Icon Journey...Version 2," and we can expect some heated discussion this time around as well!

Let me quote some of the comments

Nice ...

it's great, good job

Loving them ♥

Wow, everyone is giving it rave reviews.
It seems like it was well received this time.

Apparently, the aim of this overhaul is to improve accessibility without changing the color

The stable version and the insider's build of VSCode were the same, with only the color being different, but now that you mention it, there are subtle differences between VSCode and the insider's build other than the color

I think it's a good design that's friendly to people with color vision deficiencies.
It's terrible that they just went for the safe route!

 

summary

This version of VSCode also supports Remote Development, so it looks like it will be a memorable upgrade. The icon has also changed

The regular updates also included many interesting features that make you want to try them out, such as making breadcrumb navigation the default, improving the terminal, and adding features related to source control, so I hope you'll enjoy developing with excitement!

That's all
