All of them are already installed. Nice work though :)
Awesome! How many total extensions are installed on your system?
Around 75+
But I Don't use all of them at the same time, because they eat RAM. Initially I disable all the extension and I enable it when I need it, It totally depend on the workspace.
Yeah, even I have 60 installed but I don't require them all at once.
Yes exactly, Otherwise vs code beats chrome in terms of RAM consumption.
Oh, I probably need to check that on my machine
Hehe and after all that extensions I still moved over to nvim most of the time
im still thinking either I wanna try vim/nvim or still using vs code. hm
use what's best for your use case
im quite a noob here. will it be okay if you give what kind of use case that is better for which one?
cause, it will take time to get used to vim tho.
If you are a beginner, start with VS code because it's simple and easy to use. When you become quite experienced enough, you can try vim too.
Nice! thanks for the suggestions. Nevertheless, will start using vim sooner or later to try it out!
Great
I think the most important problem of plugins in Visual Studio Code isn't knowing which plugin has which effect. For example, today I used the
??
(nullish coalescing operator) while working with JavaScript. A plugin inserted a space character between characters in this operator when I saved the file. I was able to avoid this effect after opening and saving the file in another editor. I tried all the suggestions in the forums but it didn't work. Someone tell me this is a joke!I used to use import cost too, but now i found that it's will cost a bit seconds to wait the size to calculator. It's kind of slowing down my coding for me.
Maybe it's just for me, do you also has this problem?
Yes, this consumes a lot of memory and the vscode is very slow. I don't reccommend install Import Cost.
Yeah it takes some time to calculate
thanks man :)

Good list I know some of them already and have them installed.
That's great!
Thanks so much for CSS Peek. Its a so useful. I can't believe I have been wasting my life switching between files and searching for css classes like a caveman when this existed.
Thanks! CSS Peek is certainly useful!
Try this:
marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
Numbers 1 & 2 look great, I'll be sure to install this - they'll come in handy.
after looking at my extensions when I added what I need from those, they become 50,
after removing unused ones they become 27, so much less
ErrorLens is quite nice. Now I have inline representation of what's out of order ๐
Awesome extensions, thanks!

I almost didn't bother clicking on this but you actually have some interesting extensions for solo developers.
Glad you found this helpful
Thanks for that! Didn't know about Version Lens, installed and already in use :)

Nice, loving the CSS peek
me too
Very helpful
Thanks!
Love โค๏ธ gitlens...
From the list, only use git lens. Now interested in import cost and version lens
Import cost is useful especially for large projects having too many dependencies and you need to track the size of dependency
Thanks , I need to install 4 of them. I had only git lens.
My most used extension is Turbo console log.
Thanks for sharing
I've used GitLens for a while, it's awesome
I'm really going to try these.
Thanks for sharing
Nice extensions, I only knew 2 of them thanks for telling others I have also now installed them.
Good Work !
Keep it up !
:)
Great!
Very helpful, will try them!
Thanks.

Hi! On the CSS Peek extension I do "CTL hover click" to jump from HTML to CSS selector, but how do you jump back to HTML? It seems that it is only one way.
It's one way only, unfortunately
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful
Thanks for the article! But I have a question, do we really need that import cost extension?
Yeah, because when you are dealing with so many dependencies and packages, you need to keep track of the size of the package because it might affect the performance.
Thanks for sharing.
thanks for the info
Good list
Wow actually a post with extensions that I don't know and isn't a copy / past from another post. Good one.
Thanks Murtuuzaali ๐ 1 and 2 stands out for me ๐
That's why I kept them at 1 and 2 because they are really awesome.
I had GitLens, but not the rest. I will try the others. Thanks for the great information. ๐
