Hey guys!
Here's a quick tutorial on connecting VS Code to Godot!

Godot Exec Flags: {project} --goto {file}:{line}:{col}

For any other Linux users here, while VSCode can be installed as a Flatpak, I don't think this works if Godot is installed in that format
I mean, you can probably make it work somehow by giving it the right permissions, but just simply giving it file access to the VSCode executable didn't work for me so I just downloaded the normal binary from the website, which worked perfectly fine and the same as in the video

This was a fantastic help, I spent a few hours trying to figure out why I couldn't open VS code from in the engine just to see my executable path was going to a shortcut, not the actual .exe, and this is the first tutorial that showed how to actually add it and helped me locate it, thank you so much

[nagwarg]

Thanks! And if any of you get an error "Could not create child process" after running this tutorial you have to set VS code to NOT run as an administrator

What i want to note there, we spend over a minute of VS Code preperations, and 1.5s on where to go in the settings.

this is super helpful! i'll be sure to refer this video to my friends

[YulRun]

Thanks, no other tutorial showed setting up the network settings. So got it working properly now.

Think I'll edit in Godot, and then toggle the VSCode only only to refactor. (Although they're currently developing the ability to refactor in the Godot editor, so won't have to use VSCode soon for variable/function renaming, unless ofc you use C#)

Also, what do you use to edit your videos?

Thanks!!! This was super helpful! Much better than Godot 4.1 external code window! :)

excellent video mate! thanks for sharing

OMG thanks bruh worked for my godot 3.5. Didnt understand a thing in the official docs 😂

[FIRWORKFW]

Thank you for making this video. Now I can code in my crappy laptop without it going to the temperature of the sun cause it is trash :D

[SeanMcKenzie]

Does using VSCode mean you can do actual code refactoring (rather than just find/replace like in the Godot Editor)?

[shaugnmarc]

May I ask what editor theme are you using for Godot? Those rounded shapes look really neat.

[hakej]

Do you recommend any specific themes for VSCode for Godot? :)

[siddarth_vader]

Thank you! Also, you sound a bit like Carl Sagan, lol

[oroshi]

hey, i'v done this but the connexion between godot and vs code is very laggy, im on linux, do you have any clue about how i could solve this?

[chetanchandel]

why does your vscode look so elegant?😅 is it just some vscode theme or what?

[MerrStudio]

One thing that vscode is inferior at though is documentation. Weird formatting is one thing, but it just straight up crashes sometimes for some reason. Other than that it's great.

[jodyeclothing]

May I ask what's your vsc code file manager theme ? Looks neeet

[JohnSmith-one]

But you still debug from Godot, right?
I thought maybe I would open Godot and VSCode and use them simultaneously. Do you think it is an ok idea or completely useless?

2:39 If visual studio code came pre installed on your computer when you first got it then what should you do? im having this problem and I cant find the file I installed it with because it came pre installed
