Hey Ian, the stackoverflow Link (windows) didn't work in my case. Instead I used [C:\Users\{user name VS

[abhishekkansal]

On Ubuntu, I found it in the usr/share/code directory. You can use "whereis code" command to know the location of VS Code

For those on linux, i'm on manjaro btw, the visual studio code file path for me is ("code" in the file path is the visual studio code folder on my system, yours might differ.)The file name is html.tmLanguage.json now just right click on it and select edit as administrator. A native text editor with the right privileges opens and from there you should be able to edit and save it. cheers!

Hey Ian, I have found the file html.tmLanguage, and I even added paperscript but it does not give me the same result as the above video. I have even asked this on udemy Q/A. Please help me out??

on windows it worked for me
first step=>>C:\Users\yourusername -> then you need to enter AppData, as default you can't see the folder so you need to go to the windows ribbon and click view -> show hidden.

second step VS

Hi Ian it did not work in my end. I followed the video above and it did not work. I am using macbook pro.

This is crazy, we used a text editer to make changes to a text editer ;o;

[pavankumar-zkvd]

Thank you Ian ! Will it work for other js libraries?

For windows, you can find the file here:
This PC/Local Disk (C:)/Users/{name of your VS

Make sure you have selected "Show Hidden items" otherwise you won't find App data folder.

Hey Ian,
I was wondering how I can randomize the mongoose paginate request from your code with node course.
is there a query paramater that you can pass to:
cont posts = await Post.paginate({}, {
page: req.query.page || 1,
limit: 20
})
in order to completely randomize what will be given on each page? Thanks.

1 tip if you dont know where to find that file in your computer just search in your PC file "Microsoft VS Code" and then follow like Ian (in Win10)
