Configuring VSCode To The Next Level

VSCode is the most popular code editor, and there are many exciting extensions in it's ecosystem that can unlock new found customisation abilities on how it looks and functions. In this video I give a walkthrough of my personal VSCode setup and I also show you how Neovim can integrate within it to give you the best of both worlds.

This did not look like a first video. The quality was top and your walkthough the setup and settings was very well done. I hope you make more videos in the future.

Hey Man! Would love to see your video, on all other extensions you use and what you are doing with your terminal!! I have already implemented your entire vs code structure and learned so much in process! Thanks a ton for making me feel confident with vs-code setting files! Keep up the good work!

I'm a neovim user but I can't deny that your vscode looks awesome, great work man 🔥

Had a similar setup for about 2 years, super minimal yet highly "neovimized". Loving it!

That is one of the coolest vscode setups I have seen. Its like vscode and neovim had a baby.

I greatly appreciate this. Exactly what I wanted for my own setup as well: the low-hassle batteries-included experience of VSCode, with the visual simplicity and text editing power of Neovim. One additional customization I made for my own setup was adding these lines to completely eliminate tabs (if I want another editor I split the view; no reason to leave stuff open if I'm not actively looking at it).

"files.autoSave": "onFocusChange"
// Only "clean" editors can be automatically closed by the workbench editor limit feature

true,
true, // allows splits
1,
"workbench.editor.showTabs": "single", // prettier

This is the exact kind of configuration I was looking for vscode

Very good for a first video. I'll definitely be copying your setup except for the UI stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Duuude... this is definitely one of the most useful videos I've ever seen

i have been looking for this kind of setup for a while now and thank you for explaining each line in the config.

After this video I switched from nvim to vscode, thanks!

[bakermrad]

BTW thanks to this video, I found about your amazing project (Noodle), and it looks really interesting, a free productivity app is always nice. And being Ahmed even made it better. which you all the look man, and diffenetly gonna keep and eye on the project.

First video? Very helpful content and well delivered! Love your VSCode config and will definitely take it as an "inspiration" to tweak my own. Thanks for sharing!

[zhangkevin]

I hope your next video will show us how to configure VS Code step by step.

Fantastic first video and super valuable content. Definitely stealing some of these configs!!!

[pratiktiwari]

learned so many new things my setup looks dope now

[koxafis]

Similarly to yours, I have also configured the editor borders to a pastel/catpuccine like colors. And atop of that I also made a small C program to update the colors by rotating their hue! And it looks awesome!

[brayan_joan]

Thank you so much Ahmed, now i've more desire for being on vsc more time than 8 hours lmao

[yiannis_p]

Really cool video and super high quality! Can’t wait for more!

Really, I am very happy to see your video and see you.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for knowing that you can learn me your language and your code.
please, share me with the next video.
