Hi fellow devs,  For my first post, I'm just documenting my VSCode configurations here for... Tagged with vscode, config, tooling, webdev.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

A developer shares their VSCode configurations and extensions, including tips for better development experience.

My VSCode Config

<blockquote>
Duplicate selection or line - keyboard shortcut for duplication (cmd/ctrl+d)
</blockquote>
This functionality is native in VSCode: shift + opt + up/down
I recommend not overwriting existing shortcuts. cmd + D is a really handy shortcut to multiselect multiple occurences of the same selected text within a file, and allows you to e.g. quickly change a variable name with multiple references. <a href="https://dev.to/codepo8/quick-vs-code-tip-skip-selections-when-using-ctrlcmd-d-36me" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Demonstration can be found here</a>

Showcases a few cool VSC extensions, check in the comments of the post for additional ones!

Why does this have 176 upvotes? We all have custom configurations with many extensions, some arguably way more useful than these.

should i share my neovim configs?
