Using VS Code for general development

Install the VSC CLI Tool

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-the-visual-studio-code-vs-code-command-line-interface

Editor Settings in settings.json

Notes:

1. Most CodeBlock examples include a trailing , comma to make it easier to copy-paste these examples into the settings.json file.
2. The Basic Structure of the settings.json file is:

   {
     "config.setting.key.property":
   }
   

Show more document tabs in the workbench.editor

    // Increase  number of tabs visible on an editor window
    "workbench.editor.tabSizing": "shrink",

Word Wrap (Soft wrap) Line limits

Global Word Wrap

1. Set globally, but will be superceded by individual grammars
2. Global Settings

// Soft Wrap Max Chars
"editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 100,
"editor.rulers": [100],

Language Specific Word Wraps

Word Wrap: Markdown

// ------------------------ MARKDOWN ------------------------------------
// Markdown Language Specific Settings
"[markdown]": {
  "editor.wrappingStrategy": "advanced",
  // Set max char for soft wrap
  "editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
  "editor.wordWrapColumn": 100,
  "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "comments": "off",
    "strings": "off",
    "other": "off"
  }
}, // END [markdown] lanuage specific settings

Set Indentation Defaults

// ------------ Indentation
// Detect Indentation Based on Filetype
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
// Markdown Extension "Markdown All in One" List Formatting
"markdown.extension.list.indentationSize": "inherit", // Alternate: "adaptive"
"markdown.extension.list.toggle.candidate-markers": [
  "-",
  "*",
  "+",
  "1.",
  "01.", // Added
  "1)",
