VSCode Configs

Configs

1. Change font

   (Powerline font to suport my $PS1 with a git character: see .zshrc, and need apt install fonts-powerline/ powerline-fonts-git for arch)

    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "FiraCode Nerd Font Mono"
   

2. Add rulers

    "editor.rulers": [
        120
    ]
   

3. Autosave

   "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
   "files.autoSaveDelay": 5000,
   

4. Exclude watch/ files/ search

   Specify the exclude patterns in "files.watcherExclude"/ "files.exclude"/ "search.exclude"

   "files.watcherExclude": {
       "**/.git/objects/**": true,
       "**/.git/subtree-cache/**": true,
       "**/node_modules/**": true,
       "**/lib/**": true,
       "**/.yarn/**": true,
       "**/tmp/**": true,
       "**/.git": true,
       "**/.svn": true,
       "**/.hg": true,
       "**/CVS": true,
       "**/.DS_Store": true,
       "**/node_modules": true,
       "**/lib": true,
       "**/.yarn": true,
       "**/build": true,
       "**/dist/**": true,
       "**/log/**": true,
       "**/logs/**": true,
       "**/.fdk/**": true,
       "**/venv/**": true,
       "**/*.pyc": true
   }
   

5. Formatters

    // pip install black
    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": ["--line-length", "120"],
   
    // With prettier extension
    "prettier.printWidth": 120,
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    },
   
    // Get config/values available -> $ clang-format -style=google -dump-config
    "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 120 }",
    "[cpp]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-vscode.cpptools"
    }
   

6. Misc

   "extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true, // less popups
   "editor.minimap.autohide": true,
   "editor.tabCompletion": "on",
   "editor.unicodeHighlight.nonBasicASCII": false,
   "editor.minimap.renderCharacters": false, // better performance
   

C++

1. Show string variables in debug

   In debug console, -exec -enable-pretty-printing

   or add "setupCommands": [ { "text": "-enable-pretty-printing" } ] to launch.json

   This says it is already set by default now but was not in v1.66.2

TS/JS

1. Setting prettier as default formatter for js/ts

   "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    },
    "[typescript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "[typescriptreact]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
   

2. Prettier configuration to make code look better

    "prettier.printWidth": 120,
    "prettier.singleQuote": true,
    "prettier.tabWidth": 2,
    "prettier.useTabs": false,
    "prettier.semi": true,
    "prettier.trailingComma": "es5",
    "prettier.arrowParens": "avoid",
    "prettier.endOfLine": "auto",
