Essential VS Code tips & tricks for greater productivity
<p>Did you know that <strong>73%</strong> of developers worldwide depend on the same code editor?</p>
<p>Yes, the 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey results are in, and yet again, Visual Studio Code was by far <strong>the most used development environment</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Visual Studio Code remains the preferred IDE across all developers, increasing its use among those learning to code compared to professional developers”, survey.stackoverflow.co/2023</p>
<p>And we all know why: it’s awesome.</p>
<p>But are we fully exploring its potential? In this article, we unfold some compelling VS Code features that <strong>enhance productivity</strong> with local source control, animated typing, and rapid line deletion, amongst others. Let us start using them to <strong>achieve our coding goals faster</strong> than ever.</p>
<h1>1. Timeline view: local source control</h1>
<p>The Timeline view gives us local source control.</p>
<p>Many of us know how useful Git and other source control tools are, helping us easily <strong>track file changes and revert back to a previous point</strong> when needed.</p>
<p>So the Timeline view in VS Code provides an automatically updated timeline of important events related to a file, such as Git commits, file saves, and test runs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expand this view to see a list of snapshot of events related to the current file. Here it’s file saves, but also Git commits where the file was staged.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hover over the snapshot item to view the date and time when VS Code made the snapshot.</p>
