• Peacock extension for colors, especially for separate colors when working on multiple project windows f1 —or— cmd+shift+P — type Peacock random.

• can re-use a VSCode win dow with ‘code .’

• delete current line cmd+shift+K Or maybe I can map keys / key-binding so I can use something like "cmd+d" or something? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_how-to-add-a-key-binding-to-an-action-for-example-add-ctrld-to-delete-lines

• cmd+K, m — set syntax language mode This is useful for a new unsaved file where the language hasn't been set according to the filename extension.

Some helpful VSCode setttings I configure

• highlight modified files (unsaved files)

VSCode Extensions
