Personal VSCode extensions and settings

VSCode Extensions and Settings.md

by Samuel Nitzsche

General information

These are my personal preferences for extensions and settings. If you don't like some of them, just don't use them and if you just want only specific extensions and settings you can find them below :)

Under some extensions are code blocks. These are suggested settings and have to be copied into the settings.json of VSCode if you would like to use them. Also all extensions are listed with their id.

This can be done by pressing CMD + SHIFT + P and then search for Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)

All extensions and settings combined

Below i will list all settings combined and the extensions as install command
