i'm trying to indent my code in visual studio code. I searched and i found that ctrl + F + K should be work, but it doesn't. I tried cmd + k + f too, but it still not working. I hope you can help me!

I want to indent a specific section of code in VSCode

I read How do you format code in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) post that gives shortcuts to indent the whole code but it doesn't work when selecting a specific section of code.

I tried ctrl+shift+F after selecting some line in my code but the whole file is indented. I'm on Windows with VSCode Insider 1.8.0. Any help is appreciated.

I'm wondering if I can refer to another snippet within a snippet in VSCode user defined snippet.

Say I have

"Test1": {
        "prefix": "snippet_test1",
        "body": 
            "something"
}

and is there a way to insert snippet_test1 in another snippet like

"Test2": {
        "prefix": "snippet_test2",
        "body": 
            "${1:snippet_test1}"
}

Now snippet_test2 just outputs snippet_test1 instead of the content of snippet_test1.

I want to practice some computer graphics using opengl. Though, I have visual studio 19 installed, I want to write my code on visual studio code, to learn how the things are done manually.

This is how I setup my project. I downloaded the freeglut 3.0.0 MSVC Package, and copied the folders include and lib to my project folder.

I copied this code, for testing if program is compiled correctly.

This is my project folder structure:

.vscode
include
lib
main.cpp // test code

// c_cpp_properties.json
{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",
            "includePath": [

            ],

                "_DEBUG",
                "UNICODE",
                "_UNICODE"

        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

// tasks.json

    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "cl.exe build active file",
            "command": "cl.exe",
            "args": [
                "/I",
                "${workspaceFolder}\\include",
                "/Fe:",
                "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
                "${file}",
                "${workspaceFolder}\\lib\\freeglut.lib"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$gcc"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

When I build the project or try to compile from command-line using the command:

cl /I .\include\ .\main.cpp .\lib\freeglut.lib 

This is the build output:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.23.28106.4 for x86

main.cpp
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 14.23.28106.4
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

/out:main.exe
main.obj
.\lib\freeglut.lib

My problem is that main.exe is not running. From command-line, it shows no output. When opened from file explorer, it gives me the error:

I want to change the background color of input in settings. I tried doing "input.background": "#1D1F22". But it's not working. Search bar in settings does reflect the new background. However, the any of the input in settings won't change the background color.

I am using cl.exe in Visual Studio Code. I run this command to compile my program:

cl /EHsc program1.cpp

It creates two files:

program1.obj
program1.exe

I do not have any use for the .obj file, so how to compile directly from .cpp file to .exe file?

I created a .net core project with Visual Studio on a local computer.

Now I want to debug it on the server computer(Windows Server 2012R2).

I have to do it like this for the project has used a third-party API which only can work one a formal URL but not localhost.

Therefore, I copy the project to the server computer and use the VSCode to attach the process.

However, when the breakpoint invokes, VSCode reports this error:

Well, on the local computer the project is store in g:\Github\SI-Customservice\SI-Customservice\, but why it still tries to access the path while on a different computer?

I think there must be a variable saving the path in the project but I can not find it.

And also, I don't want to modify the path I store on the local computer.

How can I solve it? Thank you.

Using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, how do I duplicate a line of code and then move it up and down? (Similar to Sublime's cmd+shift+d behaviour)

It's a feature that I use constantly, and am struggling using Visual Studio Code without it.

I want to use a custom python interpreter, which you can do by adding to python.pythonPath, as seen in the image below. However, I thought that there would be an option so that I could add an interpreter to the list of available interpreters that you can see in the below, so that I can easily switch between them, without the need to go rooting around in my user/workspace/folder settings.

Is there any way to add to the list as opposed to using python.pythonPath to override what is currently shown in the bottom left?

When i run the following code the error is generate.I had try by install same architecture X64-bit as my operating system and also install X32-bit . But it again gives me a error

voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
print(voices[0].id)
engine.setProperty('voice',voices[0].id)

Visual Studio Code gets the following error:

cannot open source file "QtWidgets/qtwidgetsglobal.h" (dependency of "QApplication")C/C++(1696)

I have a CMake project which compiled and built successfully, but it seems that Intellisense doesn't work.

I have this directory in a path which contains qtwidgetsglobal.h:

/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Headers

And there is another thing:

Directory /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework contains directory Headers and strange executable QtWidgets I was assumed to include -I/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework because QtCreator has both /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework and /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Headers but nothing worked.

Actually Visual Studio Code seems to ignore if both directories /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework and /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.13.1/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Headers specified.

Any suggestions how to enable Intellisense to work with Visual Studio Code.

Once VSCode autocompletes fine, once it does not complete my text.

I would like VSCode to autocomplete for example if I write an Array, I would like to show the available methods for arrays (JavaScript).

Also can someone tell me what I need to download to autocomplete the JSX tags, too (in React)?

when i install vscode by default php use WampServer and not xampp, in xampp php version is 7.3 i want to use this version and not php 5 How i can change setting of vscode from php in wampserver to php in xampp? note: i dont want to use wampserver ! only xampp.

That is as a feature automatically enabled, but after a few minutes of horizontal scrolling I somehow get switched so that my horizontal scroll starts going through a single line at the time. How can I be sure that my horizontal scroll will always pan the entire document?

I am using Python with VSCode, and if I use Cmd+Shift+P and type Run Code, it runs the code with Python2 even though I have specified it to use Python3. I have read this tutorial: How to force VSCode to use Python 3 instead of Python 2? but I do not understand how to change it. (and I can't comment because I don't have enough reputation yay) Could anyone help? Thanks!

Maybe it could be related to the fact that the mini terminal at the bottom runs "python -u " instead of "python3 -u "? Does anyone know how to change that?

I'm trying to turn off lint warning for my eslint at VS code.

My code is contains.

console.log('blabla..');

eslint said as below.

 error  Unexpected console statement                      no-console

Even though already add no-restricted-syntax at my .eslintrc.json, no fixed.

Here is my .eslintrc.json

What did I mistake?

I have 2 Visual Studio Code instances with two different projects.

Is there a way to make VS Code instances' themes different from each other depending on the project?

I am not good with RegEx but i was doing good with semi-complex expression combinations while using http://buildregex.com/

However these expressions like this simple example: (?:b_)(?:.*)(?:\ \=\ \{)

(which would find stuff like b_somename = {)

are not working anymore and im curious if there is an option or settings.json entry to use the old logic without a rollback.

Thanks in advance

How do we create a workspace in Visual Studio Code? I see File menu command to open, add a folder to and save a workspace but nothing to create one.

The questions How to create workspace in VS code and How to Create a VSCode Python Workspace? are specific to Python. I am asking how to create a generic workspace.

The question What is a 'workspace' in VS Code? provides some explanation of what they are but it is not clear how to create them.

I am using Visual Studio Code and creating a React App. I understand that Vsc comes with Emmet but it does not work with my React App. I have tried putting the following code in settings.

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"javascript": "javascriptreact",
"xml": {
  "attr_quotes": "single"
 }
 },
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true,
