You'll learn how to customize VS Code's UI, find and change settings you didn't know existed, use little-known features, and lots more.Includes more than 150 tips across 346 pages (PDF version; EPUB is more variable in page length) with 450+ full-color, high-resolution screenshots and captions with clear instructions on every feature discussed. Nearly all features and screenshots are up to date with the latest version of VS Code as of January 2026.There are tips in here for beginners, but most of the tips are little-known features that even advanced users don't know about. It doesn't matter if you're a Mac or Windows user, almost all the content is applicable to both operating systems. Much of the code examples are focused on front-end technologies (JS, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, etc.) but the concepts are applicable to any language used inside VS Code.Lots of unique content is covered, including: Using the Settings UI Little-known Terminal Tips The Code Snippets feature Editing Keyboard Shortcuts Using Zen Mode VS Code Workspaces Working with Profiles Extension Trust &amp; Security Managing Tabs &amp; Windows Customizing Labels &amp; Buttons Using IntelliSense Accessibility Tips ... and lots more!
