For vscode: git-rename – Visual Studio Marketplace

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/26

In vscode, I have installed [Wayback/Archive] git-rename – Visual Studio Marketplace (with source code at [Wayback/Archive] adam8810/vscode-git-rename: Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink using git-mv).

Many people assume that git does recognise rename (or mv) operations by itself. Often it does, but it fails, and when it fails it usually is in a complex situation where it is easy to overlook it did not recognise the rename.

Failing complex situations I have encountered in the past (combined they get worse):

  • rename across several directories
  • first edit, then rename
  • first rename, then edit

So it is better to proactively perform an IDE-assisted git mv operation that informs git of the rename.

Many IDE environments support a built-in rename that keeps git mv in the loop, but Visual Studio Code does not, hence the need for this extension.

It means I agree with the question, disagree with the answer, and agree with the comment in [Wayback/Archive] VS Code ‘git mv’ to preserve file history? – Stack Overflow:

On my list of things to try: Live Share – Visual Studio Marketplace

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/03/14

I need to try [Wayback/Archive] Live Share – Visual Studio Marketplace and get a feel for how it is to live share code: is it a way of working that fits me well?

This installs Live Share for Visual Studio Code:

code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare
code --install-extension MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack

The second extension is for [Wayback/Archive] Live Share Extension Pack – Visual Studio Marketplace, which got released about a year after the first one.

Live Share was introduced in 2017, a period when most of my work was outside the Visual Studio realm, Visual Studio Code was just starting to gain momentum over Atom (which was mul multi-platform editor of choice back then; I wrote about it in a few blog posts), and my then main development environment did not allow live sharing at all. so I missed all this (:

For my reading list:

Uses search queries:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] markdown online co-editing – Google Search
  2. [Wayback/Archive] visual studio code collaborative editing – Google Search
  3. [Wayback/Archive] vscode live share – Google Search

The first query was my initial goal to accomplish, but I rather have the markdown files available off-line, so these did not help:

Some links on the Visual Studio Code terminal and known issues

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/08

For my link archive: some links related to the Visual Studio Code built-in terminal and its’ known issues.

All of the above links started when I looked for [Wayback/Archive] vscode terminal wikipedia – Google Search.

Installing vscode extensions from within the Visual Studio Code terminal was way easier than I anticipated

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/09

Having missed quite a lot of Visual Studio Code releases during my metastasised rectum cancer treatment and recovery, it had become both very mature, but also very reliant of having the right extensions installed.

In that period, the extension marketplace grew remarkably, so I really wanted an easy way to install them from within the inside vscode integrated Windows Terminal.

A while ago I wrote How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? (via: Stack Overflow), which generated a small script with code --install-extension <extension-name> lines so I could executed those from the command-line for Visual Studio installations on new machines.

Boy was I surprised that you can just as well execute them from the [Wayback/Archive] Integrated Terminal in Visual Studio Code as well (:

When doing so, the Visual Studio Code instance around that Integrated Terminal will automatically pick up the new extension.

I found that with a [Wayback/Archive] vscode install extension from within visual studio code console – Google Search and bumping in the video also embedded below the signature: [Archive] VS Code tips — Installing extensions from the command line using –install-extension – YouTube.

The video also showed that the installation syntax can also include the version number like this:

HTML / XML / RSS link checker – Visual Studio Marketplace

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/04

On my list of Visual Studio Code extensions to try (after I change the shortcuts, as direct Alt shortcuts are not a good idea, luckily those are configurable)

[Wayback/Archive.is] HTML / XML / RSS link checker – Visual Studio Marketplace (partly paraphrased):

VSCode extension that checks for broken links in an HTML, XML, RSS, PHP, or Markdown file.

…

Checks currently open file:

  • for broken links in anchor-href, link-href, img-src, and script-src tags in currently-open HTML or PHP file
  • both clearnet and onion (Tor) links
  • for badly-formatted mailto links, and duplicate local anchors (anchor-name, anchor-id)
  • for working HTTPS equivalents of HTTP links

Optionally checks for invalid characters and common mistakes (missing tag content, empty attribute value, more).

Also checks for errors in a small subset of semantic HTML tags (in HTML and PHP files): checks that each page has header, main, footer; checks that each heading is inside a section, article, or aside; checks that each section/article/aside has exactly one heading in it; checks that heading values are nested properly.

…

To see/change settings for this extension, open Settings (Ctrl+,) / Extensions / “HTML / XML / RSS link checker”.

To change the key-combinations for this extension, open File / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts and search for Alt+H or Alt+T or Alt+M or Alt+L.

On my list of extensions to try in vscode: tab nine

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/03

I wrote about Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet in september.

Another productivity extension that is on my list is [Wayback/Archive.is] Tabnine – Code Faster with the All-Language AI Assistant for Code Completion, autocomplete JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Go, Java, node.js, Ruby, C/C++, HTML/CSS, C#, Rust, SQL, Bash, Kotlin, R – Visual Studio Marketplace.

The first thing I thought of when reading this is “oh, wasn’t this the GitHub open source AI code completion plugin controverse in mid 2021?”. It wasn’t. See links below.

Select matching element/rename HTML tag in Visual Studio Code – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/21

I totally missed that in 2019, the F2 key was enabled to rename HTML tags, but it does: [Wayback/Archive.is] Select matching element/rename HTML tag in Visual Studio Code – Stack Overflow:

HTML rename tags
You can now use F2 to rename the opening/closing tag pairs in HTML.
F2 when the cursor is over one of the tags and you will get a little input box with the cursor to input the new tag name and the start/end tags will be replaced with whatever you type upon .
demo of HTML rename tags

[Wayback/Archive.is] Another answer indicates that even more recently, Linked Editing can do the same without even pressing F2. Too bad it is not enabled by default:

No need for extension, this is now cooked into VSCode.
"editor.linkedEditing": true

Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/15

I come from a background of Delphi, Visual Studio and Notepad++ editors that historically have expanded their functionality over decades of releases.

When switching much of my development to Visual Studio Code, which out of the box aims at basic support (which has grown remarkably over the years so it’s way beyond basic now), I decided to review my editing behaviours see if plugins (in vscode speak “extensions marketplace“) would assist me with that.

One of my behaviours I wanted to get rid of is heavily use of keyboard macros, so when doing more web-stuff, I bumped into Emmet (that in the past was called Zen Code).

I bumped into Emmet because I wanted to refactor quite a few bits of html, and embed many sections of text in tags. Normally I would have written a macro for that, but now I did a quick [Wayback/Archive.is] vscode html embed text in element – Google Search and bumped into [Wayback/Archive.is] html – How to do tag wrapping in VS code? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive.is] Alex!)

Since Visual Studio Code has built-in support for Emmet, here are some links so I can quickly find them back:

Hopefully I will now also less rely on user-defined snippets, though they are still available: [Wayback/Archive.is] Snippets in Visual Studio Code

Using Emmet eventually might help me in my blog-writing too, which still is heavily WordPress.com, known for its limited editor, based.

Apparently, my Google Search fu still is good enough to find these kinds of gems (:
