I love Visual Studio Code, but my initial tries to get [WayBack] GitHub – vscode-restructuredtext/vscode-restructuredtext: reStructuredText Language Support in Visual Studio Code to work partially failed: editing works, but I got a non-descriptive error during preview.
All prerequisites are installed, so I needed to pause that for a while.
I still want it, as out of the box, [WayBack] Markdown editing with Visual Studio Code: Markdown Preview works fine, but for complicated documents I tend to use reStructuredText.
Initial steps were simple, as per [WayBack] reStructuredText – Visual Studio Marketplace and editing is awesome (thanks to [WayBack] GitHub – lextm/restructuredtext-antlr: ANTLR Grammar for reStructuredText).

Since the Git output by default is not shown, here is how to enable it:
[WayBack] Version Control in Visual Studio Code: Git output window
You can always peek under the hood to see the Git commands we are using. This is helpful if something strange is happening or if you are just curious. :)
To open the Git output window, run View > Output and select Git from the dropdown.
Or shorter on MacOS:
- Press
Cmd–Shift–P
- Type
show git output
- Press enter

On MacOS, a long standing wish from many developers has been to open a folder with Visual Studio Code: [WayBack] Mac OS X :: “Open Folder With” VS Code · Issue #1223 · Microsoft/vscode · GitHub.
There are many reasons for wanting this, and other tools can do this too (like Terminal, TextWrangler, Source Tree, Beyond Compare), so I was a bit surprised Visual Studio Code does not have it by default.
After initially being closed, the issue has been open for a while, so I started digging a bit for solutions that are easy to configure or install.
The last one is currently on the top of my list, so I copied and installation instructions, and added a few screenshots to explain the already included video below.

Since I really want to switch most of my SSMS usage to a tool being less resource intensive, as a truckload of my work is just running scripts, not browsing through data: [WayBack] Use the Visual Studio Code mssql extension for SQL Server | Microsoft Docs
This tutorial shows how to use the mssql extension for VS Code. This extension allows you to edit and run Transact-SQL scripts in VS Code.
This will also make it a lot easier to run my code from a Mac.

[WayBack] visual studio code – Does the “editorWhitespace.foreground” workbench.colorCustomizations setting in VSCode actually work? – Stack Overflow
Yes, it does. But after reading [WayBack] vscode-docs/theme-color-reference.md at master · Microsoft/vscode-docs · GitHub: Editor Colors or [WayBack] Visual Studio Code Theme Color Reference you might want to put it in the config straight like this:
see the editor white spaces, enable Toggle Render Whitespace.
editorWhitespace.foreground: Color of whitespace characters in the editor.
However, you need to embed it like this:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorWhitespace.foreground": "#333",
"editorIndentGuide.background": "#333"
}
The embedding makes it work.

I laughed when https://www.google.com/#q=visual%20studio%20code%20indent%20settings%20per%20file%20type got me the first link twice (see below screenshot).
But I was glad that that link to [WayBack] visual studio code – How to set per-filetype tab size? – Stack Overflow.
This one:
In addition, it taught me how to configure the settings.json with md specific settings, which – despite the IDE indicating the JSON is invalid – just works: markdown indentation is now 2 character positions.
"[md]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
}
The search result:

I was looking for a HTML pretty printer (…) but in Visual Studio code, that is called code formatting, which supports many languages out of the box (including HTML) without requiring extensions like Atom.io (see below).
The shortcuts are at [WayBack] How do you format code in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) – Stack Overflow.
For Mac OS X/OS X/MacOS they are (the second one only appears when you have a code selection):
- document:
Shift–Option–F
- selection:
Command–K Command–F

The thread at [WayBack]: Allow for floating windows · Issue #10121 · Microsoft/vscode · GitHub made me discover a few things, which I have commented there.
Reminder to self: find the Windows keyboard shortcuts as well.
Thanks @steinhh for the Cmd–K O keyboard combination. I was not aware of that yet and I am going to use this next week on a multi-monitor system to see how well that works.
Your tip made me found the PDFs below and made me make the lists/screenshots below as well.
Terrific! Thank you, thank you!
The bindings (on Mac) I found with their screenshots:
Cmd–Shift–P: show all commands
Cmd–K O: open current file in new WindowCmd–Shift–N: open a new window
Cmd–K Cmd–R: open keyboard shortcuts reference PDF for current OS in the default web-browserCmd–K Cmd–S: open keyboard shortcuts editor
The keyboard shortcuts editor has a search which can find bindings on the keybinding name itself or the command name:
