I want to hide the vertical line as shown in How to hide/disable VSCode LiveShare "Start Discussion".
However, since I have not started a Live Share session, I do not know how to do this.
I would appreciate it if anyone here could help us solve this problem!
I am a new user here and it doesn't appear I can comment yet, so I am posting this as an answer instead, apologies if it is not applicable or for any confusion: More information on what extensions you're using would be helpful. Do you use the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension? I recently had the same issue you describe (and had not started LiveShare) and after examination I concluded the vertical line related to the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension (which I was not using in practice anyway) and so I uninstalled the aforementioned GitHub extension and that eliminated the unwanted discussion vertical lines. So, if you've been using aforementioned GitHub extension, perhaps the solution relates to that.

After restarting vscode whenever I try to use an autocomplete suggestion from IntelliCode, it also includes the recommended star thing.

I have tried switching to an older version of intelliCode, disabling all my other extensions, switching to a new profile, and resetting my vscode settings.
I have also searched google, but was unable to find anyone else with this problem.
A commit has been pushed to fix this already, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/172616. I would think it'll be in the next Stable Release next week.
Looks like it is a new reported issue from multiple users. See Committing completion in a TS file inserts a star character.
Just filed 01/25/2023. I suggest you upvote and comment if your use case is different than those already presented. And keep an eye on that issue if there is some sort of a fix posted. It should be a simple fix, someone changed the mapping from the suggestion to the actual inserted completion.
[Also incorrectly reported at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/172419 - it is an extension issue so the first link is where to respond.]
I recently came across GitHub copilot which finish the code and also give a short explanation of what is happening in the function, but there is a waiting list for us to use GitHub copilot. So I want to ask is there any more alternative which can do that for us?
The waiting list have been removed now, you can try now.
It's Oct.2022 now and Copilot is not free anymore. There is another open-source alternatives to it called CodeGeeX. The code is available at https://github.com/THUDM/CodeGeeX. Check out the VSCode extension at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=aminer.codegeex
Also, the model weights can be applied and download.
I am used to the focus follows mouse option for years.
In the VSCode editor I want to switch between the integrated terminal and the code writer by simply focusing the cursor on them.
For example in Geany editor:
Does anyone know how to enable focus follows mouse from settings or using any simple hack while trying to move between the code writer and terminal?
The simple answer is it's not possible at the moment. There have been numerous issues raised in the past (#25685, #44214) and they have been closed because "the number of votes ... and duplicate issues" are not high enough. Go out and raise an issue and get others to vote on that issue.
There was a pull request made a couple of years ago that would introduce a focusOnHover setting. This appears to resolve the issue but it has not been accepted and is now a bit stale and needs some work. So you could for VSCode (for yourself), apply the pull request and then build it.
I am keen on this feature as well.
It is now a candidate for the backlog, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93772 (Provide a "focus-follow-mouse" setting)
So upvote it if you want this. It needs 20 votes to move to the backlog.
I have many themes installed in visual studio code. Now and then, I want to be able to look at all the other extensions (everything that is not a theme) so that I might disable one or two.
How can I do this? The documentation shows how to use filters, but I don't see any way to tell it to NOT show something.
This filter shows me all the installed themes:
#installed #category:themes
I've tried using ~ and ! and NOT in various places, just guessing there might be a feature implemented to understand something like that, but they don't work.
This is a know issue, currently at the backlog waiting for development.
You can track it here.
This need has been raised here. Note in the last comment:
#49374 is tracking the feature of having exclusion filters for your scenario of seeing non theme extensions.
Every time when i past some code snippets in Github reply box, it past with weird indentation... which i fix manually every time.. i could possibly indent/format it first in my code editor.. copy and paste directly.. which could work.. however when i am more in a rush.. and copy a block directly from my running code.. it kind of a hassle to format... or even worse when i type code directly there...
is there any browser extension? hide short-cut wizardry that im not aware of in Github to format and indent my reply quickly?
You might want to try: https://github.com/panzerdp/clipboardy, it does look like it keeps formatting not only in GitHub, but also SO and others.
Many other extensions that might be useful here: https://github.com/showcases/github-browser-extensions.
