visual studio code surround with extention can not find surround.custom snippets - visual-studio-code

The first time I use surround with after starting vs code, I can find the surround.custom scripts that I created, as indicated in the next image
After I use one of those custom surround with scripts successful, If I try to use again one of those custom surround with scripts, vs code does not display them anymore.
To fix that, I restart vscode. So I have to restart vscode multiple times to use custom surround scripts multiple times.
That issue started a few months ago, before that I was able to use custom scripts multiple times without any issue.
I am using vscode version 1.59.0 and SURROUND extension version 1.2.2. I tried earlier versions, and faced the same issue.
Any suggestion on a fix for that issue?

Apparently, that is fixed if the following checkbox is unchecked
alternatively, settings.json file could be modified manually. The following element should be added
"surround.showRecentlyUsedFirst": false

VS Code issues on save

This problem is very weird to describe...
Sometimes null characters are added to the end of the open document.
Other times lines are deleted from the end of the document.
I feel like these must be related in a way.
I cannot reliably reproduce the error. But it seems to be connected to when I save the document since it happens much more frequently when autosave is enabled.
Installed extensions are:
Python,
Jupyter,
GithubCopilot,
R
The problem appears as soon as the jupyter extension is enabled.
The funny thing is I have the exact same setup on my desktop with absolutely no problems.
I tried removing visual studio code and the files created in the following folders:
%APPDATA%\Code and %USERPROFILE%.vscode - along with the other extension files like .jupyter.
Reinstalled everything.
Same problem.
You may install the Prettier extension. Prettier would suggest you add a blank line at the end of files so it may prevent cutting the final line in your saved files. I usually use this method.
You can find it on VS Code Marketplace or the documentation.

VS Code - command 'emmet.expandAbbreviation' not found

Emmet Abbreviations are not working for me in VS Code. I looked up solutions, and added "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true to my settings.json file.
When I added it, every time I pressed tab to indent it says "command 'emmet.expandAbbreviation' not found".
It stops showing that once I remove the line.
Additionally, there is no syntax coloring or suggestions in HTML files. I tried to fix it by adding "files.associations": {"*.html": "html"} but that didn't work either.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I had this issue too, but I simply restarted VS Code and that actually solved the problem!
I had the same issue as well and could not find much help.. but what fixed it for me was using a previous version.. so something with the never version might not work with my settings I guess (and some them I can't change like my Mac OS..;-).. as my mac is 2015 edition).. Anyways if you are still having this issue.. this link is what worked for me..

Download an earlier version and you should be fine...
I simply commented out "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true then it started working.
After trying a lot of different things (including re-installing vscode) I got desperate, disabled all of my extensions, reloaded vscode, and then reinstalled my key extensions. I didn't figure out which extension may have been causing the problem, but that did get it working again.
I solved it by re-enabling the emmet extension again. Not sure when it has been disabled.
Open the built-in extensions explorer (direct command: Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions), scroll down to find the emmet extension. For me it was disabled, and I had to open the context menu and click Enabled.
I recently encountered this problem after a VS Code update. I searched for disabled extensions and saw that, to my surprise, some 2/3 of my extensions have been disabled. I manually enabled one which seems to have triggered something because within seconds all these extensions (except those I actually had disabled some time ago) were live again.

problem in flutter widgets not generating fully in vscode

whenever to generate and select widgets for example Text widget it comes incomplete like "Text" instead of "Text()". i have tried to uninstall and reinstall Vscode but it is still doing the same. i am using vscode 1.52.1
It sounds like you're probably using the LSP Preview which didn't have this functionality until recently. If you're using a recent dev build, you should be able to get it back by enabling the dart.completeFunctionCalls setting.
#2823: A new setting dart.completeFunctionCalls will cause code completion on functions/methods to include parentheses and argument placeholders for required arguments.

VS Code cursor jumping to bottom

Why does my cursor jump to the last line of code when I create new tags? For example, when I type a comment in HTML, as soon as I type the !, it jumps to the bottom. What setting do I have to change to prevent this from happening? It is very annoying. I am just starting to use VS Code so sorry if this is a really simple fix.
I had a similar issue. The Flow Language Support extension was causing it. I disabled it, and then the issue was gone.
I had the same issue when I first started using vscode.
Explanation
Generally, the issue is caused by an extension of some sort that is messing with your IDE. Like the extension is trying to do its job but either there is a conflict with other extensions or vscode settings or that's how it works.
More specifically, I found the issue was caused by the the HTML, CSS, JS formatter extension.
Solution
If you have that extension, try disabling it and restart vscode. if the issue is fixed then you may leave it disabled or uninstall it. If it is not solved repeat the process with other extensions, especially those that format your code, until you find the culprit and remove it.
Also i got this type of issue.The solution is just disable your auto save it will work.
If you're an Angular developer, maybe consider disabling Angular Essentials Extension by "John Papa". Then restart VS Code.
That worked for me after several frustrations.

VS Code - changing tab disables extensions. What am I doing wrong?

Using Visual Studio Code I have installed a few extensions (like Guidelines showing vertical dotted lines between pairs of matching brackets). When I start VS Code I can see all my extensions working fine in the Editor window.
However, when I switch to another tab within VS Code, I no longer see the Guidelines or evidence of any extension working in the new editor tab. Worst of all, when I then switch back to my original tab, all the guidelines etc that were there a few seconds ago are gone!
To fix the issue I have to restart VS Code. This can't be right! Has anyone hit the same problem?
I have tried uninstalling VS Code where it warns me some components could not be uninstalled and I have to do them manually. It doesn't tell me which. When I then reinstall, the extensions are visible (without me reinstalling them) but again I hit the same issues as above.
Please help?
Seems like having too many extensions installed, or perhaps one that is misbehaving behind the scenes, causes this problem. Reduce the number of installed extensions. Use Help->Developer Tools -> Console to see if there are any messages relating to the Extensions server
