How to remove editor match bracket lines in VS Code? - visual-studio-code

I want to remove the distracting match bracket lines below.
The settings that I have used so far are:
{
"editor.renderLineHighlight": "none",
"editor.matchBrackets": "never"
}


On a similar issue:
Below is what I was looking for (removes vertical lines on left):
File: settings.json
Setting:
"editor.guides.indentation": false
Old that does not work anymore:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": false
More details: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_indent-guides


Thank rioV8 for your comments.
Add the following settings:
"bracketPairColorizer.showHorizontalScopeLine": false,
"bracketPairColorizer.showVerticalScopeLine": false


This worked for me:-
open settings.json CTRL + SHIFT + P and type "Open Settings (JSON)"
paste the following code at the bottom:-
"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true,
"editor.guides.bracketPairs": "active",
"editor.matchBrackets": "near",
"editor.guides.highlightActiveBracketPair": false,

vscode is not respecting editor.quickSuggestions setttings

In vscode, I have the following setttings:
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": true,
"comments": true,
"strings": true
},
"[markdown]": {
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": true,
"comments": true,
"strings": true
},
I am debugging this issue for plugin Markdown Notes.
I believe at some point the settings value for editor.quickSuggestions changed from a boolean to the new mapping. In any case, in a document I have the text:
#draft
#d
And this used to autocomplete the tag text immediately, respecting the quickSuggestions preference.
Now, I don't get an automatic autocomplete, BUT I DO get the correct autocomplete values when I triggerSuggest (⌃Space by default).
So vscode DOES know the correct completion values, but it just will not respect the quickSuggestions settting.
Is there some other new setting I need to toggle to get quickSuggestions working correctly?

Maybe you have
{
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": true
}
set to false?

How to set the background color of the Find current line?

I successfully set the background color of the current line of the editor :
{
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
"atomKeymap.promptV3Features": true,
"editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd",
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
"editor.renderLineHighlight": "line",
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#636363"
}
}
Now I am making the Find search ( Ctrl F ). I am surprised that the find line color is not the same as the color I set for the editor current line color ! How to set the Find line color ?

You should take a look at the official documentation. You can try them one by one if you can not figure out which one is your need.

VSCode. How do I remove padding between side bar and editor?

I somehow added padding to the left and right of my editor. Anyone know how I could remove it?
I've played around with view->editor layout but Single mode doesn't do the trick. And switching to the other views and back don't do anything either. I also can't drag the window beyond what is shown below.
my current settings.json, nothing in here should affect it.
{
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
"editor.minimap.enabled": true,
"javascript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled": "always",
"[terraform]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": true
},
"breadcrumbs.enabled": true,
"[python]": {
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.tabSize": 4
},
"editor.renderWhitespace": "none"
}

Seems like it was answered on github. I just wasn't typing in the correct question. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/53778

How to select tab-size in Visual Code Studio for pug lang?

It is possible to set lang-based tabe sizes in VSC like this:
"[sass]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
},
"[html]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4
},
"[javascript]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2
}
But its doesnt work for pug language, where identation is always 4 spaces. It doesnt even overwrite with "editor.tabSize: 2". How do i make another value of tabsize for pug ?

Found a solution:
"[jade]": {
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.tabSize": 2
}
Jade was name of the Pug template before.

Is it possible to configure control + scroll-wheel to increase/decrease zoom in VS Code?

Similar to the default in the Visual Studio editors or Sublime, I would like to use control + scroll-wheel to change the font size / zoom level, rather than control-plus/minus. I did not see any option in the User or Workspace preferences.
Edit from Derek Morin:
If you want this to be the default behaviour, please upvote:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/97137

You can edit settings.json and add this line:
"editor.mouseWheelZoom": true
Or go to settings CTRL + , or File > Preferences > Settings and search for:
mouseWheelZoom

in newer versions :
File -> preferences -> settings -> search for "mouse wheel zoom"

File > Preferences > Settings and search for:
mouseWheelZoom
✅ check this setting
Or,
go to settings CTRL + ,
Or,
Go the edit settings.json and add the below line inside the {parethesis}
"editor.mouseWheelZoom": true
For reference setting.json all preferences

If you are using Autohotkey you can write a script that presses Ctrl + = when you scroll your mouse up with Ctrl and Ctrl + - when you scroll your mouse down while holding Ctrl key as follows:
#IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
^WheelUp::
Send ^{=}
return
^WheelDown::
Send ^{-}
return

In visual studio code :
File -> preferences -> settings -> search for "mouse wheel zoom" then tick the box

The main problem is how VSCode is built, with a Electron frame and Microsoft Monaco Editor which is built with TypeScript and such web techniques. Therefore VSCode behaves exactly like a browser window would do - zooming the whole application including sidebar etc.

On Mac, while pressing the command key, slide two fingers upward to zoom out. Slide downward to zoom in.
