I just installed the Visual Studio Code (v1.52.1) extension "Spelling Checker."
Now how do I use the thing?
I searched all the menus for a command to run this extension, or any extension. I asked Google "how to run a VSC extension" and only got matches that tell me how to install an extension. Apparently extensions are just supposed to run themselves.
There's a whole class of extensions for which that makes sense, such as extensions that add enhancements to editor windows. But there's another whole class of extensions, like this one, for which it makes no sense at all.
How do you run an extension?
This is confusing as the answer is spelled out in five-minute videos or is skirted around.
On your keyboard: Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows, Linux, etc.) or under "View" and "Command Palette" opens the Command Palette so you can execute an extension's command such as "Browse Lite" for say https://github.com/antfu/vscode-browse-lite - hopefully, the developers say what the command is.
Note: Cmd+P (macOS) or Ctrl+P will search files by name. The shift is what's needed to launch the extension magic.
Open Visual studio code.
Go to extension option.
Then click on any extension.
After that disconnect your internet.
Then it will prompt for install extension manually.
Then it will ask to locate that .vsc file.
Select that and file and install it.

I have just started with löve because of an internet course I'm on, and I'm using Visual studio code as my editor. The course recommends that I use the "Love2D Support" extension with Visual Studio. It allows me to run the code directly from VS by pressing Command + L.
Although when I do it, VS outputs me this error:
The setting specified in pixelbyte.love2d.path must be an executable file, not a directory. Check your settings.
The path I have input in the settings is /Users/My_Username/Desktop/love.app
I am 100% sure that it is the correct directory. What is the problem?
Thanks for answering!
The actual executable file in Mac is /Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love so put this in your pixelbyte.love2d.path command in vscode and you are good to go.
I am working through the instructions on building VSC for developers (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build-and-run) currently. Right under "Build" it instructs me to go "Go into vscode and start the build task with CMD+Shift+B) since I have a mac. I have gone into the folder in my finder and have pressed this combination of buttons but nothing happens at all. Am I supposed to do this in the terminal or am I missing anything?
It looks like the vscode directory must be opened in Visual Studio Code and a build is performed with ⌘ Command+Shift+B.
Here is an older version of the instructions where it is clearer:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-wiki/blob/2e2d6b0/How-to-Contribute.md#build
It appears that the directory vscode got mixed up with the full application name in a subsequent edit.
I am trying to run Lua directly from VS Code. I installed the Love2D Support extension for this. But the program does not run with Ctrl+L.
Here is where Love is installed on my computer:
These are my settings for the Love2D Support extension:
I don't understand why Love is not working from VS Code with Ctrl+L.
I'm not sure what's happening in VSCode, but you can drag the folder your main.lua file is in and drop it onto LÖVE2D to run it.
The command to run Lua directly from VS Code using the LOVE2D extension is alt + L and
Not ctrl + L which selects the full line.
If the problem proceeds, make sure that LOVE is installed in Program Files because this is where the LOVE2D extension is going to look for LOVE by default.
Alternatively, you can specify LOVE's file path in the LOVE2D extension's settings.
This command won't work for me. I had installed the Visual Studio Keymap, but when I uninstalled that it made no difference. If I open Keyboard Shortcuts and try customizing it to some other keybinding, still nothing. I open the simplest javascript folder/file (folder with a single .js file) to test, simply putting the cursor on either side of the parens in console.log('hi');
Version is 1.28.2 (latest). The only other extensions I have installed are Debugger for Chrome & ESLint.
editor.action.jumpToBracket is what you want for .js files, Ctrl-Shift-\.
The "Go to matching pair" command: editor.emmet.action.matchTag is for html files.
I recently updated Visual Studio Code to a new version (1.7.2) on my Mac.
I am used to open different 'windows' of VS Code at the same time on different projects.
In previous versions of VS Code I could navigate the VS Code open windows via 'cmd+>' (or 'cmd+z', now I do not remember this exaclty).
Now this key combination does not work anymore and, to navigate windows, I need to open the 'Window' menu option and chose from there.
Does anybody know how to navigate among open VS Code open windows on Mac with this version of VS Code?
Thanks in advance
control+w is working for me
It is showing all active windows
cmd+< is not provided by VSCode, it's a global shortcut of OSX witch works for all applications with multiple windows. You can check if its properly set up in Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts
However, there is a command in VSCode to select open windows from a list. Search the command palette for Switch Window, you can bind it to a shortcut yourself, command is called workbench.action.switchWindow.
