vs code: incredibly laggy terminal (on mac) - visual-studio-code

using the latest vs code, on a new installation, with only 1 plugin (which i know not to be causing the problem, since i have repeated the whole thing with another plugin; same issue) on a mac also using the latest catalina os.
issue:
writing a couple of pages (2 or 3) to the terminal, either from the terminal itself or from within the plugin, the terminal becomes unbearably slow, scrolling up or down freezes it entirely.
i found some previous links talking about this issue, but they are with older versions of vs code, and the responses have always been "this is now fixed in version xxx".
question:
is there some general setting in vs code that will prevent this?
or do you just have to wait for the next "updating", the next "breaking", the next "updating", etc?

Try this, now my terminal works faster also in Big Sur:
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Code\ Helper\ \(Renderer\).app

vscode with neovim doesn't save file on :w command

I'm using Ubuntu Xenial (yes I know it's out of date, I'm going to upgrade it soon), neovim 0.6.0 (which apt tells me is the latest version), and vscode 1.60.1. Until recently could save files with the :w command, but all of a sudden when I use that command nothing happens. It probably happened when my version of vscode was updated, but I'm not sure. Is there a setting somewhere that controls this, or could something have overridden it? Googling it shows fairly old results, and since it was working a few weeks ago I'm not sure how helpful those ones are.
Ctrl + s works but I'm so used to using :w that I do it automatically and it takes me time to remember to do it the other way. Also, since :w works in all other vims that I use, I'd like to get vscode working the same way again.
I was running into this problem too and I found that the solution is to use neovim stable, not the prerelease 0.6.x version. Now all the editor commands work fine.
I found this solution via this GitHub issues link: https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim/issues/736

How can I get Visual Studio Code to reset the IntelliSense engine for Rust?

I am working on two projects, one is a library, the other is a program that uses that library. When I make changes to the library the other window (the program) doesn't see these changes, so I do not get updated IntelliSense. Closing the program that uses the library and reopening it does force an update but I really prefer not having to go that far.
Answering the title directly and not the root issue...
You can reset IntelliSense and all Rust code features by running the "Rust: Restart the Rust server" command from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Progress will be indicated in the status bar.
Still a blunt tool but it will ensure you're in a fresh state without having to restart VS Code entirely.

VS Code and Flutter/Dart, Widget Autocomplete not working

I'm working with some tutorials to learn Flutter and the one that I'm taking now uses VSCode. I actually prefer it to Android Studio because it doesn't overheat my Macbook. The only frustration I've had with it so far is that there are quite a few times where autocomplete just stops working. For instance, if I wrap a Column in a widget and then start typing Container, Android Studio will pop up an autocomplete showing Container VS Code used to do this for me, but has stopped for some reason. I can still get the autocomplete list if I press Ctrl+Spacebar.
I'm using the following:
VS Code - 1.36.1
Dart Extension - 3.2.0
Flutter Extension - 3.2.0
Material Icon Theme - 3.8.0
This is the latest version for all of these.
Is there some setting or something that I need to change? I've spent the last two hours trying to work out what's going on. In searching, I did see some references to earlier versions of VS Code and the extensions causing problems, but nothing about these versions.
Go to pubspec.yaml and hit save or run get packages. It worked for me, hope it helps
There are generally two reasons for VS Code to automatically open code completion - 1) when you press a key that the extension ahs told VS Code should invoke it and 2) when VS Code thinks it would be useful (for example when you start typing on a blank line). If you're typing in a line of existing code it won't always do this.
Pressing Ctrl+Space is the correct way to open completion in the cases where it doesn't appear automatically.
That said, if you can provide more information about a specific instance, I can take a look if it's something we could/should pop completion open for. It would be best raised at https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/issues with a screenshot and details of exactly where your cursor is (and how you got there).
dont use too many flutter extension, I also face this problem , then I realize that 3 flutter extension are installed, use only one , it works for me, try it.
I did have a derivative of this problem when I was working with VS Code and flutter and this is what I did.
This is for windows though. This is what I did ;
Go to C:\Users<your username >\AppData\Roaming\Code and delete all the files and the directory called "Code". Usually the folder AppData is hidden so you'll have to unhide it. Then restart your computer and then reopen VS Code. This I think cleared some of the unwanted cache files which kind of made things right again.
Hope it helped.
Make sure
Preferences > Editor > Intentions > Quick assist powered by the Dart
Analysis Server
is enabled (Screenshot).
If so, most likely your Dart Analysis server is crashing. Navigate to your HOME folder:
cd ~
And then below should resolve your issue:
sudo chown -R $USER .dart .flutter
Clear your cache if the issue still exists:
File > Invalidate Caches > Clear file system cache and Local History > Invalidate and Restart.
Also, Power Save Mode should be disabled:
File > Power Save Mode
Doing a flutter clean and then flutter pub upgrade worked for me. Sometimes flutter clean using the command line does not work if you have android studio then in tools go to flutter and then do flutter clean.
just do flutter clean then flutter create. and then flutter pub upgrade, and also see if your flutter SDK is latest or not.
Check to make sure Android Studio is not on low power mode
Menu>File>Low Power Save Mode
I solved in in my Macbook Pro by
Going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Input Sources
Disable: Select the previous input source (^ space)
Updating VS Code dart and flutter extensions
Restarting the computer.
And voila! Ctrl + space now shows options in VS Code.

Visual Studio Code freezing up my computer

So I have been using VS Code for a while now, and as of recently when I start up the program, within a couple minutes, my entire computer freezes. I have attempted re-installing it. I have made sure im on the latest update, and I have not recently installed any extensions in the days leading up to this issue.
It is consistently freezing though. Even after restarting my computer and re-installing the application. I have no clue what could be causing this but I really do enjoy VS Code and would like to not have to swap to something else.
Any help is of course greatly apprecaited. Thanks!
I got the same issue in my Ubuntu 16.04.
I did switch off git.autorefresh in the Settings, then it works flawlessly and smoothly
If the problem keeps occurring, I guess an extension is causing the issue (must be).
Try to remove the extensions one by one or disable it in settings then test again. I got the same issue and its fixed after removing the git blame extension.
I had the same problem and adding these settings to Visual Studio Code the PC freezing doesn't happen anymore:
Open VS Code settings (press F1 -> "Preferences: Open Settings
(JSON)";
Add these json properties at the end of your settings
"search.searchOnType": true,
"search.followSymlinks": false,
"search.collapseResults": "auto",
"search.maxResults": 2000,
Save settings.
It freezes a lot too
if you check task manager without vs code it should okay but after you open vs code and try it its the disk has like 100% or something that's why it's freezing

Visual Studio Code causing blue screen of death on Windows

I have Visual Studio Code version 1.22.2 running on Windows. When working on Javascript code, it crashes and causes a blue screen with the following technical info:
STOP: 0X0000007E
mfeavfk.sys - Address <...>
I have a plugin for MS SQL and a beautify plugin installed.
I recently updated Windows and started experiencing BSODs every time I started VS Code. Here's how I fixed it - hopefully this helps someone else:
Open a command prompt and type the following command:
code --disable-extensions
If your computer doesn't BSOD after this step, then an extension is likely causing the issue.
Press ctrl+shift+x to open the extensions sidebar
Under disabled, uninstall any extensions you aren't using or don't recognize.
Restart VS Code, and see if it still crashes.
If step 3 didn't help, try removing all extensions and then reinstalling one at a time until you find one that causes the crash. Then repeat steps 1-4, this time removing the extension you identified as causing the crash.
