The Visual Studio Code setting "files.autoSave": "onWindowChange" has stopped working for me. It has worked properly for me every day in the past year. (I'm wondering if it may possibly be related to either my most recent update to Catalina or the most recent update to VS Code.) I have the files.autoSave setting only in this file: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json.
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get the autosave feature in vscode working again?

i personally don't like to use autosave on window change. I use "files.autoSave": "afterDelay" and set the delay files.autoSaveDelay": 500 here. Why I used this over the autosave window change is because it's much faster and automatically done every 500ms!
I was using Witch by Many Tricks, https://manytricks.com/witch/. After updating MacOs to Catalina 10.15.6, I believe that Which may have been interfering with VS Code ability receive window focus callbacks (I'm guessing). When I disabled Which, all is fine now. Thank you.

Does someone knows how to refer to my APPDATA folder in my vscode settings.json file?
I'm trying to set the path to my php-cs-fixer like below so, on all my development computer, the path can be retrieved.
"php-cs-fixer.executablePathWindows": "$env:APPDATA/Composer/vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer.bat",
To be clear: $env:APPDATA seems to be unsupported.
I'm using the latest version of vscode.

I tried this on VSCode Insiders 1.53, was able to set using ~:
{
"php-cs-fixer.executablePathWindows": "~\\AppData\\Roaming\\Composer\\vendor\\bin\\php-cs-fixer.bat"
}
Seems that the ~ is transformed to match C:\Users\[you].
I know for sure that ${env:APPDATA} works because I use it in the setting : "emmet.extensionsPath": "${env:APPDATA}\\Code\\User\\Emmet Settings",
Check this documentation section. Unfortunately, this issue complains that it is not supported in every settings and extensions. I strongly suggest that every one upvote this issue so we have better chance MS takes care of it.
I have VSCode installed with

I also installed C/C++ for Visual Studio Code 1.1.2.
Then created some hpp file.
Also when hitting enter on some random line, 3 dots appear on some strange empty lines.
After 2 seconds these dots and lines disappear again.
This makes working in the editor really hard when lines come and go.
Here is a screenshot:
Any idea how to disable these popping up dots?
This was happening to me because of the GitLens extension. I uninstalled it and now the issue is gone. It seems they have open issues for this issue but they are not addressed (as of today)

Is there an extension or setting, which makes a file with a .diff extension, opened in VS Code, display added lines in green and deleted lines in red? Currently, when I open a diff file, it displays added and deleted lines in the same color. I'm using VS Code Version: 1.37.1.
P.S. I tried the diff extension, but it doesn't work for me.
P.P.S. I tried reloading VS Code with extensions disabled and the highlighting is still broken:
I observed that .diff files are highlighted by default(without requiring any extensions), it's just that certain themes do not work well.
VS Code currently have this feature, if you get the .diff extension the sintax highlight performs correctly like git bash.
My VS Code is:

since a few weeks now I can't open my settings correctly in visual studio code. Before this issue, two windows appeared. One with the default settings and one with the edited settings. Now only the window with the edited settings shows up.
This is some of really annoying, because I want to search for a specific default setting, but can't click on the pen to edit it. I can't change it from the ui settings as well.
I append a screenshot of how it looks in my vs code:
new settings
This is how it looked before: old settings

I am glad if anyone can help me solving that problem.
Today in my colleague's vscode I saw that finding references opens in sidebar.
I searched the web and I understood that it's done by Reference Search View, an extension shipped by vscode but it's not working for me. How can I enable it?

This is a built-in extensions. It is included in VS Code 1.30+ and is enabled by default. Search #builtin references in the extension view to make sure you have not accidentally disabled it.
To show references, run the References: Find all references command. This should open the references sidebar with the reference results
Fixed!
The issue was that I was using
"command": editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger"
instead of
"command": "references-view.find"
in my keybindings.
I'm actually pleased! because I can still have the old behaviour by using the first command :)
