Hello,
I have been using vscode (Visual Studio Code) text editor for couple of days. I have come from Spyder IDE for python. I am developing a great likeness towards vscode. It encompasses all of my needs to python programming with also being lightweight.
However, one thing that I am missing and wish it were here in vscode is cell highlighting. Though the editor has feature to segment the code into several cells by typing # %% before a block, it lacks the feature to highlight the cell where mouse pointer is hovered on.
Maybe, there is an option there in settings.json but i don't know where it is in particular. Though it is not a great lack or causes major issues but i like to enable this feature in my vscode editor.
Below pictures illustrate my point.
Previous image is the visual studio code editor and the below one is for Spyder IDE.
It seems it is supported now.
Bellow there's a screenshot for the current version of VSCode using Microsoft's Python extension.
If this answers the question, please, inform as answer.

Lately when using Jupyter Notebook in VS Code to write some assignments for my studies I ran into a quite annoying problem - whenever there is a mistake in my code cell that prevents it from running, the "traceback" (or however you call it) to the place where the error persists is colored with a high-contrast marker (the color depends on the theme used) and makes the content pretty much invisible unless you manually "select" it with the mouse coursor. Is there any way I could fix it without going too much in-depth into VSCode/Jupyter Notebook extension settings?
The highlighting looks like shown below.
Yellow syntax marker problem.
And another one here.
I tried all the themes preinstalled with VS Code such as Monokai, Solarized Light etc., and also a custom theme of my choice called Dracula.
Thanks in advance.
This issue has recently reappeared. While the issue is being fixed you can change the highlight colour within the vscode settings.
Open settings and search for "Workbench:ColorCustomizations"

Create or alter the "terminal.ansiYellow": "#eed202" to a more appropriate value like "terminal.ansiYellow": "#9b4550". See the linked image.

I also have this problem. It looks like they fixed it less than 1 month ago as of writing this, so it may go away if you update to a recent pre-release of Jupyter in VS Code. Personally, I am going to live with it until the next stable release.

I just trying to switch my editor from NetBeans to VSCode, however there is one feature which i missed from NetBeans and seem not exist at VSCode. I am not sure what is the name of the feature, i just call it "Scope mark line". The detail is like picture attached.
My question is, is there any plugins can bring that feature to VSCode? Please let me know if any, thanks in advance.
I also had a hard time searching for this feature, and found this VS Code Extension on the Marketplace: guides which adds various indentation guide lines. This worked for me editing ruby and bash files on osx.
Some of the tags for the extension:
guides indentation indentation guides ruler
From Default indent line guide in Visual Code?
Enable in settings.json:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": true
I have recently switched from Sublime Text to Visual studio code, but there is something that i truly miss, and it is the scroll bar at the top right corner of the which shows a smaller version of the file being edited (I don't know the exact name).
I find it pretty useful to navigate through my files, especially when i want to start deleting blocks of code i have commented out, before i submit my code.
Is there any plugin to get this on visual studio code, or is there any ongoing plans in order to implement it? Thanks!

Are there any plug ins for mentioned IDEs that let me see the whole text file similar to how sublimetext does it? See their website, to the right of the text there is a super minimized overview of the entire file. Amazing feature which makes me want to change to it but i rather want an IDE :/ so i hope eclipse or visual studio might have something similar?
Visual Studio has a plugin called ProgressiveScroll which works on 2010+
It hasn't been updated for a while but seems to work okay in 2013.
Eclipse now has a built-in feature like this since version 4.9, called Minimap.
You can access it from Window -> Show View. If it's not in the list, click Other... at the bottom, and it's under General.
Is there a setting or plugin for eclipse that can show indentation guides in the editor? Something like the Codekana plugin for visual studio (not so fancy is also OK). Important that it works with PyDev.
EditBox since v0.0.20 is fixed for support Pydev. Thanks for reporting this. Some default preferences for Python included now, but you are welcomed to share yours here.
This can be achieved this is EditBox.
With some customization through it's preferences you can get to some nice code blocks highlighting of python code (or any other where blocks are signified with whitespace).
It is highly customizable and can achieve the vertical rules codekana style, and various other layouts.
The problem is it doesn't work on PyDev editor from what I see (at least for now). I've opened a feature request for it.
If it's any good, you can still view it's layout when opening a python file with right click "Open With/Text editor". From version 0.20, EditBox fully supports PyDev.
I also tried AnyEdit which has some whitespace highlighting amongst other features, but was not too happy with the results. For example, I had to press they're "show whitespace" button after each change to show the background, and it's not very visually pleasing (it uses eclipse's annotations to highlight whitespace).
IndentGuide is a plugin that does this for Eclipse. I am not sure whether it works for PyDev though.
The closest approximation would be to combine:
showing the whitespace characters (which shows tabs and spaces, but not just tabs)
code folding (available with PyDev)
