Is it possible to preview code start in vs code? - visual-studio-code

Well i am coming from Visual Studio where there is a feature to see a preview of the start of any code that isn't in the editor. ex if you are down at the end of an if statement or end of a method in C#, or even tag closings in HTML.
Here is a pic of what i mean. And sorry i can't even search for that cause i don't know what such feature is called.
Any extension might be nice.
Edit: this is actually a Resharper Ultimate feature called highlight matching delimiter

This is not available in VS code.

Is there a way to disable 'clips' in VS Code?

The clips feature has been around for some versions in VS Code. It automatically tracks what code I wrote (or copied?) and then offers these clips on a popup when starting a similar statement (e.g. a return statement):
However, this feature drives me nuts. There has been no single circumstance where I benefited from it (why would a seasoned programmer repeat parts of his code? Code-reuse, anyone?). However, if I'm typing fast and I'm not careful, I accidentally select it and the whole clip gets pasted.
Is there a way to disable this feature in VS Code? I neither found any corresponding settings in the official docs nor did any search engine point me in the correct direction.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How to add a list of custom bad/forbidden words to Visual Studio Code

There is a list of words/phrases that I would like Visual Studio Code to underline when they occur in the project. The list is custom. How to accomplish it?
You can use the extension Highlight to give particular text a different color.
I like the extension Highlight mentioned by #rioV8, but what it misses is:
1) You can not provide a message when code part triggers RegEx
2) It highlights with different colors (it's nice). But it does not use Lenses in Visual Studio Code.
So i wrote an extension that does that. Shows message when code triggers RegEx in realtime. You can think of it like as an Uber Linter.

You can find it above and install. Also there is source code available on GitHub

How to highlight cells in vscode?

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.

sublime text-like code scrollbar on visual studio code

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!

Visual Studio 2005 - Missing feature 'Code outline' (eclipse) or 'Defs' (SlickEdit)

I mostly use SlickEdit and eclipse while working on embedded systems. Once in a while I need to use Visual Studio, and I terribly miss this feature that is known by different names in different editors. Basically you get a small window of 'outline style' code summary on the side (showing just the function names and optionally the static and globals at the top). You click an item on this little window and your cursor in the main editor window magically jumps to that item location. Here is how it looks like in SlickEdit:

Anyone knows what I am talking about ?
Any 'pointers' will be much appreciated :)
Thanks.
Take a look at the DPack addin
and more specifically at the Code Browser feature
