If you like a particular set of extensions for working with a specific project and would like to share that set of extensions with someone, you can do this using the Extensions: Configure Recommended Extensions command.
Search for this in your command palette. When you execute the command, this will either allow you to configure your extensions inside your folder's workspace file, as shown below, or it will create a filed called extensions.json in your project's .vscode folder.
Whatever the case for your project, you would fill the "recommendations" JSON string with a value that lists all the extensions you want to recommend. Here's an example list (which you can copy/paste into your own recommendations):
|
"extensions": {
"recommendations": [
"formulahendry.code-runner",
"streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker",
"GitHub.copilot-chat",
"GitHub.copilot",
"jerriepelser.copy-markdown-as-html",
"phplasma.csv-to-table",
"bierner.emojisense",
"bierner.github-markdown-preview",
"wengerk.highlight-bad-chars",
"abusaidm.html-snippets",
"Zignd.html-css-class-completion",
"ritwickdey.LiveServer",
"yzhang.markdown-all-in-one",
"PKief.material-icon-theme",
"possan.nbsp-vscode",
"esbenp.prettier-vscode",
"jinhyuk.replace-curly-quotes",
"dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
"mushan.vscode-paste-image",
"redhat.vscode-yaml",
"sleistner.vscode-fileutils",
"telesoho.vscode-markdown-paste-image",
"unifiedjs.vscode-mdx",
"wayou.vscode-todo-highlight"
]
}

If you want to add extensions from your own workspace, just start editing a string in the list and hit CTRL-SPACE to enable intelliSense and you'll see a list of extensions you can add using their official identifiers, which are in the format ({publisherName}.{extensionName}).
If needed, you can get the identifier for an extension directly from the extension's marketplace listing page, as indicated in the image below.
When a workspace with a recommendations list is opened, VS Code will prompt the developer to install the recommended extensions, with the option to view the list before proceeding.
In my set up, viewing the list opens a new tab with each of the extension pages. I'm not sure if that happens under every setup, but beware of that. If you simply want to view the list in a more unwieldy format, just close the recommendation popup then open your extensions view in the sidebar and use the @recommended filter to view recommended extensions for the current workspace. From there you can install them all at once, or just install the ones you want.

VS Code Theme of the Week
|
Alabaster Theme — This is described as a "light theme with minimal amount of highlighting". It's definitely a different take on syntax highlighting, as it only highlights four categories of tokens.
For example, it will highlight strings, constants, comments, and global definitions, but won't highlight things like language keywords and doesn't do any font variations. An interesting simpler take on syntax highlighting that you might want to try out for languages that you think might benefit from this style.
