Issue #20  (Beautiful VS Code Themes)09/07/22

I'm taking a break from the introductory tip in this week's issue, but if you're a new subscriber and somewhat new to customizing and getting started with VS Code, you'll want to check out the archives for all the previous tips. There have been about 18 tips so far — I'm sure you'll find something useful in there to help you in your workflow with VS Code.

If you're an advanced VS Code user, I'm sure many of the tips are things you've seen before. Though I have to admit, it's easy to get into certain habits and forget about common shortcuts and other helpful customizations! Thus, I hope even the advanced users have been reading the intros and finding a few things that have helped.

Now on to this week's hand-picked links!
