If I find a bug in VS Code or if the VS Code settings describe something incorrectly, I'll usually search for the VS Code GitHub repo and use that to submit an issue to address the problem.
But I recently learned that you can do this from directly inside VS Code. Choose "Help" from the menu bar at the top, then select "Report Issue".
This brings up the Issue Reporter window, which allows you to fill out your issue similar to how you would directly on GitHub, but with a lot more help to make it easier to do.
 |
As shown above, you can choose the type of issue you want to submit, which includes a Bug Report, Feature Request, or Performance Issue. You can also select what you're reporting this for – VS Code, an extension, or the Marketplace itself.
And at the bottom of the report, you can select what information from your local setup you want to share along with the report, including system info, currently running processes, enabled extensions, and so on.
Of course, if you're just submitting a Feature Request, you won't be prompted to send any system info, you'll just describe the feature. Whatever you choose, as shown above, you can then select to either create the issue immediately or preview it on GitHub first.
If you want a quick run-through of a submission of a feature request using this Help option, you can check out this video on the VS Code YouTube channel. That walk-through is pretty detailed, even using Copilot Chat to create the content of the issue, preview on GitHub, etc.
Now on to this week's hand-picked links!

VS Code Theme of the Week
|
Monochromator — This is a unique set of 16 themes, light and dark, that are 'monochromatic', that is they only use a single color for specific syntax tokens, with the rest just white or dark text.
The one shown above is just called 'dark' and uses a blue shade as its only token colorizer. Others use ruby, amber, sulfur, emerald, aquamarine, and so on. Definitely worth a try if you dislike the distraction of too many colors in your syntax highlighting.
