Visual Studio Code Extensions

Visual Studio Code is a free open-source code editor that can be useful for tasks like working in markdown or Python. It’s easy to customise your workspace set up via extensions, so here is a list of great VS Code extensions:

  • Rainbow Brackets - Highlights open and closing brackets in a rainbow of colours - great for finding that missing bracket in your code! 🌈

  • indent-rainbow - Highlights indentations in a rainbow of colours - great for spotting indentation problems. 🌈

  • Material Icon Theme - changes the default file icons to material icons. This makes navigating around files easier for me.

  • Markdown Emoji - clearly a very important feature to have… 😉

  • markdownlint - A extension that adds rules for markdown files, and highlights violations of these rules. I find it helpful to keep my markdown documents neat and consistent.

Colour themes

Customise your GUI to make the colour scheme kinder to your eyes (or more entertaining!).
