What do shift+Y and shift+P do? Are they the same as y and p, but in insert mode?
In insert mode? How would you type uppercase X and P then?

#142How does VS Code compares to Atom? If I'm not mistaken they're both written in Electron, right?
Much faster and less of a memory hog.
Re: Visual Studio Code 1.6
#143While this editor really attracts me, (it has that Emacs-y vibe, where it integrates many external tools in nice cohesive interface) I still cannot overcome that it is still basically an electron app. Atom is just a no go, despite all the candy looks and nice little plugins, I cannot justify energy and memory usage. I heard VSCode is totally different story, but I have yet to find js developed desktop app that doesn't make me cringe! Previously I bothered, and tried many of them. Now I just don't even try, just skip. And VSCode looks sweet, really sweet! And I would like to try it if, but the way and nature of application is pushing me away. Maybe if some of you folks convince me I'm wrong I'll give it a shot. :)

The time it took you to write that you could already have downloaded it and given it a go. Why waste our time to convince you?

#145I have been using VS Code as my full-time editor for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Originally I was only using it for TypeScript projects, where the language integration is top-notch, but eventually found myself using it all the time. I use the vim plugin, which is surprisingly good although it does have a few issues still. The best thing about VS Code (and Microsoft's other big open source project, TypeS…
Man oh man, as a long time Sublime user I downloaded it just out of curiosity and really not expecting to switch. Now its a few months down the line and its the only text editor I use, and once a month I see a new release at the top of HN and get excited. It is one of the few things where I actually read all the release notes. I feel like a fan boy.

#146Earlier quoted context omitted.
oh that's actually really good to hear - my team has a lot of backend services in Perl (yeah..) that we're moving to Go :)
Why would you rewrite already-working services written in an expressive and battle-tested language to a fad 1970s-style language? It's like being in the late 90s and replacing your existing infrastructure with Java hype, except with a language somehow worse but justified with Rob Pike's pseudointellectual bullshit.
Haha fair argument. As someone pointed out - it's very easy to incur technical debt in Perl. It's a dynamic language with virtually non-existant dev tools and lacking open source community. I personally can't wait to go back to a static language for our backend. We're looking at NodeJS (of course...), JVM, and Go. Arguably you can fake typing in NodeJS with TypeScript, Flow, etc, but my team isn't too excited about JS for our backend, I personally have an allergic reaction to Java for backend and I really want a static language, so by process of elimination, Go wins.

#147I've been working lately on getting Visual Studio Code to compile for ARM. Its working fairly reliably but Travis doesnt support the toolchain so Im having to use Gitlab CI in the meantime.
I want to give this a little more polish before I release, but can I gauge from the folks here if there would be any interest in ARM nightlies for Raspberry Pi (and other ARM SBCs)/ARM Chromebooks?
If so, I'll move some things around to get it done in the next few days.
Works really well on Chrome OS with Crouton, owing to the integrated terminal:

#148What I find to be hilariously missing is drag & drop for the selected text. I tried switching to VS code a couple of days ago and realized I couldn't do such a basic thing. That and a decent FTP extension. No one wants to sync their entire project just to upload a single file. ugh.
I was actually happy to find out VSCode doesn't have this feature.

#149Did they ever fix the DPI scaling issues?
What do you mean by DPI scaling? I'm using VSCode on Windows on retina-y display with something like 200% scaling and no issues.

I thought project.json got mothballed? Did they take another kick at it and make it work?
Don't recall ever hearing it got mothballed during development - though I do believe they've bent over and are going to support csproj files with .NET Core in the future as well. Here's the relevant page on project.json: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tools/... Edit: I need to be better about deep reading through links. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/05/23/changes-t... looks like…
Project.json is getting pitched, but until the successor arrives, it's still the only way to do .Net Core dev.
