Still can't work with proxy without some magic tricks at my office.

Still slow as hell.

Not sure if it can open large log files (Atom crashed whenever you try to open pretty small log file, like 60mb or something)

etc.

I don't get why whould anyone prefer this to Sublime, to be honest.

I'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 aro…

Not so sure about a Raspberry Pi, it'd probably just be a novelty there, considering how slow the Pi is running Chromium and the like. (Though the Pi 3 might be able to handle it better). Chromebooks on the other hand, sound like a great idea.

That's what I thought, but it runs quite well on a RPi2.

Extensions working well too, at least as many as I have tried.

How is Markdown support? Does it support GitHub Markdown? I'm using Atom as it has some nice plugins. But I tend to preview my markdown in Marked 2 anyway.

It does support Github Flavoured Markdown and has a preview mode built in, no extension needed.

What 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've just got a gulp ftp task for syncing the ftp server I'm sure you can do similar without much trouble to run from vscode. I run that as a post-commit to production.

Awesome. Thank you. I haven't tried VSCode since before 1.0. Downloading now. I'd love to get away from Atom.

Switched to VS code from atom and loving it already. This is what Atom should look like. Atom has become so bloated it's a pain to use now. But there was a previous comment online maybe on HN or Reddit about an issue in the privacy policy or license in VS code. Any idea about that??

How do you work with proxy? I can't install any extensions without manually downloading and installing.

You can set the http.proxy option in your settings.json. I have to use just "http.proxyStrictSSL": false because we MITM traffic and the bundled node doesn't check the windows cert store.

This might sound like a weird question, but after a lot of search I found no keyboard shortcut to toggle between the editor and integrated terminal. It sound like a I'm picky but it's a bit of a timewaster to have to pick up the mouse just to switch from editor to the integrated terminal. A most I could use an external terminal window but that kinda defeats the purpose of having an integrated one I think. Is there su…

Other commenters aren't answering this. ctrl+` hides or opens the terminal. If you want to leave it open there's no command to toggle only your cursor focus from editor to terminal.

edit: I take it back, It's just not bound.{"key": "ctrl+#", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focus"}

But you can't move the focus back with that toggle.
