What is a VS Code workspace?

What is a VS Code workspace? A Visual Studio Code workspace is the collection of one or more folders that are opened in a VS Code window (instance). In most cases, you will have a single folder opened as the workspace.

Portable mode - Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code supports Portable mode. This mode enables all data created and maintained by VS Code to live near itself, so it can be moved around across environments.

Language Identifiers - Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, each language mode has a unique specific language identifier. That identifier is rarely seen by the user except in the settings, for example, when associating file extensions to a language: "files.associations": { "*.myphp": "php" } Note that casing matters for exact identifier matching ('Markdown' != 'markdown')

Telemetry - Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features.

Learning with VS Code on Chromebooks

With VS Code running on your Chromebook, you can start coding easily and quickly in a variety of languages and frameworks. This includes languages such as Python, JavaScript and Node.js, Java, and C#, among many more!

Text Buffer Reimplementation - Visual Studio Code

Converting strings between a custom native representation and V8's strings is costly and in our case, compromised any performance gained from implementing text buffer operations in C++. We will discuss this in more detail at the end of this post. Not going native, we had to find ways to improve our JavaScript/TypeScript code.

vscode.dev (!) - Visual Studio Code

Now when you go to https://vscode.dev, you'll be presented with a lightweight version of VS Code running fully in the browser. Open a folder on your local machine and start coding. No install required.

Extension Marketplace - Visual Studio Code

VS Code extensions let you add languages, debuggers, and tools to your installation to support your development workflow. VS Code's rich extensibility model lets extension authors plug directly into the VS Code UI and contribute functionality through the same APIs used by VS Code.
