Common shortcut keys

Ctrl +/: quickly annotate or uncomment;

File Filtering

VS code displays all files by default, but some of these files are not viewable, such as. o files.

It is best to filter out these files and not display them in the sidebar.

To do this, you can open the user settings, preferences, file, and then in the edit box, the default settings file and the Setting.json file are skipped.

The default settings file is not modifiable and we need to overwrite the default settings on the Setting.json file as follows:

On the far right is the setting file, which adds the following code:

Put the settings in this file to override the default settings
{
    //configure USR mode to exclude files and folders.
    "Files.exclude": {
        "**/.git": True,
        "**/.SVN": True,
        "**/.HG": True,
        "**/." Ds_store ": True,
        " **/*.O ": True,
        " **/*.o.cmd ": True
    }
}

Files.exclude is the filter file settings, here the first 4 is the default, the following two is new.

        "**/*.O": True,
        "**/*.o.cmd": True

Indicates that all files ending with. O and. O.cmd are ignored. This will not show these files in vs code.

You can also control not displaying folders, such as

"**/build": True

This is where the build folder is hidden.

Setting.json can also be used for various settings, you can see the default settings on the left to make customized changes.

using vs code for Python debugging

1) First you need to download the Python plugin:

Click on the section in the Red box, you can choose a different plug-in, which is already installed after the Python plugin results.

2) then select "File--preferences--user settings" to open Settings.json this profile.

You can find the Python.pythonpath in the default configuration and you need to modify the Python location of the cost machine in Settings.json:

3) Open the folder where the Python file is located and you are ready to debug:

Note that it is no use to open the file, you must open the directory where the file is located.

VS code also creates a. Vscode directory under this directory, which contains the configurable file Launch.json.

Custom Code Snippets

Selecting the user code snippet, file, preferences, will jump out the following window:
