1. Software introduction
VSCode (full name: Visual Studio Code) is a free cross-platform source code editor developed by Microsoft. The software supports syntax highlighting, code auto-completion (also known as IntelliSense), code refactoring, view definition functions, and has built-in command line tools and Git version control systems. Users can change themes and keyboard shortcuts to personalize settings, and can also install extensions through the built-in extension store to expand software functionality.
VS Code uses Monaco Editor as its underlying code editor.
In the 2019 developer survey organized by Stack Overflow, Visual Studio Code was considered the most popular development environment among developers.
