Hey everyone. Today I will talk about the code editor that I use. This so far the best code editor I have used for web developement. I will try to cover all the questions I get frequently. Let’s get started with these questions.
What code editor do you use?
The code editor that I use for web development is Visual Studio Code. You can download this text editor from the link here. This code editor is fast and extremely efficient.
How do you write code by typing just abbreviations?
VS Code comes with a built-in plugin called Emmet. If you are using some other code editor you can simply install emmet. Emmet can tremendously help you increase your productivity. Here is the link through which you can download emmet. Also, you can find the cheatsheet for emmet here. Now let’s move to the next question.
What is your VS Code theme?
Currently, I am using the Min theme by Miguel Solorio. This theme comes in two dark and light. I prefer using the dark one. To download this theme you can simply go to VS studio marketplace and search for the theme. Finally, just click on the install button.
Alternatively, you go to the command palette by clicking – ‘Ctrl + Shift + P’ and click on ‘Install Extensions’. Here You can search for – ‘Min Theme’ and click install.
