Time for another regularly scheduled monthly update from Visual Studio Code; the April 2019 update has landed. This month marks VS Code version 1.34.

According to the 2018 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, VS Code ranked the most popular development environment. In 2019, it keeps delivering. This open source, lightweight code editor has a host of language extensions, as well as out of the box support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js.

New updates and improvements

Here are some of the new and noteworthy features added with the latest April 2019 release:

CodeLens update: Caches CodeLens locations and restores them after switching editors
Debugging setting: debug.showSubSessionsInToolBar shows debug sub-sessions in the debug toolbar (set to false by default)
Show problems panel: new revealProblems task
New command: Tasks: Terminate Task command terminates multiple tasks
Language update: Lower rank for CSS property values with vendor prefix
Vetur extension and interpolation support: This extension adds semantic diagnostics, hover info, jump to definition capability, and can find a reference for the JS expression inside of Vue’s template interpolation region. See the Vetur changelog for more info on these additions.
Multi-extension debugging: Support added for debugging more than one extension at a time.
Rewrote filesystem provider for local files
Command links in notifications: No longer confined to links that open in a browser
Bug fixes: This update fixes the following issues: Trash and FileSystemProvider capability; call Stack “Paused On Breakpoint” UI not visible for long thread names; terminal window crashes in Mac OS; debug console render newlines unnecessary; strange behavior when scrolling in debug window; error revealing files in the explorer; ‘report issue’ button on ‘Running extensions’ causes tens of duplicate issues.

Preview feature: Remote development

You can download the remote development extension pack, (it requires Visual Studio Code Insiders). Since it runs commands and extensions on the remote machine, you do not need source code on your local machine.

This pack contains three extensions:
