Let us know which VS Code extensions that you use daily
Mostly all of them
Which vscode theme are you using

For code screenshot I prefer "code snap", but all are very imoprtant extensions thank you for sharing!
I use Background by Katsute. The best extension if you want a background while coding. It's actually neat, and you get used to it pretty quickly. You can even put gifs and it's amazing. Also, I use a custom program to color rotate the hue of the colors of the borders of my editor, just like with rgb strip LEDs. Though this is a hack as I just update the settings.json on an interval which is not ideal. I wish there was an extension like that but I don't have the time to make it.
Always nice to see videos from Traversy. I'm 10 years into my career and absolutely would not have learned as much as I did without Brad. Thank you!
Thanks, keeping me in tune like you always do. Great.
I have been your subscriber since the start of my career. It is always so nice to watch your videos. I see you shed a lot of weight. Keep going man. Love everything that you do for the community.
Brad. Thank you so much, your content is undeniably great and to the point!
It is always a pleasure to see a new video from Traversy! Thanks!
Material Icon Theme, Image preview, Color Highlight, Auto Rename Tag, Auto Close Tag... Some simple extensions that make my life easier.
Thanks Brad, you and Will are actually my gurus and mentors.
Great video as always! I've been looking for something like Polacode for a while now. Will give some of the other ones a try as well 😀
In my base profile I always include 3 must-have extensions,
- Better Comment, and whenever I include custom comments I make sure to save them in the workspace so everybody has the same highlighting
- Path intellisense, although not always needed whenever you start using paths in a project this one saves my time
And the best for last,
- Sonarlint, I absolutely love this extension, it works for multiple languages, and tells me all the code-smells which are in my projects (plus a simple page why it's bad and what it should be)
Awesome suggestions. I don't really see the point of path intellisense as I think vscode, typescript etc covers that (unless I am missing something) but "better comment" and "Sonarlint" are great!
Thanks for the updated recommendations!
Thank you so much for sharing
Oh my god Multiple cursor case preserve is a game changer, I literally run in to this problem almost every day, THANK YOU
Do you have the link to the official extension, the one he is using
@@mdcode Pretty sure it's this one, just copy paste the id: Cardinal90.multi-cursor-case-preserve
Yeah, something so simple but so useful
Looking good, Brad. I haven’t seen a vid pop up in quite some time.
Thanks! Yeah the TH-cam algorithm hates me lol. I refuse to do clickbait titles and 3 minute over-excited videos and that seems to be what works these days 🤷♂
@@TraversyMediawell at least I'll always your vids when they come up 😊
@@TraversyMedia That is why I love your content in the first place. You have a characteristic, calm voice, great style of speaking, coherent, slow pace, good quality content.
Maybe that is not so popular nowadays, I really appreciate the value.
I recently started using Git lens at work, it's a must have for when working in a team
Thanks a lot! Awesome tutorial.
As always, thanks Brad!
This was great, thank you!
Awesome Video. Here are other good general Extensions I use:
1. Auto Close Tag - Automatically add HTML/XML close tag
2. Better Comments - create more human-friendly comments
3. Black Formatter - Python Text Formatter
4. Color Highlight - css/web colors found in your document.
Bookmarks is my favorite, I didn't know about it, thanks!!!
For the screenshot extension, I use one called Snipped. It works mostly in the same way as Polacode (which I didn’t know of beforehand), but the benefit of Snipped over Polacode is that it actually takes a screenshot of the code you’ve highlighted (or the entire file by default, if no specific part of your code has been selected).
Awesome video! Thank you
i think it's been a minute, good job
Reopen closed Editor is like reopening a closed tab in browser. Very useful if you accidentally closed a file and quickly want to reopen it (also uses the Ctrl + Shift + T shortcut like in a browser).

Great list! I added several of these. I especially like Multiple Cursor Case Preserve, which is going to be such a timesaver for me!
Note on the Postman extension. After months of frustration, I found that _it_ was the reason the Refresh Browser extension wasn't refreshing when I would press Cmd-R.
Thank you for the great video!
Thanks Brad, so useful !! :D
Thank you Brad 🥳
Thank you Brad 🔥
Added 4 on my lists, Tnx !!
Thanks for sharing Awesome😀
Dude you look so healthy. I took a 3 year break from coding its good to see you.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks mate!
Thank you sir very much!
Thank you , post more videos like this
Thank you Sir!
Very nice tutorial.
Awesome, Brad
thx man, you are the best
Thanks very useful🎉🔥
some of them are really amazing
Why does Visual Studio Code have such a large number of extensions and other editors do not?
'chmod' and 'duplicate action' - simple but handy extensions. I used to have one in Atom that would automatically set the executable bit on any file with a `#!` line at the top but I have never found an equivalent in VSCode
Thanks Brad, some I've not seen before and will now use. Your the boss.
You asked about vscode extensions we use a lot, I have to say Dev Containers by MS. I use this daily and clone repos in container volumes in conjuration with Docker. It can take a bit of getting used to but has become a daily driver for me personally. I get consistent and reproducible dev environments and can switch from one system to another, syncing as I go. This makes me happy.
Hope your doing ok.
Some really nice ones in there.
Hi Traversy hope you are good, noticed your looks has changed and very noticable, do take of yourself and great job you've done.
I'm still learning! I only use prettier and live server. I'm trying to do everything by myself.
Really appreciate the one "Multiple cursor case preserve" existing, thanks for the video and for letting me know it existed.
Couple of them not mentioned here really good for me would be:
- CodeMetrics - for code complexity
- indent-rainbow - to add colors to the tabs of your file so you know what's the beginning and what's the end in a function with multiple ifs for example
- Template String Converter - if you type ${ inside a simple quote with " or ' it will transform it to ` so you don't need to go and do it yourself everytime
indent-rainbow feature has been available in vscode for a while now, you can uninstall the extension and turn the native feature on in settings
@syedmohammadsannan964Ever thought about accessibility, maybe people have sight issues?
With Console Ninja I've found that the logger is not useful, but what is useful is the count of times a message is logged, i.e. how many time a block is run. Could be useful to check if API is being called more than expected, for example. Would love it if the tool were actually dedicated to this and producing a summary of all marked locations.
There is an extension called colourised brackets i guess which is super helpful for maintaining brackets related errors
Error lens is also nice to quickly find out errors detected in the code
Some of my unmentioned daily essentials:
- Powermode
- Rainbow indent
- Todo Tree
Weldone Brad
was just scrubbing my subscriptions after my daughter subscribed to every roblox channel there is and saw this again. You helped me starting in web dev my dude, legend!
Thunder Client can replace PostMan
i think PostMan is better
No , thunder client so far better, give it a try
Or Hoppscotch?
@2u841r yeah , it's also a perfect app
@@2u841r yeah its also a perfect app
Great 👍
it's been a long time since i've seen one of these videos popup
i miss them
Thanks for your time & effort.
Great vid, as always.
One question... When explaing Quokka, you type "clg TAB" and it replaces into "console.log"...
Did you write your own code-snippets, or is this an existing one (from a package, I mean)
Thanks in advance for your time to reply.
No it is by default in vscode without any extension
@@dev-akeel Didn't know about that...
Thanks for replying.
@@johnnydriesen7575 You can also install many such extensions in vscode
Todo tree is also nice.
you need to explain what it does for this to be a good comment
Looks useful although I would argue writing TODOs in your codebase is a bad idea. Much better to have project management setup for this. Jira, Trello or something as simple as dynalist (it's not for project management but I use it because of its simplicity)
@@programmingloop7 Yeah
@@tejusr5525 Another point that I didn't mention is that if you want to not forget something before you commit then this is really useful. Let's say you're refactoring and want to make sure you don't forget to update jsdocs of your function then this is really handy.
But this should be temporary TODOs that are resolved immediately. One should not commit them into the codebase. For that project management is best
@@programmingloop7 yeah some time i use them to remind me to uncomment some code before pushing.
instead of postman I use thunder client which is pretty good, you don't need to create account.
The OG ❤
Looking buff!
Some other good ones:
- Auto Close Tag
- Auto Rename Tag
- Bracket Lens
- Copy Filename
- Change Case
The problem with "multiple cursors" type extensions, at least for me, is that you don't have to use them often enough to be worth learning them, remembering the commands. But even if I learn them, I forget them because I don't have to use them that often. So 50/50.
ctrl+d is something every developer should know and use frequently, I feel like it's way faster than search and replace inside a single file
Agreed but I'd definitely recommend learning to use the multi-cursor features of VSCode because they are an absolutely massive time saver.
Oh, you dont have to do anyyhig wiyh that extension. Just install it and done
I use it so often I'm surprise you say that
Have the same hat but in blue
I used to a few extensions to git, but Git Graph is the best.
sir, which theme do you use?
I usually like writing my own regexes, but it's nice to know about this extension now as well :D
I'm trying to reduce my extension dependency (in editors, browsers, Linux), VSCode has built in formatting and linting for html, css, javascript... It might not be as feature rich as Prettier but, at least for me, it does the job.
Are these extensions also available fr phpstorm?
If not can you please make a video about goo phpstorm addons
what vscode theme is this?
What do you think about devin
When should we expect your next course on Laravel?
Don’t forget my Tab Jumper extension
Live preview
Are all the github copilot alternatives gated behind a wallet ?
neovim and lunar vim ?
Another alternative to Polacode could be 'CodeSnap'
How to disable all extensions except using one in vscode?
Surprised Codeium isn't on here instead of Copilot. It's incredible, I've heard it's better than Copilot, and it's free.
Even more surprised that VS Code Pets isn't on here.
Yes, good I'm using. It's free
Please make a similar video for the chrome extension for developers like AI tools and hacks
Fyi Live Server on M2 mac can leave an orphaned node process with a memory leak that will ear up your CPU and RAM.
looking so slim
BiomeJS is a replacement for Eslint and Prettier(Web Dev)
live share for remote share and collaboration
Where are the COBOL ones?
What do you think of Github Actions ?
Brad, barely recognised you😮
thunder client looks much easier and doesn't propmpt for an account
I feel it is important to mention that ChatGPT is actually not from openai but developed by someone else. Although dev name is visible but still be careful.
1st cmmnt
One of the very, very convenient things about PhpStorm is - no saving. More precisely, autosave. I forgot about ctrl + s. And if I have to work in some other environment, it is immediately painful.
At first it was unusual. But now it is so organic that it is not understandable how it could be otherwise. And as long as you haven't closed the IDE, ctrl + z works. Plus there's always git reset. Maybe VS also has something like that.
i've got a challenge, try building an i-message clone with complete features
Quokka is pronounced Kwokker. In real life Its a small marsupial that is native to Rottnest Island, a small island off the West Australian coast.
You missed the most important one... VIM EXTENSION
What is VIM ?
Where did your cheeks go? :)
Looking good!
I have found Phind to be far more useful than Copilot. I use both, but probably phind 80% copilot 20% of the time. They're both good, however phind is better.
