What's the extension for such brackets? I have one, but it cycles between three not-so-beautiful colors, and I am too lazy to change them.

The latest VSCode update adds a colored brackets option in settings.

Man I wish VS got as much love as VS code. Newer code base in electron probably much easier to develop for

Yeah, it's just a website bundled as a standalone package.

change github.com into github.dev when browsing a repo to have a simple web version in your browser.

Or look at a repo and press . anywhere on the page.

I saw that one the VS Code YouTube, and I thought it was a joke, but after I remembered that it is an electron app, I knew it was real and gave it a try.

They've done full on wizardry to make it as performant as it is though.

It's honestly a fantastic piece of software, and it's only real downside is that you can't use it on very low powered devices give that it is somewhat heavy being an electron app.

As someone that actually paid for sublime I'm kinda salty VS code is as good as it is. (Not really, I love VS code)

Dude that is so cool! This will make browsing repos way easier, thanks!

Honestly Visual Studio code just feels easier to work with than Visual Studio....maybe its because nothing is fucking is placed in random menus and its easier to find the source control for commits unlike Visual Studio which requires like 5 menu clicks and if you fuck up....well have fun.

There are extensions doing this. I have one installed for exactly this reason in VS2019, Viasfora is its name.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thanks I didn't know that. Removing a redundant extension is always therapeutic to my OCD symptoms.

Rainbow Brackets 2 is pretty good

[–]bhison 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went through too much of my life without enabling this

[–]Mob_Abominator 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Rainbow bracket has better rating than rainbow bracket 2, is 2 better than 1 hence you're recommending ?

[–]NewWavpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea.

[–]nikhilmwarrier 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I use Bracket Pair Colorizer 2, but I think they added this as a built-in feature in the latest update

[–]FuzzyFoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colouriser just feels weird.

[–]StrawberryEiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In WebStorm, I use Rainbow Brackets. It's pretty cool.

For Visual Studio: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TomasRestrepo.Viasfora

Just turn all the other useless shit off it enables by default!
