Visual Studio Code

This guide discusses different problems and solutions found for Visual Studio Code (specifically its Open Source fork VSCodium), all of the info will come out of working on Linux (Manjaro-Gnome) so Linux related quirks or problems will come up for sure.

Settings

These are my personal settings:

{
    "workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme",
    "editor.rulers": [80, 120, 144],
    "[markdown]": {
        "editor.unicodeHighlight.ambiguousCharacters": false,
        "editor.unicodeHighlight.invisibleCharacters": false,
        "diffEditor.ignoreTrimWhitespace": false,
        "editor.wordWrap": "off",
        "editor.quickSuggestions": {
            "comments": "off",
            "strings": "off",
            "other": "off"
        }
    },
    "extensions.experimental.affinity": {
        "asvetliakov.vscode-neovim": 1
    }
}

NOTE: A specific rule I have is to never wrap text, rulers are there for a reason, and I don’t want the editor wrapping text to give me a false sense of security that my line is not too long, Visual Studio by default has markdown with wrapping text, I overrode that on the settings.
