Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this topic hub.

What are the most useful VS Code features?

The integrated terminal, built-in debugger, command palette, multi-cursor editing, and the extension ecosystem. Learning the command palette alone (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P) unlocks nearly everything the editor can do.

Which VS Code extensions should I install?

It depends on your stack, but common picks include a linter/formatter (like ESLint and Prettier), Git tooling like GitLens, and language-specific extensions. Avoid installing too many — each one adds startup and memory overhead.
