When Microsoft released Visual Studio Code, I immediately switched to it because it was blazingly fast.

However, it was missing something. Extensions.

Finally Microsoft released the Marketplace.

Since then, I am always researching for the best extensions, but often they’re hidden by the oldest ones. So if you have something to suggest, please comment down, and I will add it on this list!

In the meanwhile, I suggest these amazing extensions that I use everyday!

Programming

expand-region The original expand-shrink region feature of vs-code does not work very well, this extension, works very well and it’s really similar to the Resharper Expand-Shrink region feature with ctrl+w and shift+ctrl+w Code Ace Jumper I wasn’t able to find an ‘ace-jump’ extension on vscode, so I had to write it myself.

This extension tries to emulate the famous ‘ace-jump’ extension available on Emacs.

Trust me, once you try it you will never come back.
