# VSCodium

* [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/) is the Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VS Code
* It's a great tool because you can open code repo and it has lots of extentions.

## Command palette

If you go to `view > Command Palette` this is the place where you will be able to type any command you need to execute. You can also launch it with ctrl+shift+p.

* `theme` this will suggest different themes for the editor
* If you remove `>` and type `?` you will have commands suggested to you

## Keyboards shortcut

* `ctrl+shift+p` Open the command palette
* `Ctrl+P` quickly open files from the current folder you are using
* `` Ctrl+` `` Opent the integrated terminal
* `CTRL+/` comment a code block
* `Ctrl+K+U` uncomment a code block

## Integrated terminal

* If you open the integrated terminal your prompt will be at the location of your folder. It can be conveninent for git.
* [Documentation for the Integrated Terminal](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics)

## Configuration file

You can use a configuration file for vscodium or your extensions.\
You need to put it in a `.vscode` folder and name it `settings.json`.\
For example this line has been made for the extension Dendron Paste Image.

```json
{
  "pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/res/"
}
```

It basically says to paste image to a res folder in the root project.

Another example is this one that will allow me to avoid autocompletion when using quotes.

```json
"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never"
```

## Vocabulary

* **Intellisense** is the feature that allows you to have code completion. Sometimes it will not come with vscode or codium so you will need an extension

## Add the same share on multiple lines at the same time

* Say you want to add `-` on multiple lines.
* Select all the lines you want to modify or ctrl+A if you want to do this on the whole document
* Press `SHIFT + ALT + I`
* Press home to go to the begining of the line make you modification :)

## Misc tips

* If you drag and drop a file from a folder to vscode or codium it will automatically create a copy of the file in the folder you are currently working on.
