Preference settings

Following is NOT an exhaustive list of all preference settings that are available. There are more, but these are just the ones I have so far found useful.

To access settings, go to File > Preferences > Settings, or press CTRL + ,

Setting	Description
editor.minimap.enabled	Controls whether the minimap is shown.
editor.renderControlCharacters	Controls whether the editor should render control characters.
editor.renderWhitespace	Controls whether the editor should render whitespace characters.
explorer.compactFolders	Controls whether the explorer should render folders in a compact form. In such a form, single child folders will be compressed in a combined tree element. Useful for Java package structures, for example.
html.autoClosingTags	Enable/disable autoclosing of HTML tags.
javascript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled	Enable/disable automatic updating of import paths when you rename or move a file in VS Code. Requires using TypeScript 2.9 or newer in the workspace.
window.zoomLevel	Adjust the zoom level of the window. The original size is 0 and each increment above (e.g. 1) or below (e.g. -1) represents zooming 20% larger or smaller. You can also enter decimals to adjust the zoom level with a finer granularity.
workbench.tree.indent	Controls tree indentation in pixels.
workbench.tree.renderIndentGuides	Controls whether the tree should render indent guides.

Plugins

HTML Tag Wrap

Macbook Cheat Sheet

Plugin dependency: htmltagwrap

Wraps selected code with HTML tags.

Usage

Select one or more blocks of text or strings of text.
Press Alt + W or Option + W for Mac.
Type the tag name you want.

By default, pressing spacebar will deselect the closing tags, so you can add attributes to the opening tags (you can turn this feature off, see below). If nothing is selected when you run htmltagwrap, it will add an opening and closing tag at the cursor position.

NOTE: This extension works best in files that either use tabs or spaces for indentation. It may not work as well with mixed tabs/spaces.
