List of customization that you need to do on a fresh installed VS Code

VSCode

This repo has contains the list of tweaks I did to VSCode

Set up

After installation, launch VS Code. Now open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and type shell command to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.

and add

export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"

to your ~/.bash_profile. If you're using Zsh, add this to your ~/.zshrc

Minimap

By default, VSCode shows you minimap, to disable it, Click View Menu -> Select Toggle Minimap

File pane changes

When you open files(using control click/Side pane), VSCode will load the file on the same pane. You would need to change preview options to load them in different pane. To do, Code Menu -> Preference -> Settings. Search for Enable preview and uncheck it.

Configuring Keyboard shortcuts

You can change keyboard shortcuts as per your wish by placing them on keybinding.json. To do so, go to Code -> Preference -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Click on the keybindings.json and place your shortcuts there.
