Code

NOTE: As of 2021, I have no interest in the (vs)code text editor. Although the out-of-the-box features are nice and all, trying to emulate vim-like functionality was more pain than it was worth (even after using vscode-neovim). Additionally, the battery drain is unreal compared to running an equivalent neovim experience.

If you want (vs)code to honor pywal color schemes, use vscode-wal.

Code is an open source build of a popular GUI text editor.

Use Cases

Code can be used to:

• Navigate graphical file trees entirely with the mouse
• Provide an editor for non-vim users as needed
• Perform a myriad of common command line operations through a point-click GUI

You should not use Code if:

• You want to learn how compilers, git, find, grep, and other software work
• You want to learn vim, the standard text editor

Usage

Once Code is installed, run make code-extensions to install the extensions I use.
