This is for the Microsoft Visual Studio Code (MS VSCode) text editor/IDE.
The .vscode
dir should be placed at the root of your workspace (ie: the folder you intend to open up via File --> Open Folder). You also have a user-level ~/.vscode
dir.
The settings.json
and keybindings.json
files should be copy-pasted into this dir: ~/.config/Code/User/
.

See .vscode/extensions/extensions.json for a list of recommendations. Place the .vscode
folder into the root of your VSCode workspace. Then, in VSCode, go to the Extensions tab and search for "@recommended". This will search this file for the recommendations therein and bring them all up under the "WORKSPACE RECOMMENDATIONS" search results section. Click the little tiny cloud-looking icon to the right of that heading to "Install Workspace Recommended Extensions" automatically for you!

cpptools
sucks up all of your RAM (ex: 32 GB+ of your 64 GB), consider uninstalling thec/c++
cpptools
or whatever, and installingclangd
instead, whatever that is. Someone recommended this to me.
