|Name=Visual Studio Code
 
|Short description=Source code editor written on Electron framework
 
|Full description=Visual Studio Code is a free software source code editor developed by Microsoft. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It is also customizable, so users can change the editor's theme, keyboard shortcuts, and preferences.
 
 
 
Visual Studio Code is based on Electron, a framework which is used to deploy Node.js applications for the desktop running on Blink layout engine. Although it also uses the Electron framework, the software is not a fork of Atom.
 
 
 
Warning: By default, Visual Studio Code will send “anonymous” usage data to Microsoft. To change this, go to File > Preferences > User Settings and add the following two lines.
 
<code>"telemetry.enableCrashReporter": false
 
"telemetry.enableTelemetry": false</code>
 
  
Warning: version on code.visualstudio.com (official download link) is *proprietary* (see https://code.visualstudio.com/license). In order to get free version it is necessary to build it from the source code (or use Flathub OSS version - com.visualstudio.code.oss)
