The November update for Visual Studio Code is here. Fortunately, unlike last month, the November 1.96 release has several improvements to the core of Visual Studio Code itself, instead of just more Microsoft CoPilot and GitHub integrations.
Highlight features of Visual Studio Code November 2024 update include:
- Overtype mode – Switch between overwrite or insert mode in the editor
- Add imports on paste – Automatically add missing TS/JS imports when pasting code
- Test coverage – Quickly filter which code is covered by a specific test
- Move views – Easily move views between the Primary and Secondary Side Bar
- Terminal ligatures – Use ligatures in the terminal
- Extension allow list – Configure which extensions can be installed in your organization
- Debug with Copilot – Use copilot-debug terminal command to start a debugging session
- Chat context – Add symbols and folders as context Chat and Edits
- Move from chat to Copilot Edits – Switch to Copilot Edits to apply code suggestions from Chat
