VSCode Files

Development Build System

There are some not-checked-in files that are used for building and editing in VSCode. Every now and again, when I wipe out a ren-c clone, this information is lost.

Posting it here is as good as anywhere:

.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",

If anyone is using GitHub CoPilot in VSCode, there is a crappy behavior where cursoring up in the chat scrolls to previous chats if you hit the top of the input window.

It's like they don't use their own software.

You can get rid of it with adding this to Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)

{
    "command": "-history.showPrevious",
    "key": "up"
  },
  {
    "command": "-history.showNext",
    "key": "down"
  },
  {
    "command": "history.showPrevious",
    "key": "up",
    "when": "historyNavigationBackwardsEnabled && historyNavigationWidgetFocus && !isComposing && !suggestWidgetVisible && !inChat"
  },
  {
    "command": "history.showNext",
    "key": "down",
    "when": "historyNavigationForwardsEnabled && historyNavigationWidgetFocus && !isComposing && !suggestWidgetVisible && !inChat"
  }
