There's a number of extensions (plugins) for Visual Code. You can install these extensions via the extensions manager, just search for the various names. Alternatively, you can run the "ext install" command via the command prompt (cmd-P).
Must have
These are the extensions we believe you really will want to use. Remember that some of them require other software, like the CScope tools (via HomeBrew).
- ms-vscode.cpptools: C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing
- ext install ms-vscode.cpptools
- eamodio.gitlens: GitLense - Git Super Charged
- ext install eamodio.gitlens
- CoenraadS.bracket-pair-colorizer: A customizable extension for colorizing matching brackets
- ext install CoenraadS.bracket-pair-colorizer
- EditorConfig: EditorConfig Support for Visual Studio Code
- ext install EditorConfig
- xaver.clang-format: Use Clang-Format in Visual Studio Code
- ext install xaver.clang-format
- maelvalais.autoconf: Syntax support for the Autoconf M4 and Automake files (Autotools)
- ext install maelvalais.autoconf
