I am using Visual Studio Code for a lot of things but the most important are:

• Embedded C/C++ programming
• writing documentations and instructions in Markdown and reStructuredText
• generic editor for all kind of text files

Far from being perfect, it is my editor of choice and most of its functionality comes from extensions.

Extensions

I am using these:

• C/C++ ms-vscode.cpptools C/C++ for Visual Studio Code
• Code Spell Checker streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker
• EditorConfig for VS Code editorconfig.editorconfig
• markdownlint davidanson.vscode-markdownlint
• Python ms-python.python
• reStructuredText lextudio.restructuredtext
• Todo Tree gruntfuggly.todo-tree

I have used and maybe I will use again:

• Cisco IOS Syntax jamiewoodio.cisco
• Liquid Languages Support neilding.language-liquid
• hexdump for VSCode slevesque.vscode-hexdump
• Power Mode hoovercj.vscode-power-mode

    ],

}

I am using DejaVu Sans Mono but I have tested the others and left them there for reference if I will change my mind.

cSpell.userWord is incomplete, should be customized by each user.
