Visual studio code is added as plugin in ubuntu

Launched in 2015 by Microsoft, Visual Studio Code has established itself as one of the preferred code editors in the developer community. Being cross-platform it has more than 3, 000 extensions in any language that covers practically all the needs for application developers.

Visual Studio Code: A versatile and open source code editor

In case you want to install Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu, type the following command in terminal.

sudo snap install --classic vscode

With just two years of life, it is already one of the favorite editors for developers thanks to its multiplatform, but there are other virtues that make it one of the best of its kind. Let's see what they are.

Why is it one of the most used?

• Smart completion based on types and functionsA versatile built-in debuggerBuilt-in git support with an accessible user interface for git commandsAnd of course, support for extensions, which makes life easier for thousands of users who use it.

One of the great advantages of Visual Studio Code is that, thanks to the extensions, you can emulate the keyboard shortcuts of other editors, such as Vim, Emacs, Sublime , among others, very useful if we were already used to working with any of them, since we don't have to relearn new shortcuts.

Visual Studio Code as a plug-in for Ubuntu is easily installable and automatically updates on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and the latest versions of Ubuntu systems and derivatives.
