    Super excited for the multi-file diffs and the triggered breakpoints, though…

    Hey Code voice command - Start a chat session with a voice command.

    …who thought this was necessary? This reeks “I need to add ‘voice assistant’ to my resume”

      You may not find a use for it, and neither do I in my workflow. But think about accessibility - it might enable some users to perform tasks the find physically difficult using just their voice.

      Or, you can go get a beer or a [slice of] pizza, and call out to vscode from across the room to build your app or start a server or something.

        I can buy that angle.

        I just assume third party software strictly intended for helping those needing voice control would handle the job better compared to (what seems like) a one-off feature that might not get dedicated care. But I’ve never used those tools to know anything about them.

          Indeed - users that need accessable features should not rely on each piece of software they use to supply them. But even as a one-off feature, it is a good thing to have IMO, as it will certainly expose APIs and hooks in vscode for other accessibility software to utilize.

          Also, open source, learning, and all that jazz.

      I don’t even get why companies are pushing “AI” tools, what do they think they’ll accomplish by doing so?

        The wild part is, I don’t think whoever implemented this thought about who actually uses VSCode lol.

        I work remote right now but I would scream if I had a coworker talking to their IDE all day long.

    Sticky Scroll in tree views and notebooks

    Fucking. Yes.

    I fuckin’ love Sticky Scroll. Makes it way easier to see where the hell I am, both in code and a giant list of files!

    Triggered Breakpoints

    Didn’t know this was even a concept, but really good to know (besides the Conditional Breakpoint)
