Visual Studio Live Share Preview

Re:Visual Studio Live Share Preview by kenning on Wednesday February 07, 2018 @12:26AM (#16322408)

Visual studio code is pretty great, been using it with typescript and c# but it can do a whole lot of things. also the vim plugin works better than sublimes'. They're doing a pretty good job speeding ahead of other editors in terms of features and plugin support.

Only thing is it's so slow. Just typing and navigating is pretty noticeably choppy. also it still has some memory leaks (although it used to be a lot worse)

I've been using vscode for dotnet core development for about a month now and I haven't had any of the issues you describe :S. I am running an alienware i7 laptop though...

I run it on a 12" Macbook 1.3ghz, running Windows 10 in bootcamp, and it doesn't have any of the issues he described either.

Sounds painful.

With Windows 10 it's not, it's painful when running OSX, the animations make it laggy and stutter, while Windows 10 gives me about ~3 hours more battery life (cos there's no gfx switching like in the Macbook Pro)

System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Reduce motion X, Reduce transparency X ?

Not sure what you mean by "gfx switching", as far as I know all 12" Macbook have only a integrated graphics card, no discrete graphics card.

With the Macbook Pro I get less battery life with Windows 10 because Apple forces Windows to only have access to the discrete graphics card. OSX can switch between the two so it's more efficient.

With the Macbook 12" I get more battery life, it seems Windows 10 is more power efficient than OSX. (I got the same as OSX when running Windows 7)

Typing is slow? It's the fastest IDE I use, and the 2nd fastest text editor behind sublime. It's probably the extensions you have installed, try disabling all of them to diagnose.

It's slower than sublime and it's slower than vim of course... i guess i have high standards

VSCode member here. Did you use the Vim emulator all the time, especially when you feel typing is slow? It would be awesome if you can provide more info in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues and we'd love to fix the problem. Laggy typing/navigating is always a high-priority bug to fix.

i think the most obvious example is probably impossible for you to fix. when i press c to replace a word, then navigate to the next instance of the same word and press period, it types each letter individually, including my typos and backspaces over the typos.

i know you guys are just interfacing with the vscode api so there's some things you simply can't do, like skipping over folded code when navigating with j/k.
