Visual Studio Code 1.34 has been released and includes enhancements for Remote Development as Preview. In addition, new features for the editor and the debugging as well as a new documentation are on board.

Microsoft has released the latest version of its free source code editor Visual Studio Code. The April release, VS Code 1.34, includes some new features, including previewing for VS-Code Insiders, a Python tutorial for use with Azure Functions, and What&rsquo;s New for Vetur. A debugging milestone is also announced by Microsoft.

<h2>Remote Development for Insiders</h2>

In April, Microsoft worked on new VS Code&nbsp;Extensions&nbsp;for remote development on WSL, SSH servers and in containers. Already earlier this month &ndash; before the Microsoft build 2019 &ndash; Remote Development for Visual Studio Code was announced on Twitter and caused many reactions there:

There are three preview extensions available for the Remote Development feature:

<ol>
<li><a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Remote &ndash; WSL</a>&nbsp;for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)</li>
<li><a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Remote SSH</a>&nbsp;for remote machines with an SSH server</li>
<li><a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Remote Containers</a>&nbsp;for Docker Containers</li>
</ol>

So far, the new extensions are only running on&nbsp;<a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">insider builds</a>&nbsp;of VS code that can be run alongside the stable build. The Visual Studio&nbsp;<a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2019/05/02/remote-development" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog</a>&nbsp;has all the information you need about Remote Development.

<h2>Features in Visual Studio code 1.34</h2>

As a milestone Microsoft calls the possibility to debug in VS code 1.34 at the same time several Extensions. Especially when developing tightly coupled or interdependent extensions this should be useful.

The Vetur extension for Vue tooling offers some new features in VS Code 1.34 &ndash; semantic diagnostics, hover information, jump-to-definition, and the JavaScript expression reference search within the Vue Template Interpolation Region:

In addition, the feature CodeLens should have become more stable when switching between editors. Python also gets&nbsp;<a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/tutorial-azure-functions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new documentation</a>&nbsp;for deployment to Azure Functions, and some bugfixes are included again.

Visual Studio Code 1.34: Remote Development as a preview feature

Microsoft&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">released</a>&nbsp;the source code of a new Windows Terminal application today featuring multi-tab support, improved font rendering, and more.

The company&nbsp;<a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-windows-terminal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans</a>&nbsp;to add Windows Terminal to the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 devices soon to make it available to more users.

Windows Terminal won't replace any command line interface of the Windows operating system, at least not in the near future. Microsoft positions it as a new modern interface that developers and administrators may use instead of the command line interfaces that are included in the Windows operating system.

The decision to create a new Terminal application for Windows was made after it became clear that the Windows console host, conhost.exe, could not be used to implement many of the features that Microsoft and the community wanted.

<h3>Windows Terminal</h3>

One of the big features of the new Windows Terminal application is multi-tab support. You may remember that Microsoft planned to introduce support for tabs natively to the Shell in the Windows 10 operating system but&nbsp;decided to remove&nbsp;the feature that it&nbsp;called Sets&nbsp;again from development builds.

Sets allowed anyone&nbsp;to combine multiple application windows in a single container for easier handling and manageability.

Windows Terminal's tab support feature adds options to launch multiple different terminals from a single command line interface. You can use it to run PowerShell, the Command Prompt, and any installed Linux Terminal, and to switch between the terminals with just a click on a tab in the program window.

The new terminal application is fully backwards compatible with existing solutions.

Microsoft notes that Windows Terminal uses a GPU accelerated DirectWrite/DirectX-based text rendering engine. It paves the way for using any text character, symbol, emoji, ligatures, or glyphs installed on the device next to improved text output and rendering improvements.

Microsoft created a new monospaced font for Windows Terminal that includes programming ligatures and will be open sourced as well.

Windows Terminal will provide users with customization and configuration options. Settings are stored in structured text files so that users may tinker with the settings directly. One interesting feature is the ability to configure each Terminal individually.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
These profiles can have their own combination of font styles and sizes, color themes, background blur/transparency levels, etc. You can now create your own custom-styled Terminal that is personalized to your unique taste!
