VSCode Positron

[Stephen Moss]

I created this extension for VSCode IDE to help develop your beautiful compilers further.

I am not clear on the differences between VSCode and Visual Studio, would it also work in Visual Studio or is it strictly VSCode only?

[atomix]

Only VSCode IDE.

That is excellent Atomix, and you have my thanks.

You and JohnB and Norm have created wonderful IDEs for the users, and I am forever grateful to you all.

Hi Atomix,

I am trying out this IDE. But cannot get two things.

1. How to install a programmer?
2. Under explorer on the left had side, how can see Labels, Procedures, Symbol etc...?

Thank you

Joe

[atomix]

1) Settings -> pos.main.programmer (https://protoncompiler.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=732.0;attach=961;image)

  And also if in the folder with the program (* .bas) there is a file "programmer.cmd" then it starts with parameters:

  programmer.cmd devname "hexfile"

2) Find "outline" -> https://protoncompiler.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=732.0;attach=1217;image

Excellent work Atomix.

From day one of using the Visual Studio Code IDE, I have had issues with font clarity on the screen.

I always use Courier New font, but in the Visual Studio Code IDE, it is very faded and is sometimes harder to read. It is the same with all fonts. Has anyone else seen this?

I have attached a screenshot with the Visual Studio in the left hand side of the desktop, and the standard IDE on the right hand side. You can see the differences in the font clarity. They are both using exactly the same font and font size etc...

Any ideas how to correct this within the Visual Studio IDE. It does not occur in my other Windows applications I use. But when I use Visual Studio for other C++ programs, it is the same, and makes it harder to work within it.

[atomix]

I have everything perfectly on my computer.

Maybe it will help you - https://medium.com/kasun-kodagoda/fix-text-becomes-blurry-when-vs-code-application-loses-focus-issue-on-windows-d95697b2f927

Thanks for the link Atomix.

I tried it and it has not made any difference at all, unfortunately. :-)

With Windows 10, the properties window mechanism is different to what is documented in the link, so I created a .bat file to run the IDE with the command parameters, so it does the same thing:

code.exe --disable-gpu --enable-use-zoom-for-dsf

It runs the IDE no problem, but the faded font issue is still there.

[atomix]

Sorry but its problem in chromium engine - https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-bring-sharp-fonts-back-in-google-chrome-disable-directwrite

[atomix]

You can try to change in the settings Windows 10  -> DPI Scaling settings = 125 % and setup font size 16 in VSCode IDE.

Atomix, is there a way to jump to error or warnig line directly from Output message ? Like Crtl + click on warning line number

I will realize it later, while I am very busy.
