VSCode configuration doubt

[neuromaancer]

Recently, I have to use VS Code for a while, and I know there is an Extra module that I can use Neovim in VS Code. I have enabled this module, and there is one doubt, according to LazyVim VS Code, I have to set vim.g.vscode to true in config.lua to enable the LazyVim via vscode-neovim in VS Code? Or it enabled automatically when I open vscode? If I need to enable it manually, is there a way to automate the toggle action? Or I need a key mapping to toggle it?

Okay, actually, vscode-neovim will set vim.g.vscode to true when entering the VS Code. No need to set vim.g.vscode manually.

How is your experience with vscode-neovim so far? Could you elaborate a bit more on your setup? For example, do you use the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=asvetliakov.vscode-neovim plugin or is there some other configuration involved?

I think it is pretty good!
Yes, in order to use neovim in VS Code, you have to use this extension, and you can check its README.md to configure your own neovim setup. I don't think you need other new plugins to have the same experience in VS Code. Just need to do some key mappings in VS Code to make it actually like Neovim. Below is my keybindings.json:

I use expand_region and toggleBool plugins for my personal taste only.

Thank you for sharing your setup. One more question if you don't mind: what about your VSCode extensions? Do you mix and match neovim extensions or rely solely on LazyVim and your Neovim/VSCode configuration? I've personally had issues with rendering, error messages in the inline vim diagnostics errors, etc. all probably due to conflicting plugins / extensions.

[neuromaancer]

I don't have special set up for my vscode extensions. Neovim only takes care of editing and navigation in files. The rest of your personal needs you can have corresponding extensions to meet. I don't know which extensions you have conflicts with, but the vscode-neovim extension README would be very helpful for your concerns. At let, it is helpful for me.
