Multiple Feature Ideas For Vscode

Vscode Editor Most Wanted Features

Web Development Features

These features focuses on web development side of our vast developer community. Please do note that these features are in no certain order and these are taken from most of the developers collectively asking for these features.

• Browser Element Highlighting : We're very well familiar with Bracket Editor which is also a code editor but specialized for web development purposes though its development is almost next to none now and community is working on it but not as much as before now. So many people want one of the most helpful feature of that editor which is live browser changes and also element highlighting as we change a element in our code editor.

  Controversy : A lot of people have been complaining that Vscode team keep referring to a Extension called "Vscode live server" for providing hot reload capabilities but the main thing to notice here is that extension is not even close to providing experience of Bracket Code Editor and Team still keeps referring to that extension again and again......which is obviously kind of disappointing.

• Synced Scrolling : Synced scrolling is also a thing which could be life changing for some developers. This feature focuses on syncing scrolling in Vscode and browser as new elements are being added and new changes have been made in css or preprocessors.

• Sass Indented Flavor : Some people like the pain old css way of doing stuff in preprocessors like scss and we do agree with that though we're not comparing it with the indented flavor of sass and now we've to again point out the fact that more and more people keep complaining that Vscode team keep referring to a extension called "Live Sass Compier" and its kinda pointless to use that extension because Vscode itself has no syntax highlighting for that particular flavor which kinda make users experience look like writing html in notepad which is obviously great in a non sensical way.

These are the three most requested features for now I'll post more as I research and talk to multiple people in our community

Please like this issue to show support for these features and if these features interests you in any way this will help Vscode team focus on these features in upcoming updates

Thanks 😊

Done already @bpasero thanks for looking into these features many developers like myself awaits these features even though yeah some extensions are there to provide similar functionality but still they're not perfect and it'll be really awesome if vscode comes with these features inbuilt so we don't have to go through the hassle of installing another plugin for something we do daily in our workflow
