5:23 The version number was 1.101 where the 101 is subversion 100+1 for the major version 1, not a floating point number 1.101.

NOOOO VS CODE LIGHT MODE IS NOT ALLOWED MY EYES ARE BURNINGGGG

[@7dotdev]

haha. I use dark mode when I'm not recording screencasts, don't worry!

[@fiscalinsightinfo]

hi how do you make your vcode look so clean? is there a video showing how you made it like that?

[@7dotdev]

For screencasts, I use Ayu Light, and I disable as many UI features as possible - minimap, sidebar, all hints/autocomplete, etc. When I'm coding day to day, it looks a lot "messier" because I want the autocomplete hints, etc.

I have a subscription for Github Copilot. When I want to use Copilot Chat am I asked to introduce my api key. Do I have to pay another subscription to use Copilot chat?

[@felipefranke5682]

You don't have to pay for Copilot Chat.

How do you get Copilot to show full code block suggestions from typing comments?
My Copilot is only ever suggesting 1 line at a time, and no multiple suggestions. I have to hit Tab and Enter for each line which is extremely annoying.

[@havocblast8737]

Edit -> Copilot Suggestion -> Open Copilot. This will open a window that will give you what you are looking for.

[@felipefranke5682]

Just write some code and accept a few suggestions, your big boy copilot will start feeling confident to show more lines for you

[@havocblast8737]

If you write a comment describing a task copilot will suggest code. I used this to help going from C++ to Python on the different syntax.

[@eddierendini]

Does anyone know the name of the VS Code theme used in this video?

[@7dotdev]

Ayu Light! The dark theme is great too.

[@IdOnThAvEaUsE69]

@@7dotdev Yeah, I got flasbanged when you showed VS Code. Great video tho! Can't use Copilot unfortunately, 'cause I'm broke xd. Do you have any free recommendations? Ideally I'd like it to work with Unity C# code.

[@dorukbebek]

if they mak it free fore every one they support the world to be go better and faster and vs code platform will grow up biger then the others this is what will happen if it is free for every one

[@RafaelLVx]

They don't want a bigger and more costly free platform, they want more revenue, and you would too.

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

DO YOU WORK FOR FREE TOO? IF NO, WHY? Do you think AI servers do not cost? RnD do not cost? microsoft spend billions and you want for free because you a so cheap it's a lot for you 10$ a month? It's eas to do nothing and only sya.oh if they give us stuff for free that wuld be soo cool and green..we gen Z want everything for free.

[@808MELOW]

bro running and developing a Ai model is pretty costly.

[@felipefranke5682]

Well they can make it cheaper..

[@DOOM11777]

Why do you have your vscode all white its blinding so it makes the video hard to watch. DONT WATCH THIS VIDEO
