About Awesome VSC Extensions

Awesome Visual Studio Code Extensions is a curated list of extensions for the Visual Studio Code editor, selected by the page's author from extensions they use every day. Each entry has a short description and links to its page on the official Microsoft Visual Studio Code Marketplace. The page states that the author considers activation time, file size, and usefulness when adding an extension. The list is updated periodically; the page shows version 1.0.6 and a last update dated 2025-08-05.

The list covers text editing, navigation, and display helpers, such as sorting and deduplicating lines, highlighting matching tags, and showing file size or path in the status bar. To install an extension, the page recommends searching for its exact name in the Extensions section of the Visual Studio Code sidebar. The page also notes that themes and icons are not included, and advises disabling or removing unused extensions to help keep the editor's performance up, especially at startup.
