The stable version of Visual Studio Code 1.51 has been released.

Update highlights

Support customizing the size of the smart prompt panel

This version has improved the UI of the smart prompt panel. Drag the side or corner of the control to adjust the size.

Highlight the fixed label

Even if a fixed label is in an inactive state, it will now always display an icon representing the fixed state, which is convenient for users to identify. If a label is fixed and contains unsaved changes, its icon will reflect both states at the same time, as shown in the figure below for the label named "v1_51.md".

"Local Echo" mode added to the terminal

When you modify files or create folders in the terminal, you usually need to send the information to the terminal process for processing, and then return to VS Code, so that the operation takes effect. However, when the network connection to the SSH server or Codespace is poor, such operations may be slow.

Therefore, the new version adds a "local echo" mode to the terminal, which tries to predict the modification and cursor movement to be made locally, and displays it in the UI without going back and forth to the server. By default, predicted characters are displayed in a "dimming" style.

There are two settings to configure this mode:

  • terminal.integrated.localEchoLatencyThreshold This option is used to configure the detected delay threshold (in milliseconds), at which local echo will be activated. You can set it to 0 to always turn on the feature, or you can set it to -1 to disable the feature. The default value is 30.
  • terminal.integrated.localEchoStyle This option is used to configure the style or color of local characters, the default isdim

Support for installing extensions without synchronizing settings

Even though Visual Studio Code has enabled settings sync, users can choose not to sync when installing the extension.

Support for installing extensions from Explorer

The new version supports the installation of files with the extension VSIX from the Explorer by right-clicking the VSIX file and selecting the Install Extension VSIX context menu item.

Add new learning resources for beginners

A new "Learn to Code" landing page has been added to the official website , which contains Coding Pack and new content for novice programmers. In addition,  many learner-friendly videos and resources have been created on the  code.visualstudio.com/le arn website.

Visual Studio Code 1.51 also improves and optimizes the Source Control panel, browser support, and remote development functions. For details, see the release announcement .
