For open visual studio code, it is simple, simply type vscode in terminal and hit enter but here is a problem if you exit the terminal your VS code will be terminated but how do fixed it!!! 

 

 

 

How to set VS code in Panel 

So now we will see some steps, with the help of which we will be able to set up VS Code in the Linux panel. 

Step 1 - Open panel preferences

Step 2 - add some launcher so click on add button

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3 - select launcher and add it..

 

 

Step 5 - As you can see the launcher has been created

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6 - Double click on the launcher, after that a box will open next to you, in which you have to click on the plus icon.

 

 

Step 7 -Then we find a VS code installation file, so simple type "locate vscode" and as you can see /home/hackerboy/.vscode file, copy this (There may be a different directory in your case). NOTE - this is optional. 

 

 

 

 

Step 8 - Then, add Name, command and working directory and add icon

Name - visual studio code ( you can change )

Command - vscode (not change)

Working Directory - /home/hackerboy/.vscode (There may be a different directory in your case).

Icon - Click Here 

 

Create.

 

 

 

 

Step 9 - You can easily open it whenever you want 

 

Customization 

Before running the program in Visual Code, we will do some setting which will help you a lot in automation means to run the code smoothly. for example

IDE :- python, c/c++ ✅

Code runner :- clear previous output ✅

Code runner :- run in terminal ✅

Code runner :- save file before run ✅

 

Click on extension section

 

 

 

 

 

Search code runner and install them

 

 

 

 

 

 

then go to setting option and in user simple search code runner

Then tick mark on -

clear previous output ✅

Code runner :- run in terminal ✅

Code runner :- save file before run ✅

 

 

 

 

 

 

so as you can after installing IDE (IDE already installed in VS code) as you can see our c++ program is running. 

 

 

 

Vola!!!

 

A few notes about code-oss (aka VSCode): (credit kali linux)

• We are compiling this from source, rather than using the pre-built binaries
•  
• The upside to this is that telemetry data is disabled by default
•  
• The downside is that some aspects of the marketplace may not work. If you find these limitations a problem, you may wish to uninstall the Kali package and switch to the VSCode pre-built binaries
  

You also may question why it was named code-oss, rather than code

• Code-OSS is what the source-code calls itself, which is used as the base before the configurations are applied for the pre-compiled binaries that gets distributed as “code”.
•  
• As we are using the source-code, we used the variables defined by it.
•  
• The two different names help to distinguish the differences between them (also prevents any clashes and conflicts!).
•  
• We also included various aliases in our package to help bridge between the two different versions. Meaning, calling vscode and code will use our package, code-oss, with a friendly notice (when installed).
