This VS Code Live stream, released in January, highlights key updates in the v1.108 release, featuring product team members Olivia McVicker, Joao Moreno, Megan Rogge, and Burke Holland.
Key Highlights:
DocFind and Copilot Acceleration : Joao Moreno introduces a new, faster search experience on the VS Code website, mimicking the command palette. He explains how he used GitHub Copilot to accelerate the development of "DocFind," an open-source tool for fast client-side searching. Copilot significantly reduced development time, making a project that might have been abandoned due to time constraints achievable in 8-10 hours.
Accessible View
there are few Improvements m: Megan Rogge discusses enhancements to the accessible view, particularly for chat responses. The main improvement ensures that content streams dynamically without constantly shifting focus, which previously caused disruptive "dings" for screen reader users. Megan emphasizes the importance of collaborating with power screen reader users to refine accessibility features.
GitHub Copilot SDK Overview : Burke Holland introduces the Copilot SDK, which allows embedding the Copilot CLI into any application. He demonstrates how the SDK can be used for non-coding tasks, such as generating YouTube video titles, descriptions, and chapters from transcripts, and even controlling desktop functions. The SDK is currently available for TypeScript, Python, Go .
The stream also emphasizes VS Code's commitment to open-source contributions and self-hosting their tools.
