What are Visual Studio Code extensions?

Extensions are basically external tools that helps you to implement new features. I hope you understood very easily.

Now, let's get to the topic and see the best extensions of Visual Studio Code for improving your web development properties.

In total, there are 10 extensions that will help you to improve your writing skills, productivity and also save time.

Auto-Save on Window Change

You can predict it's work from it's name. this extension helps you to to increase you coding efficiency. What exactly it does is when you switch from Visual Studio Code to any other software or window, it automatically saves the page.

For example - When you are creating front-end features and want to check your website in browser every time, so it is irritating to press ctrl+s every time. So this is solution.

Every-time you switch the window, the page will automatically save.

Auto Rename tag

You must be thinking that this extension just auto renames the tags, but what exactly is renaming the tag?

Let's take a example - When you are writing codes, it is obvious that you will make mistakes. One of the mistake is that let's say you want to add a section tag but you placed div tag by mistake.

Then, you will have to delete the tag and add the tag another time, right? You will say, "What a big deal, I will do it so easily". Yes, it is easy to do this one time, two times, but you will start getting irritated the third time.

So, with the help of this extension, when you change the starting tag, the closing tag will automatically change. If you still can't understand, I recommend downloading and using the extension.

Better Comments
