Amazing Updates in VS Code 1.86 (January 2024)

Version 1.86 of VS Code has some very nice updates:

• Say "Hey Code" and initiate a Copilot Chat!
  • The voice recognition is local and doesn't send anything to any server
  • The chat can start within the chat view, the quick chat control, and the inline chat in the editor
• View multiple files in the diff editor: see all changes in one scrolling view
• Zoom the terminal with the mouse wheel: handy when you're screen-sharing and need to zoom in
• Paste a link and it turns into a Markdown link: select text, paste the link, annnnnnnnd, you're done! It's Markdown link with the correct formatting. This saves a bit of time if you're writing a blog post in Markdown for example!
• Remote Development updates
  • Create a devcontainer.json in your user data: The advantage of this is that you won't overwrite any devcontainer in the workspace and won't have an outgoing change.
  • Specify build options for Docker images in devcontainer.json
