Abstract
Guidance on setting up a fresh visual studio code installation.
Introduction
This is one of a series of posts where I document software configurations for personal reference. This post documents the configurations for Visual Studio Code.
Installation
Although vscode can be installed from Ubuntu software center, some issues (perhaps relating to dependencies) may arise and prevent input methods such as ibus and fcitx from working properly. To work around it, instal vscode using the packages provided by the official site: https://code.visualstudio.com/.
