  • This particular release didn't seem to add much to the core app in terms of features, but it's nice to see they're putting work into making the rest of the ecosystem better.

    The thing I'm really hoping they fix is the Find / Select feature gap to help power users:

    Find & Select supportFind StringFind Regex
    & Select every matchSupported!Supported!
    & Select which matchSupported!No Support

    I made a bug for it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/212562

    Besides that, and maybe better modal support (for improved vi mode, or alternate modes like kakoune/helix), I'm not really seeing any notable feature gaps anymore, which is great!
