# Code editor setup used in the course

## Brackets (First part of the course)

### Theme

I use the `OS X Style | Flat & Dark` Brackets theme throughout most of the course.

### Extensions used in course videos

`Autosave Files on Window Blur` to automatically save files when leaving the Brackets app.

`Brackets Icons` to display colorful filetype icons in the filetree.


## VSCode (Second part of the course)

### Theme

I use the `Oceanic Next` theme with the dimmed bg option. [Link →](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=naumovs.theme-oceanicnext)

### Settings

If you want your editor to work and look exactly the same way as mine does in the course videos, you can copy these settings to your own settings file. Just go to settings in VSCode, and on the right side, you can paste this code.

```
{
  "workbench.colorTheme": "Oceanic Next (dimmed bg)",
  "files.autoSave": "onFocusChange",
  "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
  "workbench.statusBar.visible": true,
  "workbench.activityBar.visible": true,
  "editor.formatOnSave": false,

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "statusBar.background": "#333333",
    "statusBar.noFolderBackground": "#333333",
    "statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#263238"
  },
  "editor.fontSize": 16,

  "css.validate": false,
  "scss.validate": false,
  "less.validate": false,
  "editor.wordWrap": "on"
}
```
