Live preview
See a web page you are building beside your code, updating as you type.
When you would want it
Saving, switching to a browser, and refreshing is three steps too many when you are adjusting a layout.
Where to find it
- All Features → Live preview
- Open (command:preview.toggle)
How to use it, step by step
- Open a HTML file and start the preview.
- It reloads itself when you save.
Why this beats the usual way
Terminal, run button, live preview, collaboration, and a command palette that indexes everything: the pieces that make an editor a workbench are built in rather than assembled from extensions, and each one degrades honestly - telling you what is missing instead of failing mysteriously.
