In programming, a cursor is a visual indicator that shows the current location for inserting or deleting text. The type of cursor can depend on the program or situation. In most text editors, there are usually two types of cursors:

1. Block cursor: A square-shaped cursor that replaces the entire character space, also known as a "box cursor".
2. Line cursor: A vertical line cursor that only replaces a single character space.

Here's an example of how to change the cursor type in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) using the "editor.cursorStyle" setting in the "settings.json" file:

json
 
 
Copy code
// Set the cursor to a block cursor
"editor.cursorStyle": "block"

// Set the cursor to a line cursor
"editor.cursorStyle": "line"

CodeSandbox provides a feature that allows you to enable or disable alerts while coding. If you don't want to get alerts while you are coding, you can disable them.

To disable alerts in CodeSandbox, click on the bell icon on the top bar of the editor or find the settings section on your left-hand side navigation bar that looks like a gear or 3 sliders, and scroll to Alerts. You can then toggle the "Show Alerts" switch to "Off". This will stop alerts from appearing while you write code.

Here's an example of how to do it:

javascript
 
 
Copy code
// JavaScript code example
// Click on the bell icon or settings section and toggle "Show Alerts" to "Off"

For more information on CodeSandbox alerts, you can visit the official documentation https://codesandbox.io/docs/alerts

To make sure that Prettier is displaying at the bottom of your Visual Studio Code window, you can try the following steps:

1. Install the Prettier - Code formatter extension in Visual Studio Code.
   • You can do this by going to the Extensions view (Ctrl + Shift + X) and searching for "prettier". Then click the Install button.
2. Open your Visual Studio Code settings.
   • You can do this via the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and searching for "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)".
3. Add the following line to your settings.json file: "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
4. Save the settings.json file.
5. Open a file that is compatible with Prettier and try to format it to see if it's working.

Here is an example of how your settings.json file should look like after adding the above line:

json
 
 
Copy code
{
    ...
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    ...
}

I hope this helps!

There may be several reasons why your Prettier formatter is not working even after restarting Visual Studio. Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help:

• Make sure the Prettier extension is installed: You can check for installed extensions by clicking on the Extensions button on the left bar of Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Search for "prettier" and make sure it is installed.
• Check your VS Code settings: Sometimes, the settings in VS Code may conflict with Prettier. Go to File > Preferences > Settings, search for "prettier" and make sure the settings are correct.
• Check for conflicts with other extensions: Other extensions may be conflicting with Prettier, causing it not to work correctly. Try disabling other extensions to see whether that resolves the issue.
• Reinstall the Prettier extension: If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Prettier extension.

Here's an example of how to reinstall the Prettier extension in VS Code:

javascript
 
 
Copy code
1. Click on the Extensions button on the left bar of VS Code
2. Search for "prettier" and click on "Uninstall"
3. Once it's uninstalled, restart VS Code
4. Go back to the Extensions panel and search for "prettier" again
5. Click on "Install" to reinstall the extension
6. Once it's installed, restart VS Code again

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to seek additional technical support or consult online resources.

In VSCode, you can enable the setting for Format on Paste and Save by following these steps:

To set up VS Code, you can follow these steps:

1. Download and install the latest version of VS Code from here.
2. Once installed, open VS Code and follow the instructions on the Signing in page.
3. Select the Extensions view on the left menu (or press Ctrl+Shift+X) and search for the extension you need.
4. Click Install to install the extension and once complete, click Reload to finish the installation.
5. Finally, click the gear icon (or press Ctrl+,) and select Settings to select your preferred settings.

It's likely that you'll need to update the settings on your computer to allow downloads from third-party sources. To do this, you'll need to follow the instructions here to adapt your security settings. Once that is complete, you should be able to open the Git software and download the necessary files.

In Visual Studio Code, you can make a font weight thin by navigating to File > Preferences > Settings, then adding this line to your "editor.fontWeight": "100" in your user settings.

It is likely that you are encountering a problem related to your code editor's syntax highlighting settings. It's possible that you have a language-specific option configured so that multiple-line lists appear united by a single underline. To correct this issue, you can explore the relevant settings in the code editor. For example, in Visual Studio Code, open the settings page by accessing the File menu -> Preferences -> Settings. You can then search for options related to language settings and explore the relevant settings for your programming languages.
