Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.129. The main novelty of this version is the preview of the updated interface, along with several other useful features that have been added to the editor.
The new design is called Modern UI and is currently available in experimental mode. To enable it, you need to open settings, find the "modern" parameter, and activate the Workbench > Experimental: Modern UI.
After this, the side panels and the bottom part of the interface start to display as separate floating blocks with rounded corners. Thanks to the new margins and a lighter design, the editor looks more modern, and its design better matches the Agents window.
An experimental editor has also appeared in the Agents window. Previously, the correspondence with the AI agent, files, and changes made by it were located in different parts of the interface. Now the editor and the results panel have been merged into one space with a common tab panel. This significantly simplifies code review and allows for less frequent switching between different areas of the program.
Another useful feature concerns working with the terminal. Now, a message in the chat can start with an exclamation mark (!), and its content will be executed as a command. This functionality works both in the main editor window and in Agents.
Visual Studio Code 1.129 is already available to users. The update is distributed through the built-in update system, and it can also be installed manually if necessary.
