VS Code Live Share

Allowing Editing

• Editors: Live Share panel -> Participants -> right-click and choose “Make Read/Write”
• Terminals: Live Share panel -> Shared Terminals -> right-click and choose “Make Read/Write”

What Is and Isn’t Synced

• Always
  • State of the code. Others’ cursors and edits show in real time
  • Runtime environment. I believe the node_modules etc are all executed on the host’s machine
• Optional
  • Which file the driver is in, and scroll position. Click the “pin” icon at top-right of the editor to choose who to follow
• Never (avaik)
  • Split text editors
  • Which terminal the driver is in (so, it’s better to split terminals than use separate ones)
• Unknown
  • Font, size, editor theme
