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
