Version 1.96 of VS Code is out now with overtype mode, terminal ligatures, debugging with Copilot, and more! Full release notes: code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_96 Here are some of the highlights… 🧵

You can now use overtype mode to overwrite text in the editor instead of inserting it when typing. This mode can be toggled with the command “View: Toggle Overtype/Insert Mode”

You can now directly use the Move To context menu action on a view container to move it between the Primary Side Bar, Secondary Side Bar, or Panel area.

Ligatures are now supported in the terminal, regardless of whether GPU acceleration is being used. This feature can be turned on with the setting terminal.integrated.fontLigatures ⚙️

🔎 The Find control in the editor can now persist the search history across sessions and restores it across VS Code restarts.
