Welcome to the August 2023 release of Visual Studio Code. There are many updates in this version that we hope you'll like, some of the key highlights include:

Insiders: Want to try new features as soon as possible? You can download the nightly Insiders build and try the latest updates as soon as they are available.

The window.title setting now has a ${focusedView} variable that displays the name of the view in the title bar, if a view is currently focused.

Inline completions, like those coming from the GitHub Copilot extension, for example, can now be inspected in the Accessible View.

Last iteration, we made the experience when navigating between an input control (for example, search or filter input) and its results consistent across components like the Extensions view, the Keyboard Shortcuts editor, and more using ⌘↓ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Down ) and ⌘↑ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Up ) . This has been extended to the Settings editor and GitHub Pull Request comment control.

Previously, the terminal accessible buffer was opened via Shift+Tab . This conflicted with an existing keyboard shortcut in some shells. As such, we've removed that keybinding in favor of ⌘↓ (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Down ) and ⌥F2 (Windows Ctrl+Up , Linux Alt+F2 ) , to align with the other Accessible Views.
