Welcome to the August 2024 release of Visual Studio Code. There are many updates in this version that we hope you'll like, some of the key highlights include:

If you'd like to read these release notes online, go to Updates on code.visualstudio.com. 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.

A new command, list.resizeColumn, enables you to resize columns by using the keyboard. When you trigger this command, select the column you want to resize and provide a percentage of the width you want to set. The following video shows how to apply this to resize a column in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor.

We've updated the accessibility.voice.autoSynthesize setting to enable screen reader users to opt in to hearing chat responses announced by our synthesizer, instead of getting aria alerts.

When you're debugging with the focus in an editor, invoking the Debug: Add to Watch command now announces the variable's value for screen reader users.
