You can now report a problem or suggest a feature right from inside Visual Studio 2022.
As developers, we should take the time to report issues we encounter. It can be anything from crashes to slow performance or something else unexpected.
Personalizing Visual Studio
Visual Studio is one of the most popular IDEs available and does a fantastic job at increasing your productivity. It also allows developers to personalize their experience based on their individual workflow needs. The Visual Studio team is also planning to add additional features in the future that will accommodate developers who are neurodiverse or who might have learning challenges. Let’s look at some of these improvements that help you personalize Visual Studio.
Adjust Line Spacing
In Visual Studio 2022, developers can specify the line spacing for the text editor. To increase the line spacing, on the Tools menu, click Options and select Text Editor General and look under the Display group as seen in Figure 2-80.
