VS Code Preference in Linux

VS Code Preference in Linux

  • Extensions activated:
    ‘fortran’, ‘FORTRAN IntelliSense‘, and ‘Modern Fortran’ 

  • Font family:
    consolas, ‘Ubuntu Mono’, ‘Source Code Pro’, monaco, menlo, monospace
    My selection depends to whether specific characters especially in view of 0o and 1lI can be distinctly distinguishable eliminating confusion.

  • Tab size: 3
    Default is 4. Usually even numbers are selected.

  • Scrollback: 10000
    Control the maximum amount of lines the terminal keeps in its buffer.

  • Render whitespace: boundary
    Render whitespace characters except for single spaces between words.

  • Copy and paste of box selection
    Hold the [Shift] + [Alt] keys whilst dragging the mouse.

  • My private issue
    Backslash(\) is incorrectly shown as Yen mark(¥) of the same character code in VS code. Although being unsure of its cause, I am contemplating of converting Ubuntu into Japanese after Ubuntu is installed in English. This is a serious issue for me as to where the GFortran compiler addresses errors on this particular while Intel fort can compile without issuing any errors. Please note concurrently that both compilers can properly execute without any problem in Terminal.
    The solution is very simple where Ubuntu needs to be back to in English language mode.
Backslash(\) is incorrectly shown as Yen mark(¥).
Change to Ubuntu in English language mode from Japanese. But Formats in Japanese as it is.
Solved, Backslash is correctly shown as ‘\’
