We just released this in the [June 2016 release (v1.3.0)](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/June_2016#_editor). You can enable it by adding the following to your `settings.json` file (&lt;kbd&gt;F1&lt;/kbd&gt;, `Open Settings (JSON)`):

    &quot;editor.renderIndentGuides&quot;: true

For anything more customizable indent guides you will need an extension such as [Guides](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=spywhere.guides).

As of the [September 2021 (version 1.61)](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_61#_indentation-guides-settings) release, the correct setting is now: 

```json
&quot;editor.guides.indentation&quot;: true
```

The old setting from [the other answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35788977/2745495) has been deprecated:

&gt; ### Indentation guides settings
&gt; 
&gt; The `editor.renderIndentGuides` and `editor.highlightActiveIndentGuide`
&gt; settings have been deprecated in favor of `editor.guides.indentation`
&gt; and `editor.guides.highlightActiveIndentation`.

**Default indent line guide** 

 - **Method-1  (using settings.json)** 
   
   `&quot;editor.renderIndentGuides&quot;: false,` is now **deprecated** in vs
   code.
   
   Use  `&quot;editor.guides.indentation&quot;: true` instead.

  - **Method-2  (using settings UI)**
   
    Goto settings &gt; search `editor.guides.indentation`  &gt; Add &#39;tip&#39; mark
    for guides indentation.

I am currently trying to recursively delete a directory... Strangely enough the shortest piece of code I was able to find is the following construct, employing an *ad-hoc inner class* and in a *visitor pattern*...


	Path rootPath = Paths.get(&quot;data/to-delete&quot;);

	try {
	  Files.walkFileTree(rootPath, new SimpleFileVisitor&lt;Path&gt;() {
		@Override
		public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
		  System.out.println(&quot;delete file: &quot; + file.toString());
		  Files.delete(file);
		  return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
		}

		@Override
		public FileVisitResult postVisitDirectory(Path dir, IOException exc) throws IOException {
		  Files.delete(dir);
		  System.out.println(&quot;delete dir: &quot; + dir.toString());
		  return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
		}
	  });
	} catch(IOException e){
	  e.printStackTrace();
	}

This feels horribly clumsy and verbose, given that the new `nio` APIs remove so much clutter and boilerplate...

**Is there any shorter way of achieving a forced, recursive directory delete?**

I&#39;m looking for pure native Java 1.8 methods, so please don&#39;t link to external libraries...

I am confused about the difference between EventBus and RxJava in android. I need to implement one of them for my issue about notifying some components when some changes have been done, so that they can update their state.  
Also, I read that EventsBus has became deprecated over RxJava and I don&#39;t know if this information is true or not.

What is the difference between EventBus and RxJava?

I am trying to use git to push my repository to a visual studio team services project, but I get the error:

    fatal: Authentication failed for (url of team project)

I am using the commands:

    git remote add origin
         https://XXXXXXX.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/project

    git push -u origin -–all


Any idea of the fix for this?

Right now, it is a faint gray overlay, which is hard to see. Any way to change the default color?

I have ESlint configured with vscode using the plugin, now I&#39;m wondering is there some way I can stop ESlint from showing me the parser/syntax errors, so I can instead view the syntax errors that the Salsa language service provides by default.

When building typescript in VSCode, I get the following error:

&gt; error TS6082: Only &#39;amd&#39; and &#39;system&#39; modules are supported alongside
&gt; --out.

My settings are as follows:

**tsconfig.json**

    {
    	&quot;compilerOptions&quot;: {
    		&quot;target&quot;: &quot;ES5&quot;,
    		&quot;module&quot;: &quot;commonjs&quot;,
            &quot;out&quot;: &quot;current/game.js&quot;,
            &quot;removeComments&quot;: true,
    		&quot;sourceMap&quot;: false
    	}
    }

**.vscode/tasks.json:**

    {
    	&quot;version&quot;: &quot;0.1.0&quot;,
    
    	// The command is tsc. Assumes that tsc has been installed using npm install -g typescript
    	&quot;command&quot;: &quot;tsc&quot;,
    
    	// The command is a shell script
    	&quot;isShellCommand&quot;: true,
    
    	// Show the output window only if unrecognized errors occur.
    	&quot;showOutput&quot;: &quot;silent&quot;,
    
    	// args is the HelloWorld program to compile.
    	&quot;args&quot;: [],
    
    	// use the standard tsc problem matcher to find compile problems
    	// in the output.
    	&quot;problemMatcher&quot;: &quot;$tsc&quot;
    }

Despite the error, the game.js file does get created and runs properly.

Anyone have any thoughts about what might cause this error?

It&#39;s a simple thing and I was pretty sure it&#39;s well described, but surprisingly it is not so obvious.



[Here][1] I&#39;ve found a detailed description of settings file. As it states it should be `setting.json` file located `%APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json`, but in my case it&#39;s not there.

Can someone give me some help with restoring default settings in Visual Studio Code? I&#39;ve hidden menu bar by accident and I can&#39;t find no way to show it back.

How to reset settings in Visual Studio Code?

Usually when I use VS Code, very first thing I do on new document is command: &quot;Toggle Word Wrap&quot; or &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Z&lt;/kbd&gt;. I tried looking into User Settings, but I didn&#39;t find any relevant entries. Is there some way to have text wrapping &#39;on&#39; for every document by default?

The current function of giving me a dropdown option of which tab to choose is just so annoying. Is there a possibility to remove it so the tabs would work like in some modern web browser.

I would like to automatically format TypeScript code using the build-in formatter when I save a file in Visual Studio Code. 

I&#39;m aware of the following options, but none of them is good enough: 

 - Format manually `Shift + Alt + F`
 - Format on type `&quot;editor.formatOnType&quot;: true`
  - It formats the line when you press enter. Unfortunatelly, it leaves it unformatted when you mouse-click another line or press up/down arrow. 
 - Use existing extension
  - I tried this [one](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gyuha.format-on-save), but it does not seem to work too well. 
 - Use beautify `&quot;beautify.onSave&quot;: true`
  - It does not work with TypeScript
 - Write custom extension
  - It&#39;s tricky if you want to handle autosaves and builds correctly.

I would much rather double-click to open file, and prevent single-click previews. How do we do that in vs code?
