Hello C++ World!<\/p>\n

Our C++ Quick Fixes extension<\/a> has gotten some pretty good initial feedback since we released it a few months ago. I wanted take some time to make sure that you are<\/p>\n

1. aware of its benefits\n2. giving us feedback on current features, and\n3. giving us feedback on what other \u201cQuick Fixes\u201d you\u2019d like to see!<\/p>\n

The theme of the Quick Fixes extension is to provide additional features that help you address errors<\/b>\/squiggles in your code.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using the Extension<\/h3>\n

To access the feature, hover over a red squiggle and look for a lightbulb, or use the default keyboard shortcut Ctrl<\/b>+<\/b>Dot <\/b>(Ctrl<\/b>+<\/b>.)<\/b>. Note that for the keyboard shortcut, your caret doesn’t need to be positioned on the specific error\/token; you can simply be on the same line as the error to invoke suggestions for anything (and everything) on that line.<\/p>\n

You can find the full list of features on the extension page<\/a>,\u00a0and download a sample file to try all out current Quick Fixes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a highlight of some key features:<\/p>\n
