Visual Studio Code is a very powerful free and open source text editor, but before start usage it you need to but to use all its features, you need to configure it.

Visual Studio Code
First of all disable telemetry collection in File > Preferences > Settings menu:

Override “Alt” button to toggle menu bar:
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom", "window.customMenuBarAltFocus": false

Disable file previewing when clicked on at all is by setting:
"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false

Functionality of Visual Studio Code can be extended with plugins and extensions.
To disable Unicode strings highlight use command:
editor.unicodeHighlight.ambiguousCharacters = false
To change tabulation for existing document use command:
indent using tabs
I prefer to install such basic plugins: Project Manager, Ftp-sync, Show Functions, Beautify, and Material Icon Theme, Atom Material Theme:

This is my basic configuration of Visual Studio Code, you can also change other options and config this amazing text editor as you want.
