Waiting for more features

[hickford]

Any time to look at bug fix #216085 please?

[fisforfaheem]

Kindly Add proper changelogs, with each release inside the vscode as well, also for isniders as well

[niceEli]

would be good if #519 was 🏃 rn

[Landscaping69]

microsoft/vscode-jupyter#14422

[niceEli]

ah so you didnt finish #519 instead adding copilot builtin to the editor, i am a copilot subscriber through my educational institution and that means your getting money because of me, this is unacceptable to make people who are disabled not be able to use your code editor, not everyone can read the fancy dynamic spaced calibri fonts, some need monospace. cmon its been 9 years and you still dont have this basic accessibility feature. isnt your code of conduct supposed to be supportive and try to help disability.
