Eclipse Visual Studio Code
To make it easy for teams to use existing projects with the new IDE, WPILib includes a wizard for importing Eclipse projects into VS Code. This will generate the necessary Gradle components and load the project into VS Code. The importer automatically imports the old command framework 3rd party library.
Launching the Import Wizard¶
Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type “WPILib” or click the WPILib icon to locate the WPILib commands. Begin typing “Import a WPILib Eclipse project” and select it from the dropdown.
You’ll be presented with the WPILib Eclipse Project Upgrade window. This is similar to the process of creating a new project and the window and the steps are shown below. This window contains the following elements:
Eclipse Visual Studio Code Theme
Intellij Vs Visual Studio Code
Eclipse Project Selection: Selects the Eclipse project to be imported. Users should select the build.properties file in the root directory of the eclipse project.
Project Location: This determines the folder in which the robot project will be located.
Create New Folder: If this is checked, a new folder will be created to hold the project within the previously-specified folder. If it is not checked, the project will be located directly in the previously-specified folder. An error will be thrown if the folder is not empty and this is not checked.
Project Name: The name of the robot project. This also specifies the name that the project folder will be given if the Create New Folder box is checked.
Team Number: The team number for the project, which will be used for package names within the project and to locate the robot when deploying code.
Eclipse Keymap; Visual Studio Keymap; Customize your keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard Shortcut: ⌘K ⌘S (Windows, Linux Ctrl+K Ctrl+S) You can search for shortcuts and add your own keybindings to the keybindings.json file. See more in Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code. Tune your settings. VS Code is designed as an extensible code editor, its extension mechanism allowing you to add missing features and integrations. Make use of this flexible architecture by adapting VS Code to your context-, project- or domain-specific needs. Improve the efficiency of your developers or provide your custom VS Code extension to millions of VS Code users! This extension ports popular Eclipse keyboard shortcuts to Visual Studio Code. Eclipse key bindings are provided for Windows, Linux and macOS. What key bindings are included? The key bindings consist of general shortcuts like Ctrl-Shift-R, Ctrl-3, text editor keybindings like Ctrl-Shift-F, Ctrl-L and debugging key bindings like F8, Ctrl-Shift-B. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows. Download Visual Studio Code to experience a redefined code editor, optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. In Visual Studio and most other half decent IDEs you can simply do SHIFT+TAB. It does the opposite of just TAB. Is there a way to collapse all code blocks in Eclipse?

Click “Upgrade Project” to begin the upgrade.
The eclipse project will be upgraded and copied into the new project directory. You can then either open the new project immediately (the pop-up shown below should appear in the bottom right) or open it later using the Ctrl+O (or Command-O for macOS) shortcut.
C++ Configurations (C++ Only)¶
For C++ projects, there is one more step to set up IntelliSense. Whenever you open a project, you should get a pop-up in the bottom right corner asking to refresh C++ configurations. Click “Yes” to set up IntelliSense.
