There are several things to notice in this screen because it is very carefully designed to be informative and make best use of screen space.
The icons on the left are worth considering.
Here's the [https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface official docs...]
=====Explorer=====
Microsoft attempting to purloin a name. It's files and Directories and when configured as we intend to do here it's the files on the remote Pi4. What you edit here will change on the Pi we are examining.
=====Search=====
It's very useful to be able to perform a word search right across the entire chunk of code you are working on. This where you do that.
=====Source Control=====
It would be temping to keep all your code efforts safely backed up somewhere and if it ould give you a history of what you have done in the past that would be really useful. Welcome to GIT. It does that for you. You store the code on Github.com and VSC handles the transfer of code to and from this repository for you. It also allows you to upload your code for a Pull Request ( the ultimate accolade!) consideration for entering in to the zynthian code base, cos you are working on a your personal fork on github of the zynthian code aren't you?
=====Run & Debug=====
This is where we start the code examination and debugging sessions.
We don't start the zynthian up with the debugger running as you might suspect, it's a little bit more contrived than that. But we will explain the current (09/04/2024) dance below...
=====Extensions====
Chunks of code written by many contributors including Microsoft themselves that allow extra functionality to be loaded into VSC. The debugger itself is one such component as is the Remote Access mechanism and an extension to Work intelligently with Python code.
=====Remote Explorer=====
access to the Remote Machine
=====Tesing=====
Testing Module. I've not had a lot of success with this.
=====Accounts=====
Microsofts domain control
=====Manage=====
Admin Tasks
