One of the great things about modern devenvs is that they automatically create matched pairs of tokens. Make sure you get version 2, it has speed improvements and some settings were cleaned up which broke backwards compatibility. It’s a minor thing once I figured out what was happening.

The only thing to watch out for is if you turn on Show Brackets In Gutter then the gutter icon can prevent you from setting a breakpoint until you move your cursor. This adds a visual element to identifying matching brackets, and you can define which tokens to match and what colors to use. I use the following extensions to help track or showcase my code. Leave a comment to share the devenv and extensions you use. In this article, I describe my favorite 15 extensions for working with Unity, C#, git, and markdown files.

Now no development environment (devenv) is perfect and that’s why extensions were created. Now, I use it for more than just coding, it’s also a notebook with a series of markdown files organized into various categories. About a year ago a friend of mine introduced me to VS Code, and once I learned it supported Unity I never looked back.
