Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. I
0:02
will show you in this tutorial how to
0:04
toggle the zen mode inside VS code. Zen
0:07
mode is little bit different from from
0:09
full screen. So first of all to enable
0:12
zen mode you need to go to the view
0:15
section and go to appearance and then
0:17
you will see this option of zen mode
0:22
and simply click this option to enter
0:24
into zen mode. So now inside zen mode
0:26
you don't see any kind of sidebar. you
0:29
don't see any kind of title or any sort
0:32
of this this is similar to full screen
0:35
but I prefer full screen over the zen
0:37
mode so I don't like the zen mode at all
0:40
so now to disable this you can again
0:44
type the shortcut key control shiftp and
0:47
then it will be there inside your
0:50
command pallet and just write here
0:53
search for this
0:55
zen mode
0:58
and then click it. And now you the zen
1:01
mode will be disabled. So I prefer this
1:04
shortcut key even more which is control
1:06
shiftp and just typing here zen mode
1:10
rather than clicking on the menu item.
1:13
It's very fast as well.
1:16
So you can toggle between enabling and
1:18
disabling your zen mode very easily.
1:23
So it is created because don't want
1:27
distraction while writing your code. So
1:29
I personally don't like this mode. So
1:35
quite a number of options. You also have
1:37
this shortcut key. Ctrl KZ.
1:41
This is the shortcut key.
1:46
So please hit that like button guys.
