{{vscode|4}} (also known shorthand as {{vscode|3.1|nt=0}}) is a rich text editor developed and maintained by Microsoft. Its extension marketplace contains many community-driven extensions catering to scripting formats used in Source, making it a frequently recommended tool among modders who work with scripts. Visual Studio Code should not be confused with Visual Studio, which is a more complicated and heavy-handed application used for Source's C++ source code.

Visual Studio Code is particularly useful for [[VScript]] due to its versatility with high-level programming languages. For more information on how to set up Visual Studio Code with VScript, see [[Visual Studio Code/Setting up Visual Studio Code for VScript|Setting up Visual Studio Code for VScript]].
