VS Code: change letter spacing (kerning)
As of VS Code 1.13, there is an "editor.letterSpacing"
setting.
For example, I'm using the following code in my settings to tighten up the letter spacing ever so slightly:
{
"editor.letterSpacing": -0.15
}
I actually just went the opposite way after installing the wonderful Victor Mono font which I found to be too narrow and wanted to expand the kerning.
I was able to set this by simply searching in the User Settings (CTRL+SHIFT+P) for spacing
and there are two separate boxes that were set to 0
for terminal and editor. You can change the value and see it update live, which is really cool.
This is as of my current version of VS Code 1.39.2
on Mac OS Mojave.
I set my terminal to 1
and the editor to 0.7
and it looks amazing now and all is right with the world.
