About deVStudio

This is really runs Visual Studio Code ( vscode ) on your device. It is full featured and professionally supported. This runs the Linux desktop edition of Visual Studio Code specifically.

Note: This is currently a very minimal install. So you have to add some packages and extensions based on your need.
For example if you wanted to do C++ development you would do the following:
1) in the termal: sudo apt install build-essential gdb
2) in vscode: install the C++ extension
3) have fun
Versions already setup for certain development flows will be added in the future.

* Tap with one figure to left click.
* Move mouse by sliding around one finger.
* Pinch to zoom.
* Press and hold and then slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in).
* Slide two fingers up and down to scroll.
* If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon.
* If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers.
* If you want to change the desktop scaling, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing this settings for it to take effect.
This is all easier to do on a tablet and with a stylus, but it can be done on a phone or using your finger as well.

Impressive, can actually install the necessary C# extensions... this makes the Samsung DEX a real programming environment, hope the dev packages a web browser like Chromium in it so we can easily login to Microsoft Azure and github.
