Two times before and thelast time Visual Studio for Mac was installed, and it is now possible to perform cross-platform development using .NET Core + Xamarin on Mac.
Next, install VS Code (Visual Studio Code).VSCode is Microsoft’s open source development environment, which is lighter than Visual Studio for Mac.
Cross-platform development requires an environment other than the main OS such as Windows or Linux on the virtual environment.At such times, you can automate the construction of the virtual machine with a script, and when you connect to the virtual machine with SSH, you can handle it only with VS Code.
By adding extensions from the marketplace, VSCode can create scripts, front-end development, SSH connection to remote servers, create materials while checking the preview with Markdown, etc. You can use it.
Please refer to the URL below for building a cloud environment or virtual machine using scripts.

Touch Bar settings
Last time, I set Visual Studio for Mac to initially display the function keys on the Touch Bar, but it is more convenient to use the function keys for searching and debugging in VS Code as well, so the initial display of the Touch Bar will be the function keys.
Set Touch Bar as a function key
From the menu bar, click [Apple]-[System Preferences…].
[Keyboard]Click.
Click “Shortcuts”.
Click “+” and select “Visual Studio Code.app”.
“Visual Studio Code.app” has been added so that when the VS Code window is selected, the function keys are initially displayed on the Touch Bar.
