Hiding the Breadcrumb Menu

00:00 Next, I want to set a setting that I should have set from the get-go and that’s disabling the breadcrumbs that you can see at the top of the file. So by default, VS Code shows the whole file path of the current file you are working on.

00:16 And while this might give you handy information where you are in your project right now, it’s a little bit of an issue if you are sharing your screen in a Zoom call or if you’re recording a video course like I do right now.

00:28 So you’re basically exposing to your audience where you save the file you’re currently working on. And that’s not such a good idea. I trust you so that’s not a big problem right now, but let’s change that.

00:41 Go to your settings.json file and add a new line and write "breadcrumbs.enabled"

00:50 and then the value should be false.

00:55 Once you save the settings.json file, you can see the breadcrumbs menu at the top disappear, and this gives you a much more clean coding experience as well.

01:05 And you don’t expose the path to your current working file to your audience.
