Hiding the Command Center
00:00 In the former lesson, you remove the breadcrumbs, which made VS Code look way less cluttered, which is nice. But there are still a few user interface elements that you can get rid of.

Generally, it’s a good idea to learn the keyboard shortcuts and not click in this command center and use the mouse to go there.

file and adding window.commandCenter
00:50 that’s lowercase command, and then uppercase C and center with the value false. And once you save, the command center at the top disappears.
