Fix VS Code Line Height


To control the line height in the editor in Visual Studio Code, you can adjust the editor.lineHeight setting. Here's how to do it:

Steps to Change Line Height

  1. Open Settings:

    • Press Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+, (macOS) to open the Settings UI.
  2. Search for Line Height:

    • In the search bar at the top, type line height.
  3. Adjust the Line Height:

    • Locate the Editor: Line Height setting.
    • Change the value:
      • 0: This will automatically compute the line height based on the font size.
      • Custom value: Set a specific value (e.g., 20, 25, etc.) to manually control the line height.
  4. Optional: Edit settings.json Directly:

    • Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS).
    • Type and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON).
    • Add or modify the following line:

      "editor.lineHeight": 25
      Replace 25 with your desired line height.

Notes

  • The default line height is typically proportional to the font size.
  • If you use an overly large value, it may reduce the number of lines visible in the editor.
