Intermediate content for Getting Started #120602

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added a few optional wording suggestions, but looks good!
Hot take: can we add "LiveShare" as an entry in this intermediate list? I know it's not really a productivity tip, but I really think a) it's one of the more life-changing, sticky features/extensions of VS Code that users should know exists especially now in remote times and b) it could be a "first-class" extension in the editor, because its language agnostic.
I might suggest swapping it with tasks or hotkeys, because I think more people will actually be able to use it. (So not sure if it belongs in the intermediate section... or in the fundamentals perhaps?)
Title: "Collaborate and code remotely"
Description: Edit and debug your code in real-time. Invite your friends and colleagues to join your coding session.
Button: Open extension view with id:@"ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack"

I like framing this as practicing without creating a project, but I also think of the tips in interactive playground as life hacks. Perhaps: "Want to code faster and smarter? Practice these must-know editing hacks in the playground."

Life hacks makes some sense, but hacks doesn't seem the right for multi-cursor. Lets try this out as less formal version during the content experiment!

To stay consistent with button labels starting with a verb, should this be "Open Interactive Playground" or "Open Playground"?

I was concerned about space, as we have a few buttons that have line-breaks. This one seems fine though.

"right inside your editor" seems awkward, since they are already inside the editor. Maybe, "set up your project to use Git and GitHub with a click of a button?" to show how easy it is from VS Code?

Suggestion:
"Once you have discovered your favorite commands, create custom keyboard shortcuts for instant access."
This PR fixes #118281.
Git has 3 different tasks that trigger based on a) no folder open (clone), b) folder without git open (init repo) and c) open scm view (folder with git open).
Screen recording of the flow and in which contexts tasks appear:
