VSCODE - Disable highlighting and outlining in html tags and editor line

The boxes really annoyed me, but I do like the indication. I found an extension called Subtle Match Brackets. It works perfect for me. It changes to a subtle underline instead of the box. Here's a link:

Subtle Match Brackets


Try this one "editor.matchBrackets": false in your Preferences - User/Workspace setting

Newer Visual Studio Code:

It's in Settings under Editor: Match Brackets

U


The active line outline can be disabled like this:

"editor.renderLineHighlight": "none"

As for bracket highlighting, I couldn't find any setting for this either. It looks like there are at least three open issues related to this, so you might have to wait until those are resolved:

  • #18745
  • #16424
  • #3788

Personally, I find these indicators helpful. :)
