Tip: next time, try using 'IBM i: Connect to previous'

Connect to your system
Find the member browser and hover your mouse over it until you see the folder with the plus icon
Click the icon. A window will appear to add a path to a source physical file you'd like to browse (format: LIB/FILE)
After you've entered your chosen source file, hit enter.
Source file should appear in member browser.

You can click on a member to open and edit it. There is no member locking and the extension does not retain source dates.

Edit your library list in the 'Code for IBM i' Settings for your current connection (connections get their own settings now!)
Edit the Actions in JSON format in the 'Code for IBM i' Settings too. You can define what commands to use for the compilations.
Open the source you want to compile
Use Ctrl+E or Cmd+E to compile your source.
If you have more than one compile option available to you for the type of source, it will prompt you
If you are using *EVENTF, it should automatically load the error listing in the Problems tab.
