Vetch is an extension for Visual Studio Code that allows you to easily open, view, and edit .svg files without interrupting your workflow.

Features

  • Fully Visual SVG Editing: No need to manually edit tags; just draw, drag, and drop like a normal human being.
  • Familiar Interface: Utilizes the intuitive and simple Scratch 3.0 vector paint editor as a base with more powerful features listed below.
  • Infinite Canvas: Easily adjust, scale, skew, rotate, and move elements around without boundaries.
  • Canvas Panning: Use SHIFT+DRAG to pan around the canvas.
  • Skewing: Hold CTRL while dragging one of the four midpoints of a selection box to skew shapes.
  • Opacity and HEX Sliders: Adjust the opacity and HEX values of selected shapes using the color picker.
  • Dark/Light Canvas Toggle: Toggle between a light and dark canvas to make editing easier depending on your color schemes.
  • Snapping: Switch between freehand mode and snapping mode to easily align shapes.

Usage

  1. Open an SVG file.
  2. Enjoy the feeling of superiority of the fact you have a graphic editor inside your code editor.

Tip 1: You may need to set the default editor for SVG files to Vetch. To do this, right-click the file in the Explorer, select "Open With...", and choose "Vetch".
Tip 2: If you ever need to view the raw SVG code, right-click the file in the Explorer, select "Open With...", and choose the default "Text Editor".
