Elevate your coding experience with professional-grade sound effects. SoundCode transforms every keypress, tab switch, and terminal command into a tactile, auditory feedback loop that makes coding feel more responsive and engaging.
✨ Features
Mechanical Feedback: High-quality "Mechanical Default" theme for that perfect tactile feel.
Context-Aware Sounds: Unique soundscapes for typing, enter keys, spacebars, tab operations (open/close/switch), and more.
Integrated Sidebar Editor: No complex JSON editing! Customize your sounds directly from the VS Code sidebar.
Randomized Typing: Assign multiple sound files to "typing" for a natural, non-repetitive acoustic experience.
Intelligent Throttling: Sounds won't overload your ears during fast typing.
Workspace-Specific Themes: Create custom themes that travel with your project in the .vscode folder.
