vscode-live-server VS Vim

I think your using the VSCode Live Server plugin. I would not use the Live Server plugin to run your app. The plugin does some magic to inject additional HTML into displayed page. Having SVG icons breaks it (not sure if you are using svg icons). I would run a basic app through a Python server by creating pyServer.py file:

Now open the html file using an HTTP server of your choice. I'm using the Live Server VS Code extension. You will see something like this.

More than likely.

This seems like a common issue with the vs code live server extension. You may want to switch to using npm live-server or try setting a proxy: https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-live-server/blob/master/docs/settings.md

I was using the VS code live server extension from here https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-live-server which exposes port 5500 on my localhost by default.

You need to use a server that establishes a root directory to /build (not fall back to the root of C:). I tried to get LiveServer (VS Code Extension) to function but it too needs the server root set to /build. Just found this which should solve that problem.

After downloading it, I will also recommend downloading an extension called Live Server in VsCode and it will help you to create a local server and view the changes made to the website without refreshing it each time & is super useful, Trust me!

To set the hostname to the desired IP address, use liveServer.settings.host (the default is 127.0.0.1).

I find the Vim extension for VS Code has macro support that is good enough for most of my use cases (if you’re a fan of Vim key bindings - obviously).

that's why I just use https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim if I have to use VSCode

They have discussions enabled on the GitHub repository; eventually r/vscode might be of help.

What you would learn from using a neovim addon for VS Code covers most of the first point and some of the second - VSCode Vim lets you run neovim in a headless mode that relays keypresses to it, and emulates several popular addons. It also comes without quite as much hassle as comes from the second step of learning to configure vim/neovim yourself. Most VSCode extensions work pretty well out of the box, maybe requiring you to add the path to a compiler/interpreter that is not on your PATH.

The extension does have visualedit. You can check the list of supported features here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/HEAD/ROADMAP.md

I though VSCode's vim emulation had issues with code folding

Either I go with K552 or save for RK84 if not CB-GK-16 and both of these are pretty good choice that's certain, or I go with 617 Fizz and use VIM keybinding which Isn't an issue for me cause I've been using NeoVim for more than 1 year, you can grab my dotfiles if you want. Most people won't go with 60% cause they are used to arrow, home, end ... keys so am I with vs code but today I found out about vscodevim extension which enables vim keybinding , these keybindings pretty easy to use more than arrow, home, end .. keys if yo're a vim user like Shift + $ = end, Shift + 0 = home, in visual mode V to select text etc ...
