As I don't use MS, my alternative is geany
There is a themes extension and I made it almost look like VSC.
In the Arduino IDE I use option "external editor". Then open the code with Arduino IDE and minimize. Then use editor of your choice, in my case geany, edit and save and press compile in the Arduino IDE.
I know it's not that comfortable but better then using the not sharp and unclear fonts of the IDE. The rest in the 1.8.xx is straight forward and I use it for large ATMega projects like Marlin or even with 2350
