Microsoft isn’t fully launching the new editor today, though - instead, the new C# editor is launching as a preview and you will need to enable it manually from the IDE’s settings. Microsoft says the new C# editor allows for smoother editing and navigation, as well as powerful code-completion with IntelliSense, smarter suggestions, support for bi-directional text, multi-caret editing, word wrapping, and more.

Microsoft says the new editor has been built on the same shared core with Visual Studio on Windows, so the coding experience will be identical, but it will continue to have an interface that matches the native macOS design. It introduces a new start experience that helps you get started quicker, and work with your existing/new projects much faster than before.īut more importantly, Visual Studio 2019 for Mac brings a new C# editor that brings the best of Visual Studio to the Mac.
