The Mintlify MDX VSCode extension allows developers to easily incorporate components from a comprehensive library into their documentation within Visual Studio Code (VSCode), providing a more efficient workflow for editing and maintaining documentation. With the introduction of this extension, users can quickly add supported components such as `Card`, `Steps`, and `Tabs` by typing `<` followed by a few characters, with Intellisense guiding them to the full component name. The extension also supports surround snippets for components that require content encapsulation, making it easier to incorporate these elements into documentation. Furthermore, users can set a keyboard shortcut to quickly trigger the extension modal and access more features in the upcoming weeks.
