All issues will be entered into the errata once closed. They will also be fixed in the next book edition.

Problem to fix: No Definition Found in VSCode and C#12
Suggested solution:
Other useful information e.g. OS, coding tools, and so on:
Entering "omni" in the command palette says "no matching command" because OmniSharp has been disabled by C#12 in the latest update to VSCode. If OmniSharp is reinstalled, The C# Dev Kit must be disabled or OmniSharp will be ignored. If you disabled the C# Dev Kit "Go to Definition" is removed from the drop down if you right click the "int" keyword. None of the internet suggestions worked for me. What is your workaround in C#12 in VSCode? VS 2022 works fine.

This issue with OmniSharp being missing appears in multiple errata entries:

https://github.com/markjprice/cs11dotnet7/blob/main/docs/errata/errata.md#page-8---installing-other-extensions

https://github.com/markjprice/cs11dotnet7/blob/main/docs/errata/errata.md#page-28---writing-code-using-visual-studio-code

https://github.com/markjprice/cs11dotnet7/blob/main/docs/errata/errata.md#page-31---adding-a-second-project-using-visual-studio-code

I recommend using the latest C# Dev Kit without OmniSharp. Go To Definition works fine with it.
