Can multiple CMake extensions be installed for Visual Studio Code?

Question from someone new to CMake. The VS Code marketplace has two frequently installed CMake extensions:

CMake by twxs (with > 350k installs)
CMake Tools by vector-of-bool (with > 365k installs)

Both are highly rated. Can you install both side-by-side or should you install one only?

If relevant, these extensions are already installed:

C++ (ms-vscode.cpptools)
C++ Intellisense (austin.code-gnu-global)

You can install both of these extensions.

"CMake" by twxs installs CMake syntax support for editing CMakeLists.txt files.

"CMake Tools" by vector-of-bool installs a side bar that allows you to configure, build, and install the currently open CMake project.

I would recommend that you install both of these tools.

You can install both of them side-by-side. Each one will be tied to its own extension within the VSC command palette so there shouldn't be any overriding problems.
