advanced Anyone tried modding on Visual Studio Code?

[NovaViper]

Hey guys! I just recently reset my entire computer and started to reinstall certain programs. This time, I plan on trying to slimline my IDEs (I had about 5 in total: Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio Community, IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Android Studio).The one I plan to converging everything under is Visual Studio Code, as I can add in different plugins to work with it, especially since I'm starting to use that IDE for developing my Powershell program to run my server. Just curious if I can squash down my several IDEs (with the exception of Android Studio) into one.

Does IntelliJ Community Edition even support Powershell? I haven't found anything that says it works with Powershell, just Java for the most part. The paid edition work with other languages but yet I still haven't seen where it works with Powershell

Yes, you need IDEA Ultimate if you really want to get it's full potential. Once you have IDEA Ultimate you do not necessarily need all the other products (like PHPStorm), you can come quite close by just installing the plugins (the other IDEs are based on IntelliJ).

There is no official Powershell plugin, however there is this: https://gist.github.com/ThomasR/74b134ec2f858108016d

I'm trying to go with an IDE that's free (but has more functionality than Eclipse). While I have used IntelliJ before but its really hard to add in another language other than java into it. I had a better time with that in VS

Ok, I haven't used VSC myself yet, but I have seen people use it for Java. It's painful to watch. If you want to have a good time coding in Java, go with IntelliJ, community edition is fine.

Then if you like VSC better as a text editor, use it. There is nothing wrong with using the right tool for the job, you wouldn't drive in a screw with a hammer, just to save on having a screwdriver in the house, would you?

True.. Its just hard for to remember the million something shortcuts for each IDE (a disaster for sure since I hardly know main ones, like IntelliJ has undo that's not Ctrl+Z)

First of all, if undo is not Ctrl-Z in your IntelliJ there is something wrong with it, it works fine in mine.

Plus, you can configure literally every action in IntelliJ to have whatever keyboard shortcut you like.

I noticed that.. for the strangest reason, IntelliJ has Ctrl+Z defaultly set to "Delete Line", which ends up deleting all of my lines of code. I have to change it to the eclipse controls in order to get rid of that

delete line should be Ctrl-y

I totally understand the ctrl-z / ctrl-shift-z paradigm, but I hate it due to muscle memory for literally everything else I use having defaults of ctrl-z / ctrl-y

Ikr? I remember the very first time I used IntelliJ and nearly wanting to smash my keyboard (not literally but I did think about it)

IntelliJ isn't the only program that does it, I've run into a few others.

But every time it's "undo, undo, undo...ok redo...fuck, why did that just delete a line? Oh, stupid keybinds. FINE, I GUESS I'LL RETYPE IT."

I don't mind ctrl-shift-z being redo and not ctrl-y, it's the binding something destructive to ctrl-y that irks me. Yeah, just completely fuck with someone who's never used your software before so they can't fix the mistake because they didn't know what your keybinds were, that's just brilliant.

It surely not user-friendly, especially for someone new to it

No no no, not-user-friendly is Blender.

It took me 2 hours to move a camera and change the animation speed on an already complete scene. I lost track of the number of times I had to quit and start over.

I'm still considering having VS as my main editor. I just wonder if Forge works with it ._.

[NovaViper]

Huh, I found another IDE called Eclipse Che, a cloud/portable version of Eclipse. Anyone think this could be the golden coin I'm looking for?

Forge does not care what editor you use.

It doesn't? I thought there was a specific setup Forge goes through after you run the initial commands: setupDecompWorkspace and setpDevWorkspace. Like, you run the commands run genIntellijRuns or gradlew eclipse.

[Draco18s]

Those commands are for creating a default workspace for that editor.

You can do those bits manually from within Eclipse or IntelliJ. They're convenience functions.
