Don't get me wrong. Am sure that all these are functional. I have no experience with the editor and it works in ways that am not familiar with. I'll give VSCode a fair trial as soon as I free myself to do so. Then the ways plug-ins operate will surely make sense.

Version 1.6.0 has just been released. This release adds snippets for loops, function declarations and UDF sections. Please let me know your experiences good or bad if you use it , Thanks

I personally prefer vscode but can understand why many AutoIt developers would stick with SciTE. I think moving away from SciTE is a good thing, and no matter what replacement is chosen, i suggest making an LSP solution. this would allow vscode and many other editors to work with maybe only a editor specific extension as a wrapper for the main LSP code. The biggest issue with vscode is platform support and maybe performance. I was "forced" to upgrade my win7 machine to win10, to continue getting updates to my vscode editor... (win7 support was removed in vscode thanks to electron specific changes ) Removing the editor from AutoIt releases will also reduce the size of downloads a little, something i personally always appreciate I think most, if not all features found in SciTE when working with AutoIt SHOULD be possible to replicate in vscode. If vscode is chosen, i think my extension is the least likely candidate, since i feel some core principles of my extension may be in another direction than the regular AutoIt editor experience. But i am more than happy to have a chat about it (expectations, features, core principles and such) @argumentum I'm sorry to hear that, but i understand there my be multiple things you find off-putting, when doing the switch. If my extension is missing features, you are more than welcome to let me know (PM, Topic or GH issue), i do hope to make a good vscode experience for AutoIt developers

With a total of 30 min. of experience with VSCode... I feel like running back to SciTE Not sure how "prime time" are those extensions. Again, 30 min. of experience.

I'm using myself ControlSend alot - sometimes I use it to send passwords (and I do have uppercase letters and symbols in it) - setting the flag to 1 (send raw keys) works everytime.
