Visual Studio Code Extension currently available and future plans for SciTE?

[WildByDesign]

Another interesting and legitimate future possibility here would be to distribute/fork VSCodium (truly open-source VSCode) and bundle the AutoIt-related extensions plus the bundling of AutoIt3Wrapper, SciTE4AutoIt3 full, etc.

FWIW, I have both of these extensions installed / enabled at the same time, and it's working ok for me.

Look at your current selected language mode:
If it says "AutoIt" then it's Damien.autoit, if it says "AutoIt3" then it's my extension running.

I just tested it myself, and it does not seem like any functionality overlap between the extensions, because of this.

How does that exactly work in VSCode as I assume(d) only one can be active

they can coexist without any problems

Multiple extensions can be active at the same time, even for the same language. It requires that the same activation requirements are met, like the language mode. It can however introduce unexpected issues. Some functionality might be merged (like suggestions), but others depend on the order, the extensions are loaded and register features/events with the extension. Mostly it's best to stick with one, when it comes to things like IntelliSense, to avoid inconsistent user experience.

Let's not make this topic more difficult than it is and stick for now to VSCode/SciTE. One can always decide to go down an alternative path later when VSCode is working.
