Can I code and test a structured text program in VScode? - visual-studio-code

I am new to programming and want to start with structured text. I searched the internet to see if it is supported by VScode.
I installed VScode because of its popularity

Set Intellisense Hints to English in VSCode?

I've downloaded VSCode in German and I've set the display language to English as described here. However, the hints for Intellisense are still in German, which is not great for debugging and understanding suggestions/mistakes, since the breadth of information online on programming related issues is in English. I found this SO question that discusses how to do it in VS, but that is over 10 years old and I don't even have the "Tools" tab in VSCode.
How to set UI language in English and IntelliSense hint Language in another language in Visual Studio 2012 ?
I also tried to search for a setting by pressing "Ctrl+," using different keywords, but all I got was highlighting toggles for Intellisense that control highlighting for different code fragments. Using "Ctrl+Shift+P" and searching for "Intellisense" etc. didn't help either.
I really do not want to deinstall VSCode and reinstall it using an English installer just so I can fix this problem, especially since I'm only using VSCode to program C++ for Unreal Engine to begin with and whenever you change something slightly Unreal likes to break things in a fit of capriciousness.
Is there a straightforward way to fix this? Here's an image of what the Intellisense hints look like. I'd love it if they were in English.
To change the language of the Itellisense you should go to the Visual Studio Installer, modify the current installation, then go to "Language Packs" section of the installer and select English. After installing the language pack go inside the IDE: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> International Settings , select English and save changes.
For further details take a look at this link
Ok, so I wasn't able to set any options for this and the only thing that worked was going to a download page of an English installer and running that. I essentially updated my 1.7.3 version of VSCode to a 1.7.4 version using an English installer instead of a German one and that fixed the issue...
Is this stupid or am I stupid?

Does VSCode discourage editing installed plugins?

I'm trying to contribute to a open-source VSCode plugin for the plush language. I think I've found the error and I'm trying to test it out on my machine but when I open %AppData%\Roaming\Code\CachedExtensionVSIXs\cjamesmay.plush-0.0.1 I come across a badly encoded file. I've tried searching online for what VSCode/microsoft has to say on the matter and found nothing.
This is what the file text looks like.

Is it possible to write notepad++ plugin for tooltip on mouseover of text?

I have a text file with a list of registers, and I want to write a notepad++ plugin where the user can mouseover one of these registers (text), and a tooltip window pops up which contains information about the register.
I know that notepad++ supports c# and python plugins, and I understand that this type of functionality may be possible in javascript, but I am unsure if notepad++ plugins can be written in javascript, or if this functionality is even possible with a notepad++ plugin.
Sorry that I do not have any code to show, I am very new to writing notepad++ plugins, and so before embarking on this adventure I wanted to verify that this endeavor was even possible. Thank you!

Exporting in Sublime Text Processing Bundle and replicating its features in Eclipse

A video and relevant links can be found at http://vimeo.com/45573600 :
1) It is possible to obtain exactly the same behavior, and especially the library-specific autocomplete in Eclipse? I tried proclipsing and all the instructions for working with processing on Eclipse found on the Processing forum but none of them let's you have that, even if Aptana Studio 3, which is based on Eclipse, does the same for HTML & CSS.
2) After I installed the bundle in Sublime Text 2, I noticed that, even if I can find in the documentation that "With cmd+shift+b and typing build you get alternative buildsystems: Run sketch fullscreen and various Export sketch options" this doesn't work at all for me. Maybe is just because I am on a PC and I had to try CTRL+shift+b, but anyway there is no trace of it even in the menus. Any hint?

Is there a way to access Stata from eclipse?

… similar to the StatET plugin that allows you to run R code from Eclipse?
I tried googling it but nothing useful has turned up.
None that I know. If you're a CLI junky or willing to use Emacs, you might find limited support through the ESS package and the ado-mode. This is what I used on Mac OS X when I want to run short snippet of code, or use Stata in batch mode, but there's no interactive graphical output (you can just save graphics as PDF as usual). The ado-mode provides basic syntax highlighting and can send region or buffer to a running instance of Stata GUI program (not the executable file, stata-*, that is being used by ESS).
Here are two screenshots of (top) edition of code in Emacs with the ado-mode, and (bottom) an interactive Stata session (no plot produced).
Some notes on text editors for Stata users provides a list of text editors that can be used with Stata (without interactive facilities, though).
There seems to be a promising project starting up here:
