I need to add some platform specific code and I would like to have a possibility to show quick kotlin documentation when press ctr+q. How can I achieve that, other than opening a kotlin file through file -> open?
I have found an answer by accident - in settings -> languages & frameworks there's an experimental feature, which helps to show quick documentation.

I would like to know if Visual Studio Code provides an API that help you develop a desktop application on top of it platform. The main idea is to do like in Eclipe RCP or IntelliJ Plateform.
I want to use the plugin system available in VS Code instead of developing my own plugin system.
Any help, any link or any information will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
There are at least two ongoing projects that you can take inspiration from in this field:
https://theia-ide.org/ by Eclipse, which is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud & Desktop IDEs. In the screenshots, you'll clearly distinguish the part coming from VSCode (like the Activity Bar) and custom ones, like the flexible layout system.
https://v2.onivim.io/ based on Vim but that should also leverage the VSCode plugins ecosystem according to the roadmap.
I am starting out with Ionic and I been using VSCode for all my development. One thing I miss in VSCode is the ability to view the UI (not as HTML) like preview and able to change things in the preview screens (like Visual Studio for asp.net).
Does VSCode do that with any plugins or is there an alternative editor which has this feature?
After some research found this https://creator.ionic.io and Robert Harvey's answer is good answer.
Despite adding an external URL to the JavaDocs of my Scala 2.10.4 SDK library setup in IntelliJ 15.0.1 (Project Settings -> Global Libraries -> scala-sdk-2.10.4 -> JavaDocs) [see screenshot below], the little blue arrow that (should) link to external documentation in the quick documentation viewer ([F1]) does not link to the external Scala documentation, instead remaining grayed out. Neither does the keyboard shortcut to view external documentation work ([Shift]-[F1]). How do I link to the external ScalaDoc SDK API documents, so that I can quickly open the online documentation (locally or on scala-lang.org, doesn't matter) for the content my cursor is on in the IntelliJ editor in the browser?
Unfortunately this is still an outstanding feature for the Scala plugin:

This was added 4 years ago and commented upon as quick to implement - perhaps chase JetBrains to implement
Using the new Visual Studio Code editor vs 1. This is not the full Visual Studio IDE but their atom.io based code editor. I would like to install plugins specifically for spell check and formatting my code. How can I do this?
I've followed instructions here: Is there a command for formatting HTML in the Atom editor?
but realized that I do not have a install plugin command.
It's been a few months since the question was asked (and answered), but thankfully, things have changed!
VSCode now support extensions!
Here's a relevant excerpt from the above blog post:
Extension Marketplace/Gallery
To complement the extensibility mechanism, we have also launched an in product gallery and web based extension marketplace. These allow you to discover and install extensions. To open this up in VSCode, simply hit F1 and select Extensions: Install Extensions.
Alternatively, you can browse the Extension Marketplace at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/#VSCode.
I gave the marketplace a quick search and easily found multiple extensions for spelling and source formatting, but I'll forego making any specific recommendations since everyone's requirements are different.
For anyone looking to write their own extensions for VSCode, take a look at the documentation for extending VSCode, as it has a lot of the information you'd need to start writing your own extensions.
Lastly, thanks to Daniel for his comment. It helped me find the information I needed, but to save future visitors some time, I thought it was worth sharing my findings.
Plugin support is not currently enabled in the VSCode editor. The development team were not happy with the plugin API, so they have disabled them until further work can be made on this.

Nowadays you can use Prettier and Code Spell Checker for the purposes.
Here are some use case for spell check:
Load a CSS, JavaScript, Text, etc. file. Words not in the dictionary files will have a squiggly underline below the text.
To see the list of suggestions just click on the 💡 (lightbulb) in the left hand margin. You have the option to add your own words to the workspace dictionary.
I would like to know how to write a plugin for Aptana Studio 3. To be more precise i would like to know what language should be used and where should i find an SDK or API. Of course I would also like to know how to integrate my plugin with the actual application since there is no plugin manager ( from what i have read ).
If this is not possible I would like to know if there is already a real-time collaborative code editor plugin, because this is what i intend to implement.
Ok, I have found an answer.
To be able to write plugins for Aptana Studio 3 is actually writing plugins for Eclipse just like #Thomas Clayson said.
If you are searching for real-time collaborative plugin for Aptana, than Saros plugin is your tool. You can find the installation guide here: http://www.saros-project.org/installation.
Hope this helps.
