Better plugin for Julia autocomplete for Vs code - visual-studio-code

I am new to Julia and wanted to shift from Juno IDE to vs code. Juno has a pretty awesome auto-complete which shows which package a function comes from. I was wondering if there is an external plugin that I could install to get something similar to vs code. The vs code hovering to get the details of the function is good, but I definitely prefer the one Juno offers.
Here is a pic of the Juno autocomplete

There is only one official Julia VS Code Extension at the moment which does support autocompletion: https://www.julia-vscode.org
The different results you see is just a factor of what the various IDE's are searching for when they populate that autocomplete list.
Note that this is on the radar of the Julia VS Code team: https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/1199

Visual Studio IDE's ToolBox alternative for VSCode

Visual Studio IDE has a nice feature: ToolBox, witch gives ability to save and use pieces of boilerplate code:
Can't find a similar extension for VSCode. There many extensions with the similar name but they serve different job and are a bit complicated for me.
Can you suggest me something similar to ToolBox please?
P.S. I' not asking about snippets, this is different.
Almost find it but it does not have foldering option and is no longer updated: Code Fragments

How to get WebStorm code formatting in VS Code

In the company we are using WebStorm for React, and for the last 3 years I have been working in VS Code.
Is there a way to get exact code formatting for all languages in VS Code as in WebStorm on default settings, and how to achieve that in order to prevent unnecessary diffs in git?
I can only tweak VS Code settings, I must not touch WebStorm.
To get the same formatting/functionality as Webstorm, I suggest using VS Code extensions. You will find an extension for almost every language/framework available on the VS Code marketplace.
Here is a list of recommended extensions that makes VS code behave as Webstorm.
For your particular case, I suggest you to use and configure Prettier.
Note that you might not want to install too many extensions but only the ones you need because loading too many extensions will probably slow down your IDE.

multiple token/color highlighter in eclipse IDE

As I'm a poweruser of Notepad++ 'Style token'-feature and Context Highlight Firefox-addon but mainly working with Eclipse (currently 4.5.1), I tried to find an equivalent solution as eclipse-plugin.
At the marketplace I came across Controlflow Code Search and Glance, but both did not meet my requirements.
Question is: is there a eclipse plugin available, which allows me to
highlight multiple tokens
in different colors
at the same time

Visual Studio Code Plugins (Format / Spell Check)

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.
For more information, see this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30006220/495328
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.

How to code in Eclipse as fast as in VisualStudio?

I am used to code in VisualStudio with Resharper. And I code fast with Resharper's auto-completion functionality. When I moved to Java and Eclipse I found out that Eclipse doesn't need a tool like Resharper, because Resharper was made so that VS could have funcionalities like Eclipse. After that I printed the list of Eclipse shortcuts and started coding.
But, it's been a month or so now and I code soooo slowly. I tried setting Eclipse intellisense (Content Assist) to open faster, but it didn't help. And the code completion is sooo slow too. For example, in VS I just select the method and resharper puts the closing bracket + semi-colon. Then, Eclipse has one shortcut for intellisense and the other for variable completion (alt+/), wtf.
What should I set in Eclipse so that I code as fast as in VS? Why Resharper+VS make me code faster that Eclipse? Am I missing some add-on or some settings?
PS. I did not intent to discredit Eclipse nor to start advocacy topic. I like Eclipse. I work in it 12h/day and I would like it to prove it's faster that VS.
Please help!
Take a look at JetBrains IntelliJ. It mimics a lot of resharper stuff as they are made by the same company.

ReSharper is the brainchild of JetBrains, the people who develop and sell IntelliJ.
If you want to find out what the analog of your ReSharper experience is for Java, use IntelliJ.
I used to like Eclipse, too - until I was shown IntelliJ. That was six years ago; I haven't gone back.
