PHP, JS and CSS autocomplete is terrible in vs code… why? - autocomplete

VS Code is great in nearly everything, except for autocompletion. Am I missing a plugin, am I missing something ? Is it being fixed ?
I've tried all top rated plugin for each language.
CSS : it does not suggest classes from other files, even opened ones.
PHP : intellisense, Crane and intelephense are kinda OK bug miss out a lot of definition… even from variables declared on the same file. (I have to use PHP 5, it might explain the problem)
JS : more surprisingly, even JS isn't great. There's a lot of missing methods… like "parentNode", "children", "classList.contains" and countless more…
Why is it so average, when the rest of the software is top notch ?
Is there any steps to improve the situation ?
Do I have to switch to PHPstorm ?
Thanks

Adobe Brackets - Autocomplete CSS tags in JavaScript file

I've been using Brackets for some time now, like it very much, but I could like it even more :)
I am doing a lot of a/b testing so I write most of my code in JavaScript, that also means I have to write CSS inside a JavaScript file and I'm wondering if there is any chance for autocomplete to show me hints not only for JavaScript but also for CSS?
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
I think that Brackets doesn't have an extension to support it yet but there is re sharper which is available for visual studio and some other ides which does the job.

How well does the current DreamWeaver work with complex PHP frameworks?

I've always been intrigued by DreamWeaver, particularly the ability to click on something and edit its CSS right there so I don't have to find it in my huge list of CSS. However, I use a pretty complex home-made MVC framework for my coding that loads and creates pages through a series of includes, classes, function calls, etc. Quite a while ago, I tried a little to get Dreamweaver to even load a page but gave up pretty quickly. It wouldn't even display a single thing. I didn't try anything special though to get it to work like messing in the settings though.
I was wondering if DreamWeaver can handle something like this at this point and if so, what version would I need and how can I find out how to do it? If not, does anyone know of a good visual IDE where I can edit CSS just by clicking on something that would also support a complex PHP MVC framework page loading process?
You have to know how to develop a Dreamweaver extensions. The following resource, official Adobe website, offers a manual to do that:

How to disable this Netbeans highlighting?

I'm not sure if StackOverflow is the right site for this question but i don't think I'd get better help from other than developers here.
Basically Netbeans keeps highlighting scripting in ERB or HTML files. I tried to disable many things in tools -> options -> fonts & colors. But none worked.
Any one knows how to get rid of that? It appears on all themes.
Old Queston, but still relevant, (and in other IDEs as well). For Netbeans v8, you will find most of the old links / themes unusable. But there is a way.
Go to Tools -> Plugins and search 'theme' and you will get "Dark Look And Feel Themes"
The default that came up after a reboot did NOT have the ugly highlighting on scripts, and it is easy on the eyes (unlike the default theme), plus it has good color-highlighting for "html.erb" files. The controller code could use some work on the highlighting, but I can live with it.
And before anyone points it out - yes, official support was dropped by NB for Ruby. The community, however, has done a great job via plugins keeping the Ruby/Rails support working.

ckeditor plugin for custom links / tags

I'm using CKeditor 3.6 and find myself in need of writing a simple plugin. What I need is a button that works much like the format buttons (bold, italic, etc.) except that it will turn this:
SelectedWord
not into, say,
<b>SelectedWord</b>
but into:
SelectedWord
I've tried looking into the various plugins that come with CKeditor, but quite frankly, they are more confusing then helpful. I've read the tutorials, I know the basics of writing a plugin, but what eludes me is the functionality itself.
You are going to have to hack the CKEditor code base, but let me tell you that hacking around ckeditor is not so difficult. Also, there are versions of the older fckeditor floating around. Compare the two and see which one would be easier to hack for your mod. I have had to use the older version specifically for creating pinholes against Coldfusion so I could use the file upload segment of the tool. And in another case to function against domain cookies, because of security issues with regular cookies. FCKEditor and CKEditor has never been a clear install for me with the base product. I hope this is somewhat helpful.

Plugins issues in Netbeans 6.9

I used to work with the (nice) Javascript and Jquery plugins in Netbeans 6.8. But after the update, I've lost all my plugins (actually, I've lost all my settings too, nice job guys ...) and I'm unable to find the JS plugins again, even after checking all the sources, nor can I find the package on the net. Any idea ?
Extra question : How can I change the font in menus (not the code's font) ? Default font really hurts the retina.
Thanks
I might be wrong, but about the "font" question, try this:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/themes/themes.html
Perhaps the plugins you have used to work with are still not ported to 6.9 - you could try to find the plugins here: http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/updates and try to install them manually.
