Is there any way to use variable vscode to get editor content just like Atom without writing Extension.
After getting editor content, I can do more things like:
Use Javascript to modify text literally
Custom format
vscode image
atom image
No. This is not supported.
You can use the extension API to extend VS Code. This API lets you get and modify editor contents

At my place of work, we have a standard source header. I've been using snippets to generate it when adding text to a file. However, since it's supposed to be pretty much used on everything, I figure I might as well see if I can automate its generation on file creation.
Is there a way to automatically add text to a file on creation in vscode? Can I generate different text based on the file extension?
I'm working on a VS code extension and would like to create a deep link which opens a file side-by-side with an extension. Let's take the JSON editor extension as an example. Is it possible to create a link which opens a JSON file side-by-side with the editor window?
I'm aware of the following deep link pattern:
vscode://file/Users/d070350/test.process.json
Can I extend it somehow to open the JSON editor alongside the file?
I want to display some informations of a binary file in vs code.
Is it possible to write an extension for vs code, such that when selecting that file in the Explorer (or opening it directly) you see some text extracted from the binary file by that extension?
So the core functionality of that extension would be (simplified) a binary to text converter.
Any suggestions?
The VS Code team member has confirmed they do not have support for registering content providers for binary files in my issue.
I've inspected the workspace.onDidOpenTextDocument and window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor APIs, but neither seems to be called when opening binary files.
Is there a way to display fallback content using registerTextDocumentContentProvider (or otherwise) for binary files?
That's why these types all carry Text in their names, TextEditor, TextDocument, etc. They can only handle textual, not binary data ;-)
No explanation as to why this works for PDFs, probably special-cased.
Visual Studio code has very nicely formatted release notes:
I'd like to create files that look this nice.
How is this done for VSCode? And, is it possible for me to generate a similar document (embedded images, formatting, hyperlinks) in VSCode? Or, do they use a 3rd party tool?
Yes, the release notes are just markdown converted to html that is rendered in a webview. You can use the built-in markdown preview to view markdown content in this way
If you are writing an extension that needs to show nicely formatted content like this, use the vscode.previewHtml command. This example extension provides an example of how to do this using TextDocumentContentProvider
