I want to use VS Code to try out the examples of a JavaScript book, but there's no IntelliSense, or at least I don't know how to activate it.
In Visual Studio this feature works out of the box :
But in VS Code, all I got is a message saying "No suggestions."
What do I need to do to enable IntelliSense in VS Code?
Starting with the November 2016 (version 1.8) release, Visual Studio Code now fully supports IntelliSense for JavaScript in HTML.
Note that the language support doesn't follow script includes, it only knows about definitions made in the same file.
Currently Unsupported
JS intellisense doesnt work in HTML script tag - VSCode GitHub Issues #4369
Smart Javascript suggestions inside HTML files no loger working after Visual Studio Code update - StackOverflow
It worked for me, when the file had a .js extension. I didn't get any intellisense when I pasted it into .html file between script tags.
Edit To Add: You can also change the Language Mode by clicking 'HTML' in the bottom of the VS Code window and change it to 'JavaScript'.
It is supported!
Intellisense and syntax highlighting start working after replacing
<script>something()</script>
with
<script type="text/javascript">something()</script>
Make sure you have HTML language mode selected in the bottom right corner. I had Markdown mode set for an unknown reason (autodetect?) and it didn't work for me. Javascript mode won't work either for HTML files.
Visual Studio Code version 1.4.0 does not support CSS intelli-sense.
I have an extension for CSS style, id and class intelli-sense for html documents:
Features:
Style tag completion and hover.
Style attribute completion and hover.
Id attribute completion.
Class attribute completion.
Scans workspace folder for css files.
Supports optional resource.json file for fine tuned resource selection.

i got a little problem over here and i don't get why. My Syntax Highlighting doesn't work on a normal .js file whilst i've Babel Javascript & the Atom One Pro Theme activated as extensions. Don't get whats going wrong here.
picture of the code how it looks right now
Try the Template Literals plugin from the visual studio marketplace. Refer to the below blog for the exact reason.
Reference:

Currently Visual Studio Code always tries to autocomplete an HTML tag.
If I type for example useState<string>my IDE completes it to useState<string></string>.
I know that I can disable it: Visual Studio Code - Disable autocomplete "<>"
But I would like to have this feature in the HTML areas of my React project but not in the TypeScript areas.
Is there a way?
I'm looking for HMTL intellisense and code snippets in VS Code.
I searched the extensions marketplace for "html snippet" and found one dominant extension with 7.8M downloads: "HTML Snippets". I installed it and code some HTML intellisense, but no code snippets. I checked the extension description, and it says, under Update 5, "Disabling this extension as its functionality has been absorbed by VS Code main html extension."
Alright, so this extension has been permanently disabled by the creator. But what is the "VS Code main html extension"? It is called an extension, so I expect it to be in the extensions marketplace, but I can't find any extension named "main html extension" or anything like it.
Without any extensions right now, I have no HTML intellisense or code snippets.
What extension can I use now for HTML snippets?
I found that Markdown has something called reference-style links. I don't know if is it official Markdown syntax or it exists only in some Markdown add-ons.
I tried to create something like that in VSCode, but it doesn't work:
[Test][ducksearch]
[ducksearch]: https://duckduckgo.com
I wonder is it a bug/un-implemented function in VSCode or that syntax works only with some extension?
Reference-style links are part of the original Markdown specification. They should work just about everywhere Markdown does, and that includes Visual Studio Code.
Just add a blank line to separate the paragraph containing the link from the reference:
[Test][ducksearch]
[ducksearch]: https://duckduckgo.com
Not only reference-style links are supported natively by VSCode markdown editor, but VSCode 1.68 (May 2022) will enable "go to definition".
See issue 146293
Enable triggering go to definition on a markdown reference link to jump to the link definition
[text][link] // trigger on link here
[link]: https://example.com
Go to def (from text) should jump to the definition of link, at the end of the file
This is implemented in PR 148017, and available in the Insider edition right now.
I have been trying for a few hours now to add AutoHotKey as a language to the Beautify extension for Visual Studio Code, and am just about to pull my hair out.
Looking at the Overview on the download page I got the impression that I could add a new language, however, being sort of new to programming in general, the documentation I have been able to find has proven insufficient, and I could be mistaken entirely that custom languages is even a feature.
I have added
"beautify.language": {
"ahk": {
"type": "ahk",
"filename": ".ahk"
}
to Visual Studio Code's settings.json.
Furthermore, I have added a file .jsbeautifyrc to my file's directory
{
"ahk": {
"indent_size": 4,
"indent_char": " "
}
}
I would like for my file (with the extension .ahk) to be formattable with the settings provided, however, when I try to run Beautify I get "Couldn't determine type to beautify, please choose." and a choice of JS, CSS, or HTML.
I don't know where to go from here, any help would be great.
You cannot use Beautify because it doesn't support AutoHotKey as a language. i.e. It only knows Javascript, CSS, or HTML, it doesn't know the syntax for AutoHotKey.
Instead, you should install the AutoHotKey Extension:
vscode-autohotkey for Visual Studio Code. This will add AHK Syntax highlighting to Visual Studio Code.
