SUpport for Brackets or Visual Studio code

I know that sublime text has a plug-in for Corona, but I am not a very big fan of sublime(yes, I know) so I was wondering if there any plug-in/extension that works with either Brackets or VSC or is there any plans to supporting them. 

That is how Lua works but you’ll find a couple of nice Lua plugins to Visual Studio that might help you, just google “visual studioa lua plugin”.

Does VSC support plugins yet? I’d certainly be interested in taking another look at it once they implement that.

For now we only have a Sublime plugin. There are no current plans to support other editors. But, you don’t really need an editor to work with Corona.

Thank you.

How do you mean I don’t need an editor to work with corona ? where would I write my code ? :slight_smile:

I meant you don’t need a fancy editor. Notepad, Sublime, Notepad++, and any text editor should “just work” with Corona. If you use Sublime, however, you can download the Corona Editor (Sublime Plugin) which has some useful features.

What I think OP is looking for is more something like Visual Studio that have a lot of commands that auto-completes code, comments out code etc. etc.

For example in Visual Studio you type “for” and hit tab-tab and then VS completes a For-loop for you. That is just one of the million things that VS does. When I work with C# it saves me a lot of time and it would be nice to have these features in VS for Corona / Lua as well. I would not call these features fancy, just time saving. A long time ago I coded my first website in notepad but who does that anymore?

I know it’s not at the top of the list (and it shouldn’t be) but it would be very nice to have something like that (either in VS, Sublime or any other editor).

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for, IntelliSense is very important right now and most engines supports it perfectly, for example Unity-Spritekit, it’s way easier and time-saving especially for someone like me who is new to Corona, having to memorise all line of codes and what/how many parameters each function takes instead of focusing on the logic itself is not very convenient nowadays.
