====== Visual Studio Code ======

VSCode is the world's most popular multi-purpose code editor((https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-technologies-integrated-development-environment)). It has been extended to provide very good support for AutoHotkey 1.X and 2.X. Thanks to [[user:thqby]] VSCode has the most complete AutoHotkey v2 support of any editor, providing better intellisense and autocompletion than any AHKv1 editor or other AHKv2 editor.
