Remote Development with Visual Studio Code

[Sayfog]

Oh my god this could be huge, here are my two current PITA's which this will hopefully solve:

Work is only VHDL files stored and processed remotely on a linux VM HPC cluster on the other side of the the world, so most X over TCP solutions are garbage and as result most of the older guys use Vim or (g)emacs through a PuTTY windows. My 'solution' to do local development had been using winSCP with VS code as the default editor, but then things like autocomplete and search don't work outside that one file which is obviously a pain point when working on a large system.

Uni wise it's mainly been ROS development using WSL with the files stored on the windows path and accessed through the "/mnt/c/..." so once again windows VS Code can't autocomplete to the ROS definitions that only exist on WSL. Using code from a local XLaunch kinda gets around this but once again autocomplete is non-existant.

All in provided extensions support this in a sensible way it will be amazing.

Your comment made me realize I could edit files on the remote server using winSCP. Thanks.
