In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.
The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!
Pretty much any ide will spot that. Maybe you can use it to teach your colleagues not to use a plain text editor.
I’m gonna need the vi guy to teach me how to get this functionality in nvim pls–don’t make me leave
The plugin YouCompleteMe would show a warning on that line
Thank you masterchief Veidt! (I had to do it, best name ever)

Can you choose to use VSCodium instead? It’s practically identical, but isn’t controlled by MS.

I mean sure, but it’ll still likely leave 'em scratching their heads for a while before they go “I guess I just… replace the semicolon…?”
You can pry my vim and nano from my cold, dead hands!
^(I use an ide sometimes)^
That’s the plain text editor Helix. In a terminal. Over ssh. On my phone. Which I can do because I’m not using a dumb IDE.
