TM1 coding extension for VSCode

We just put out a free TM1 coding extension for VSCode (also free).
I've been doing my TM1 coding in VSCode for several months now and I think it's a great environment and the extension makes it even better with syntax highlighting, code snippets, etc.
Happy coding!

Well done !! Much better and PAW or TI Helper from Cubewise.
But I have a question.
IMPORTANT: IBM Planning Analytics/Cognos TM1 does not allow for direct editing of the .RUX and .PRO files. All editing must be done by copying the appropriate text from the standard TM1 interfaces and pasted into VSCode. Editing can take place there, and once changes are completed, pasted back into the standard interface (such as Process Editor or Rules Editor)
Is there a parameter or something in the tm1s.cfg that we can change to allow direct editing of the .RUX or .PRO files ?

I doubt it very much.
For me, what works best until now, is using AutoHotKey to have a hotkey (F10) copy the code of the selected tab and paste into Notepad++, either a new file in an open instance, either a new instance. Another hotkey transfers the code back to the TI editor. I assume you would need a similar approach. Or use the TM1 REST API to update a certain tab of the process based on the code. In Notepad++ I have on the first line of the document the information of the window that will receive the code again.

There's no parameter that I know of. Unfortunately, that's just an annoying but necessary part of using these text editors for coding. It looks like Wim streamlined it a bit, I just do it the old fashioned way.
Wim, I find your MDX page very useful, I use it all the time.

With the GIT support in PA 2.0.7, this may work.

Hello,
Beside the fact that this VSCode TI Helper is really a great thing I've got the same issue as Emixam, no color coding
Regards,
Bob

There's an issue with the CarpeDatum Dark color theme on the new VS Code version (1.35). Simply change the color theme (File->Preference->Color Theme -> Dark+) and you'll see the syntax highlighting.
Cheers!

Live editing should be doable via rest. But Im afraid I dont have the skills to make it happen.
But as far as I understood it thats how the TM1 add-in for sublime does it.

Long research, its not possible... i managed to get a copy of VS Code for me.
