Do you know any resources how to built custom editor with custom intellisense popups and syntax highlight? I'm searching the one similar to SciTE.
Thanks.
There are a number of open source IDEs out there that you can check the source code for.
MonoDevelop
SharpDevelop
KDevelop
Notepad++
They all support syntax highlighting and intellisense (do different degrees).

I have installed CnPack (https://www.cnpack.org) to get. At least, a little bit of the experience you get with VS Code. CnPack is a really great tool and I don't want to miss it, but it overwrites the default Shortcuts of Delphi RAD Studio. After Installation, I miss the Shortcut for automatic code formatting. Usually it is CTRL + D. I found that CnPack has also Code Formatting ability, but I could not find the manuals for it, and therefore I could not find the keyboard shortcuts for that. Any experience with that?
Can you customise colors of javascript editor in visual studio 2019 to have the same has in vscode, I already look into the police and fonts editor of vs2019 + extensions for more User Tags but none of them change the colors settings.

I having same problem, Javascript sytnax color in Visual Studio 2019 seems broken for now:

The only solution for me is using VSCode..
VS ReShaper extension supports VSCode-like syntax highlighting:

Example: https://i.imgur.com/Atw4yBP.png
The only caveat being ReShaper is not free and causes lag. However, there are many extensions claiming to replace (parts of) ReShaper and chances are one of these also enables similar syntax highlighting.
Does anyone know how to turn off this annoying popup in Visual Studio Community 2019?
All the answers I see for it are for Visual Studio Code when I google it, which says to change it under the "File" > "Preferences" menu. Visual Studio 2019 doesn't have that menu. I just want to code without visual obstructions from my editor. Driving me nuts. Thank you!
The language is VB in ASP Classic environment.
I have turned off everything I could find that seems like it could be related to a popup under the "Options" menu, but many of the descriptions there are obscure. You could seriously make a full time job out of learning what all this stuff means.
I found an answer, however odd it may be. With #JackArbiter's help in narrowing down the possibilities, it turned out to be the file type within the environment that was the issue. I didn't realize at first that it was only a certain file extension that was creating the issue. The *.asp files behaved appropriately, but the *.inc files were the problem.
I went to "Options" > "Text Editor" > "File Extension" and added the "inc" file extension there with the editor set to Visual Basic. These files now behave the same as the asp files.
Go to Tools>Options>Text Editor>[Your markup or language] and you can adjust the intellisense settings. In your case there will be no intellisense settings listed (general HTML is what I assume to be the issue here, though you'll have to do this again probably for the language of the IF/Else code blocks) so go to HTML>General and uncheck "Auto list members" at the top.
I have to analyze a lot of Delphi code in XE4.
For that I'm missing a feature to highlight a variable or function/procedure name by just clicking on it (like Eclipse or Netbeans does).
Is there an option for this I haven't found so far or can this be fixed with an addon?
I recommend you to try CnPack. It greatly enhances IDE and also adds this feature.
You can also use the built-in Find function. When you do, it highlights all of the matches in the entire file. Best of all, no add-on is required!
Is anyone aware of any text editors with Visual Studio editor functionality? Specifically, I'm looking for the following features:
CTRL+C anywhere on the line, no text selected -> the whole line is copied
CTRL+X or SHIFT+DEL anywhere on the line, no text selected -> the whole line cut
Thanks!
Komodo Edit does the two things you specified.
I use it all the time as a secondary editor, for various scripting and other programming tasks. Tons of features, free, open source.
Zeus can emulate the Visual Studio keyboard.
To change the keyboard mapping just use the Options, Editor Option menu and in the Keyboard panel and select the MSVC as the active keyboard mapping.

Notepad++, UltraEdit and TextPad are good ones.
EditPad Pro will cut or copy the line the cursor is on when no text is selected. People sometimes report that as a bug.
Twistpad looks something like Visual Studio 2005/2008 editor and seems has the same key bindings, including Ctrl-X to cut whole line if no text was marked.
Slickedit
Not to steal Chris' thunder for his suggestions on Notepad++, UltraEdit, and TextPad, but I would like to point out that there is a version of UltraEdit which can be run from a thumb drive (for those people who lack Admin rights at work and can not install programs).
