I seem to remember that you can run the QB64 compiler from the command line? Is there a reference about it? When I search all I find is COMMAND$ etc.
I've been using VScode a lot lately and enjoying it. I'm toying with the idea of maybe making an extension for QB64.

Yeah, I've been tinkering with a vim extension (not mine originally) that compiles and runs from vim.
here's what I have from those scripts:
qb64 -c -o outputfilename inputfilename
switches
-o output exe filename
-c Compile file
-x As -c, but use the console instead of a graphical window for pr>
-z Do not compile generated C++ code.
-q Compile for Qloud.
-g Do not include graphics runtime (equivalent to $CONSOLE:ONLY)
All switches imply -c; -z and -q imply -x.
Options must proceed the filename.
-- can be used as a dummy option to force the next thing to be a file

Excellent. If I'm reading this correctly, you can have a look at the c++ code if you use -z?
But vim? That's hardcore. Nano is as far as I care to go with cli editors.

You can see the c-code as you write your program. It’s translated on the go, as the internal syntax checker works.
Find your program in internal/temp. Main.txt is the main program, translated line by line.

Kids these days ;) I did my first programming with a card punch. vim is high tech. Flawed, but high tech.
