Is there any DOS editor with intellisense.
If Visual studio addin is there that will be more useful.
Have you seen http://www.drbatcher.com/ there's a free trail. Normally I just use Notepad++ or Notepad2 when editing my batch files as they give syntax highlighting.
More often I write PowerShell scripts now and use PowerGui Script editor when creating those scripts.http://powergui.org/
Try vim for DOS, along with an appropriate script (there's plenty to choose from).

Is it possible to lock files in visual studio code? Similarly to what you do in vim where you have to press "i" if you want to modify files I'd like to be able to keep the files locked and then press a key that allows me to modify them and then lock them again. Is it possible to do so in visual studio just like in vim?
It looks like you're looking for a "modal editor" interface.
If using actual Vim keybindings and commands would work for you, then consider adopting Vim for VS Code, which emulates most of the Vim UI inside VS Code.
It should give you the best of both worlds.
Because of the lack Intellisense in Sublime, I prefer to using Visual Studio to code C# and Pycharm to Python.
ctrl + d in Sublime can select mutiple same word in text. So I can alter the selections on same time. It is convenient to alter the name of same variable in a function. How can I do that in my other editors?
The Ctrl-D multiple selection tool is one of its greatest features of Sublime Text 2 and is sorely lacking in other editors and IDEs.
Visual Studio doesn't have it built-in but there's a MultiEditing plug-in for it.
IntelliJ, which PyCharm is based on, doesn't have it either but it's apparently being planned for a release that should be out soon. See this blog comment (and the link in it) for more.
Meanwhile, you can use the rename refactoring tool in Resharper (for Visual Studio) or in PyCharm. It's not the same as multiple selections but is very useful functionality in its own right.
A nother IDE that does support it is Webstorme - alt+j. you can read the stackOverflow discussion about it here : How can I select next occurrence in IDEA editors
I just tested it on Webstorme10, and it works perfectly, just like in Sublime.
Try ctrl + h. It is the standard shortcut in many editors for replacing text.
I'd like to have a tool window in Visual Studio that allows me to type command line things (e.g. git stash, npm install, etc.) in the current project's working directory. Something like this in Eclipse.
I can't find any such option in any of the menus, but admittedly they're labyrinthine. I tried looking through the Visual Studio gallery, but no dice either. Any extension or hidden option that would give me this?
PowerShell would probably also work, as from what I understand that's a superset of the regular shell.
In Visual Studio 11, the NuGet Package Manager Console is a fully featured PowerShell console. You can do all kinds of things there, including file system operations, git/hg/svn/tfs commands, etc.
You also can customize the experience with a special PowerShell profile called NuGet_profile.ps1.
Installing the NuGet VSIX from the Visual Studio gallery will get you a similar experience in VS2010 if I'm not mistaken.
For anyone that comes across this in 2018+, there is now also the Whack Whack Terminal extension from Microsoft's Daniel Griffen (#dgriffen on GitHub), which gives you exactly what you were looking for.
Whack Whack Terminal is a terminal emulator for Visual Studio 2017. Unlike other terminals for VS, Whack Whack Terminal is fully interactive. Users can launch interactive git commits, vim, or almost any other command line utility.
The default terminal is powershell and it can be opened with the shortcut chord "Ctrl+\, Ctrl+\".
CMD and WSLBash are also available terminal choices.
It's also open source! You can find the source code at Microsoft/WhackWhackTerminal on GitHub.
There is a command window in Visual Studio (CTRL + ALT + A) or (View -> OtherWindows -> Command Window)
You can then use the shell command to run external executables
The syntax is:
shell [/command] [/output] [/dir:folder] path [args]
You can download PowerConsole from the Visual Studio extensions gallery.
On my last job, they used Visual Studio 2005 (and occasionally Visual Studio 97), and for command line convenience I used vim for editing things like Mercurial version control configuration files like hgrc and .hgignore
However my coworkers soon began to complain that vim would change the encoding of the files, and would cause a message to popup in Visual Studio telling them about the encoding difference.
After that I stopped using vim and just ended up editing the files in Visual Studio.
Are there any changes to vim's configuration I can make so that this does not occur?
I'd use notepad to edit my files but it always puts that pesky .txt extension on the ends of my files.
I'm also aware of solutions like Notepad++, but I just wondered if there was a solution for this in vim.
If it is because their VS files are being saved as UTF-8 by default and your vim is doing ISO-8859-1 or ASCII, try changing your file encoding:
" Encoding displayed
:set encoding=utf-8
" Encoding written to file.
:set fileencoding=utf-8
For new files
:set ff=dos
In the standard setup, vim will preserve the line-ending style of an already existing file.
Another option might be to use ViEmu, which is a plugin that provides vi emulation within Visual Studio. Please note that it is not a free plugin, but to me it's worth paying for.
VSVim is a free extension for VS2010 that provides a fair bit of vim functionality built right in the IDE.
ViEmu is a much more complete implementation that's not free but is worth the money.
Does anybody have a color/font/intellisense add in for editing of NSIS files?
You can edit usertype.dat file for a bit of syntax highlighting, but it's nicer to use an editor which has support for NSIS files (any Scintilla based editor - SciTE, Notepad++, Notepad2)
Haven't tested yet but this probably does the trick: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5e57fe9a-ae5d-4740-a1c3-7a8e278e105b
