Suggestions for 2020 - font ligatures and async exec in api

Hi, as of every year, i am writing my suggestions for next version of your editors.

First is code ligatures, mainly to use with the new font from microsoft, Cascadia Code: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandl ... adia-code/

Second is to add function to your plugin API, which will work like ExecuteCommand, only asynchronous - so i dont have to wait on frozen editor, while the plugins compile less/sass on save (3-5 seconds)

Thanks for adding idea i suggested, with the docked search panel :D

If you run "START <command>" with ExecuteCommand it will detach from current process

You can also use the "WScript.Shell" object like this:
Code: Select all
    var WSO = CreateOleObject("WScript.Shell");
    //WSO.run("cmd.exe /K \""+ cmd + "\"", 1);
    WSO.run("cmd.exe /C \""+ cmd + "\"", 0);


Or you can use my Gulp Taskrunner plugin which can be setup to watch local folders and process them in background when you save. (Uses Websocket to communicate with Webuilder)
