The problem you are facing

QCodeEditor is not perfect enough.

Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to edit my code with smarter editors like VS Code while being able to Compile, Run and Submit easily through the help of CP Editor.

One of the possible solutions is, to optimize the IO view mode as follows:

• Add Compile, Run, Compile&Run and Submit button there, as well as made competition-specific features accessible.
• Allow draw&drop (from VSCode etc.) to open a file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe an api protocol to control open file, compile run and submit so that a vscode extension can be made.

Are you willing to contribute to this?

• I'm ready to contribute to this (and will open a PR soon)
• I'd like to have a try (with the help of the maintainers)
• No, thanks
