VS Code and find the correct add-ons.

Also suggest you actually take advantage of the built-in emmet, auto rename tag, auto close tag, bracket pair colorizer 2, SCSS intellisense (if you're still using CSS, suggest you move away for any larger projects), TODO parser (like in Jetbrains suite it highlights any TODO: task stuff, good for keeping track of what sections still need to be done if you need to quick fix something and come back later), and get the snippet addon for whatever CMS/framework you're working on, like WordPress snippet.

Just go find stuff on: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode and install.

Thanx.

I'll check it out a bit later.



I am still looking for an app that can recognize website navigation structures and update them accordingly.

For example, I just changed an HTML file to a PHP file and now need to edit all other pages where the navigation is used and updated it.

Dreamveawer, back in the day could do it. Artisteer could also do it. I realize these are WYSIWYG editors and not IDE's, but it would be nice if an IDE could support such a feature.

Even if there's an IDE that could search & replace strings in a whole project, it would be a good start. Atom doesn't seem to do it.

That's for VS code, click the right-most icon.

In regards to the menu update, I haven't worked on any project in a long time that doesn't dynamically generate the menu, using a "basic" CMS like wordpress is usually enough.
Or if PHP, add the menu to e.g. a navigation file and then just include it, usually done in the header.

Wordpress we're using a template part for it,

as the menu consists of multiple parts and different parts are loaded depending on certain factors, etc. and wordpress also has the default menu that you can use, Google it.
but for you, you can without using something like wordpress, just use `include('navigation.php');` or whatever the file name is. Keep it in one place to easily be able to update it. An add-on for it seems a bit overkill.

every IDE can do this. It is found under "Refactor -> Rename" or where ever refactoring lives in each IDE
 
VSCode is one of the better IDEs I have used especially if you play around with the extensions and settings .
 
I have yet to find a decent use for a WYSIWYG editor, unless that editor is Word, and I am writing a document :p
 
Can I hijack this thread and ask about a HTML email editor.
Something to create templates for emailing with it's restrictions?

Other option is foundation for emails. I wish email clients would one day support hmtl5.
