Open the Lua window (Ctrl + L) and specify the path to your Code.exe of your VS Code install.

2: Install the Atomontage Extension​

Install the Atomontage API Extension here. You can also navigate to the extensions tab in VS Code and search for "Automontage". The Atomontage extension provides API autocompletions for classes, properties, functions and parameters. It also comes with the Lua Language Extension to provide IntelliSense for Lua.
