Reminder:
It is a non-official and non-affiliated with CCS thing!
The work was done 85% by AI on a quick manner rather for my personal use.
Use it on your risks.

The official PCW IDE has a lot of specific features like new project wizards with huge time-saving startup benefits, and help integrations, that this extension cannot substitute.

Features:
-VSCode IntelliSense features (code completion, parameter info, quick info, member lists)
-Compile / Clean as Tasks
-See and navigate to lines with Errors / Warnings / Information at PROBLEMS window
-Contextual Help (ccsc.chm) by right-click over a word in code

For further ideas, development etc. please comment here.

Yes, the CCS plugin mentioned above works well. For me, "IntelliSense-based" shortcuts and features are a "must-have" nowadays.
For example, ALT + left/right arrows, proper member access when passing a pointer to a function, and all the other features common in CubeIDE/Eclipse are essential if you're writing code seriously.
I'm sorry, but the CCS IDE feels heavily outdated. :(

After you've used it for 2+ decades, it won't feel 'outdated' rather an extension of your body and soul and you'll appreciate it more !

2. A new file named tasks.json with contents:
Code:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "picFlavor",
      "type": "pickString",
      "description": "Select: +FH(PIC18), +FB(PIC12), +FM(PIC16) or +FD(PIC24)",
      "options": ["+FH", "+FB", "+FM", "+FD"],
      "default": "+FH"
    }
  ],
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Build Project by PICC",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PICC\\ccscon.exe",
      "args": [
        "-M", "-T", "-A", "-Z",
        "${input:picFlavor}",
        "+EA", "+P02", "+J", "+STDOUT", "+O8hex",
        "${file}"
      ],
      "presentation": {
        "echo": true,
        "revealProblems": "onProblem",
        "reveal": "always",
        "focus": false,
        "panel": "shared",
        "showReuseMessage": false,
        "clear": true
      },
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "problemMatcher": {
        "owner": "custom",
        "fileLocation": ["absolute"],
        "pattern": {
          "regexp": "^(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(Info|Error|Warning)#(\\d+)\\s+(.*)$",
          "file": 1,
          "line": 2,
          "column": 3,
          "severity": 4,
          "code": 5,
          "message": 6
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

3. Also a new file named settings.json with contents:
Code:
{
    "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "disabled",
    "C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.checks.disabled": [
        "clang-diagnostic-error"
    ]
}

4. Also a new file named c_cpp_properties.json with contents:
Code:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "PICC",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**",
                "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PICC\\Devices",
                "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PICC\\Drivers"
            ],
            "defines": [
               
            ]
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}
//https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference


5. Download latest vscode and ... patience to load everything ...

6. Optional: For fast access you can create a shortcut to vscode with modifying the Target: field this way:
Code:
"C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" "C:\your project absolute path"
