I created a tutorial for you!
I hope you like it, if you don’t understand some steps just ask!

Requirement

Node.js

Create the VSIX file

Go to C:/Users/<your_user>/.vscode/extensions and open the folder with your extension (i pick the snippets of my library)

open a command prompt (CMD) and write npm install -g vsce and it enter.

After the installation of the Visual Studio Code Extensions return to the your extension and download this Package.bat (12 Bytes) file or create a file .bat with this code:
vsce package

Run the .bat and a .vsix file will show up

Installing the extensions in the FxDK

Now open the FxDK and open the extension menu

Click on the 3 dot and click on Install from VSIX…
Now select the file we created earlier and your extension will be installed!
