I've always had issues with Code-d! I filed several issues on its 
GitHub repo, but my experience with the Code-d author was that 
those issues are likely to remain open and unaddressed.

I switched to DLS and I'm much happier now. I'm glad we have 
options. So thanks for the hard work and keep it up!
