I'm looking into creating something like a macro for localization of strings. Until now, I have only find that (maybe) a custom Code Action might be what I need.
After I select some code, let's call it selection, I want the to:
Ask me for a name
Write to another file: name = selection
Write in current file: (some_fixed_code)name(some_other_fixed_code)
Is there any way to create that macro, for it lo launch with a left click option or a keyboard shortcut?
Thanks in advance!

I want visual studio code to suggest an autocompletion for an entire line if I start typing the first few characters of any line already in the file, regardless of the content of the existing line. So if this is the content of my file:
this is a line with whitespace
this,is,a,comma,separated,list
And I type this on a new line, I would get a pop-up like any other autocomplete suggestion and I could fill in either of the lines above. How can I do this (and if I can't, is there another editor that has this ability)?
The extension Line Completion does what you want.
You have to configure for which files (language identifiers) it should perform these suggestions. (To prevent to much calculation on large files where you don't use it. See the README page.
Is there a keyboard shortcut How to make VS Code treat/reopen/reload files without extension as a certain language?
Just to be clear, here's my use case:
Sometimes I have a big JSON I need to read so I copy it in VsCode new file but since it's a new file I have to save it a s JSON extension to read it in the correct format. So my question is: Is there a way to specify the language for this new file(without extension) to open it as JSON for example?
Thank you
I found these two options:
// The following example associates all files in a folder `somefolder` to PHP:
"files.associations": {
"**/somefolder/*.*": "php"
}
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview#_can-i-map-additional-file-extensions-to-a-language
// The default language mode that is assigned to new files.
"files.defaultLanguage": "html"
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview#_how-do-i-set-the-default-language-for-new-files
Add the lines of your choice to settings.json.
Nevermind guys I found it:
The feature is called Change Language Mode.
The default shortcut is Ctrl+K M if you want to customize it here's the name of the command:
workbench.action.editor.changeLanguageMode
You can also click in the lower right of VSCODE window to change the language mode:
Are there any extensions/features in vs-code which could let me know where the current file is imported? I usually do a global search of the filename but it is time consuming when the file name is similar to any variable or there are similar named files.
You can do a right-click on every function / variable or class. Then you choose "Find all references" to show where each function / variable or class is called.
For this you do not need an extension, because it is a standard feature of vscode
- find unused exports in project:
you can use this extension in vscode to find all unused exports
+ find name references (e.g. used exports) in project:
click on name then press shift+alt+F12
NO EXTENSION REQUIRED
Yes, We can find the references of a file in VSCODE like this:
Right-click on the file and then select Find References.
VSCODE will show all the references/imports of the file.
image reference
Right-click > Go to References (Shift + F12)
There is also an extension to change the appearance of how references show https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jrieken.references-plusplus
If you are limiting your search to the current open workspace / folder, you can
do a search for 'import' using the magnifying glass or pressing ctrl+shift+s
open the results in editor by either clicking the link that says 'Open in editor' or by pressing alt+enter
In the document that opens, search for the name of your module.
In this way you will discover all of the imports that involve your module, regardless of whether you have used 'import mymodule' or 'from mymodule import myfunction' or anything else. I'm specifically thinking of how I'd structure a python project, but if you are using another language, you can alter the search in a way that works for the way your language does imports.
I searched in vscode site but I couldn't find information on the following:
Is there any way to search definition in other files.
For example:
In sublime text I can open command pallette (ctrl+p) and write 'User.php#delete' - this will find the method and if i click enter I will go the the specific file and in the line where method 'delete' is.
Does the functionality exist in VSCode (or with extension).
Thanks
There are multiple options to search function/definition.
According to your convenience, you can choose one of the below options :
Best shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+O and type your function name.
Press Ctrl+P for "quick open", then you can use # or #: The latter is handy to see all the symbols in the file grouped by classes, constants, fields, methods
Press Ctrl+T to searches across files, not just the current file.
Hover the method and press crtl. The method will be underlined and show a tooltip with definition. Mouse left click = go to definition.
yes, in command palete enter # symbol (without preceding >) end method name.
Today I have question about Eclipse. I use this IDE very long and I think it is good, but last time I miss for some functionalities...
Is it possible to set some shortcut which will do something like:
Mark some text ('Hello world'), trigger shortcut (Ctrl+T) and it will do something with that text - in example adds text before and after selected text ($this->_('Hello world'))
?
Thanks for any sugestion !
From this, it appears you have to implement your own command in a plugin. The process looks more involved than simply setting a menu choice.
Equivalent functionality can be defined without commands, if you're willing to give up the keyboard shortcut and use content assist instead.
I'm not sure if it will work with the language you're using (PHP?), but with Java in Eclipse it is possible to use Code Templates.
You would define your own template, when it was applicable and what it would do. This could then be accessed with Ctrl+Space through the possible content assist methods. So in the context of Java statements, I can define:
this.call(${word_selection});
So when I highlight a word, such as "Hello, world", I can use the template to change it to:
this.call("Hello, world");
(There are ways to limit it to only String types instead of word selections, but that will most likely not apply to your language, so I didn't pursue exactly how to do it.)
The Code Templates menu is available through Window->Preferences.
