In intellij Idea, I could type "psvm" for a main method, and "fori" to get a for loop, and "sout" to get a system println, is there a way to customize intellisense in visual studio code to get the same behavior?
VSCode has many extensions that provide "snippets", shortcuts for code segments like you mentioned. The C/C++ extension which you might already have installed provides some for C++, such as main for a main method and for for a for loop. If you have the extension installed, snippets work exactly like other intellisense suggestions; you can simply type them and then press enter or tab to apply them.
You can also look for other snippet extensions by searching for #category:"Snippets" in the extension section.
people from StackOverflow. I have a very frustrating experience with VS Code. At the moment of starting a new file, a mode starts on the editor that makes me being unable to type anything. Here is a youtube link from me, trying to type something.
Unable to type characters in VScode
Please, tell me, what should I do?
press control+C, then press "i" to get in the "insert" status, you could edit your file now.
It looks like you have the Vim extension, or another extension, installed which is causing this. I see SURROUND INPUT MODE in the status bar which is probably the cause. Look at your extensions and see whether you need to disable or uninstall one, or start Code with --disable-extensions flag to disable them all.
I have been having the same problem caused by a plugin called vim (vim emulation for Visual studio code)...If it can help..
I had the same issue so I look up to Visual Studio Extensions and Disabled Vim extension then I can now edit my code anytime.
I had the same issue which was caused by the vim extension. Just go to extensions and type in vim, if it's installed clicked uninstall then reload/refresh vscode. This worked wonders for me.
Just press "i" on your keyboard, it should work!
You can disable this by starting with the letter i while your file is opened and with the cursor at any point on your file. Tapping i on your keyboard should immediately take you back to insert mode.
Challenge with this: You have to do it for every file before you start typing.
This is probably the VIM extension. You can keep the extension, all you need to do is command + C then i. the i is to get into insert mode.
To completely solve this problem, you may have to uninstall or disable VIM as an extension
Had the same problem. all I had to do was disable the vim extension install in my vscode
Disabling vim plugin in VS code helps.
I just trying to switch my editor from NetBeans to VSCode, however there is one feature which i missed from NetBeans and seem not exist at VSCode. I am not sure what is the name of the feature, i just call it "Scope mark line". The detail is like picture attached.
My question is, is there any plugins can bring that feature to VSCode? Please let me know if any, thanks in advance.
I also had a hard time searching for this feature, and found this VS Code Extension on the Marketplace: guides which adds various indentation guide lines. This worked for me editing ruby and bash files on osx.
Some of the tags for the extension:
guides indentation indentation guides ruler
From Default indent line guide in Visual Code?
Enable in settings.json:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": true
I've recently started using the Visual Studio Code editor. I'm really loving it, but there's one critical feature (for me) that I haven't been able to find. Is there a method list, similar to the Navigator in NetBeans or Member dropdown in Visual Studio?
Yes, there is the workbench.action.gotoSymbol command. On Windows and Linux it's set to CTRL+Shift+O by default, on Mac it's Cmd+Shift+O.
If this command isn't available for the file types you are working with then you should take a look at the VSCode extensions. Not all languages support this feature.
Update: As stated in the comments by #jeff-xiao this extension is Deprecated and it's now a built in feature of Visual Studio code. It should be available at the bottom of file explorer as "Outline" view.
Previous text:
There is now an Extension that supports this. Code Outline creates a panel in the "Explorer" section and for JavaScript, will list variables and functions in a file. I've been using this for a while now and it scratches the itch I had. Other commenters have mentioned it supports Python and PHP well.
It still seems to be in development but I haven't had any issues. Development version available on GitHub. If you're the author reading this - thanks!
This is how it looks:
If Code Outline is not visible, you can show it by:
Invoke Code's Go to symbol command:
macOS: cmd+shift+o (the letter o, not zero)
Windows/Linux: ctrl+shift+o
Typing a colon (:) after invoking Go to symbol will group symbols by type (classes, interfaces, methods, properties, variables). Then just scroll to the methods section.
In 2020 version of VSCode
Cmd+P
# - Find symbol across files
# - Find symbol within file
#: - Group symbols within a file
In VSCode 1.24 you can do that.
Right click on EXPLORER on the side bar and checked Outline.
There is a new release that can do that!
Check here the latest release notes regarding code outline
UPDATE: The extension features are now built-in and the extension itself is now deprecated
I have found this extention: Code Outline.
This is how it looks like:
I believe that is what you have been looking for.
There's no such feature today,
the CTRL+SHIFT+O == CTRL+P # doesn't work for all languages.
As a last resort you can use the search panel - although it is not so fast an easy to use as you'd like - you can enter this regex in the search panel to find all functions:
function\s([_A-Za-z0-9]+)\s*\(
For PHP users :)
Make sure you have 'PHP Symbol' plugin then you can get all methods and class in 'OUTLINE' Sidebar's Bottom.
Press ⌘ command + ⇧ shift + O in "macOS" or Ctrl + Shift + O while using "Windows"
OUTLINE:
#Symbol:
For python in Explorer View, click on OUTLINE as below:
Visual Studio Code market place has a very nice extension named Go To Method for navigating only methods in a code file.
Hit Ctrl+Shift+P and type the install extensions and press enter
Now type Add to method in search box of extensions market place and press enter.
Click install to install the extension.
Last step is to bind a keyboard shortcut to the command workbench.action.gotoMethod to make it a real productivity thing for a developer.
Watch this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_40#_type-filters-for-outline-and-breadcrumbs
Explorer -> OUTLINE, you can choose what you want to show (only methods and functions in your case) and the result is similar to Netbeans:
Open symbol by name :
CTRL+T
might be what you are looking for. Works perfectly with my TypeScript project.
It is an extra part to the answer to this question here but I thought it might be useful. As many people mentioned, Visual Studio Code has the OUTLINE part which provides the ability to browse to different function and show them on the side.
I also wanted to add that if you check the follow cursor mark, it highlights that function name in the OUTLINE view, which is very helpful in browsing and seeing which function you are in.
ctrl+shift+o // This should work for javascript files by default
For PHP install the extension PHP SYMBOLS
FOR PYTHON install the extension PYTHON
On Reload, this will work fine
in-built code OUTLINE available now with VS code
There is a plugin called show functions which lists all the function definitions in a file. It also allows you to sort the function so can search them easily.
CTRL+F12 (CMD+F12 for Mac) - opens for me all methods and members in PHP class.
For find method in all files you can press CTRL + P and then start search with #
example : #signin
Take a look at Show Functions plugin.
It can list functions, symbols, bookmarks by configurable regular expressions. Regular expressions are a real saver, expecially when you're not using a mainstream language and when CodeOutline doesn't do the job.
It's ugly to see a split window with these functions (CodeOutline seems to be better integrated) but at least there's something to use
If you are using typescript you can use this extension "Code navigator for typescript".
I have been trying it and found it useful to list my typescript class methods.
I'm used to the sublime text 3 editor.
It has many handy features.
take the code snippets for example,
Once you type begin then press TAB
It will generate the corresponding code block
begin
rescue Exception => e
end
And the plugin All Autocomplete
It can show the auto-complete hint for all opened files.
For example, if you have a variable name called taiwan_is_awesome
then you can get the autocomplete in other files.
Does Rubymine has the above features ?
If yes, what's the corresponding keymap ?
It's important for me to use those features.
THanks
Once you type begin then press TAB
It's called "Live Templates".
"Live templates (or code snippets) allow you to insert frequently-used constructions into your code. These can be conditions, blocks, loops, and so on."
You can manage bundled and create new ones at Settings/Preferences | Editor | Live Templates.
Here is a good "how to use" tutorial with screenshots: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Live+Templates+%28Snippets%29+in+PhpStorm -- it's for PhpStorm but exactly the same functionality is available in RubyMine.
UPDATE: 2022-11-15
The above tutorial link now automatically redirects to the corresponding Help page for PhpStorm.
Here is the same official Help page but for RubyMine that shows how to use and create them: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/using-live-templates.html
The setting you want to make RubyMine code completion work like All Autocomplete in Atom & ST3 is called "Autopopup code completion".
Solution:
Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion > "Autopopup code completion"
Note: there is another type of code completion called "Hippie Completion".
However, it works differently than "All Autocomplete". In RubyMine "Hippy Completion", you start typing text, and then you have to "guess" when RubyMine has enough text to figure out the completion you want. Then you hit ⌥/ (on the Mac). If RubyMine guesses right, it will autocomplete correctly.
I greatly prefer the "All autocomplete"/"Autopopup code completion" method, but just thought I'd mention this alternative.
