I want to create a small VSCode plugin that has autocomplete function for the Bootstrap classes.
I would like this autocomplete to work only when the cursor is between double quotation marks.
Is it possible to restrict the display of the auto-complete list only for this range?
I tried something like this:
"BTN": {
"scope": "string.quoted.double.html",
"prefix": "work-btn",
"body": [
"test-class;",
],
"description": "BS4"
}
but not working
It isn't possible to use syntax scopes in a snippet, see the discussion at
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/71187
I was going to suggest upvoting that issue but it has been locked. The functionality seems like it would be useful for various reasons, but might be cpu-intensive.

I currently have this in settings which does this trick when the comments are just text
{
"scope": "comment.block.cfml",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#f5cd76"
}
}
However if there are tags then the tags use their default color. I can see for a split second that the color of all the comment block is correct which tells me that something is overwrite it?
This is what it does
What i want it to do
You could install the CFML package for VSCode. (Assuming that's what you meant by Visual Code.) It identifies all the "parts" of statements and triggers what's needed, generally. Never had an issue. (Though I have had an issue with it using script comments (//) instead of the markup comments <!--- --->.
{
"scope": "comment",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#f5cd76"
}
}
this seemed to of worked
I want to extend postcss autocomplete with my custom colors/fonts/etc variables via custom-data-format. I can generate JSON like this in my UI Kit easily.
The problem is - I use postcss as syntax for *.css files therefore I'm unable to use autocomplete values as they're defined for css only in css.css-data.json. if I choose css syntax for those files - autocomplete works fine, but it obviously disables other PostCSS language features/syntax highlight etc.
How do I configure customData so whatever I define in css.css-data.json will work with postcss syntax?
I tried postcss.customData without any luck. Easily reproducible on this sample workspace
Any help appreciated, thanks!
As of now postcss syntax is not supported (you can track this issue for info), here's workaround to solve autocompletion :
You can achieve sort-of-autocomplete via snippets - here I've generated json named my-autocomplete.code-snippets and simply put it into workspace/.vscode:
{
"my-ui-kit-variables": {
"scope": "postcss",
"prefix": "$my-ui-kit",
"body": "${2|$my-ui-kit-color-white,$my-ui-kit-color-transparent,$my-ui-kit-color-black,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-10,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-100,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-200,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-250,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-300,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-400,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-500,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-600,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-700,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-night-800,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-10,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-100,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-200,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-250,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-300,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-400,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-500,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-600,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-700,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-800,$my-ui-kit-color-gray-day-900,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-100,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-200,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-300,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-400,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-500,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-600,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-700,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-800,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-900,$my-ui-kit-color-sonic-night-disabled,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-100,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-200,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-300,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-400,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-500,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-600,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-700,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-800,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-900,$my-ui-kit-color-minion-night-disabled,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-100,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-200,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-300,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-400,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-500,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-600,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-700,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-800,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-900,$my-ui-kit-color-karl-night-disabled,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-100,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-200,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-300,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-400,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-500,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-600,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-700,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-800,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-900,$my-ui-kit-color-candy-night-disabled|}"
}
}
Below I created a snippet that I was going to use in a styled component. The snippet responds to the listed prefix as expected as long as I do not use the snippet inside of a styled component. My question is if there is something that I need to include in the body of my snippet to be able to use the snippet regardless of if it is between template tags or not?
User Created Snippet:
{
"React Theme": {
"scope": "javascript,typescript,jsx",
"prefix": "theme",
"body": [
"${props => props.theme.${1:element}}",
],
"description": "React theme"
}
}
Short Clip of Behavior in editor
It may be because your scope language mode should be javascriptreact instead of jsx:
"scope": "javascript,typescript,javascriptreact",
Click on the file's language in the lower right corner and you will open a panel with all supported language modes with the proper spelling usage in parentheses - like Javascript React (javascriptreact) use that part in parentheses in settings or snippets that require a language mode.
Also put this into your settings:
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": true,
"comments": false,
"strings": true // this is the important one for you!!
},
so snippets get triggered in a template string.
Try using a different prefix than theme, does that conflict with something in an extension?
Works fine for me:
in VS Code does anyone know how to change the color theme for variable names for C++. I can change the colors for functions, comments, keywords, but I can't get variables to work. Any help would be great Thanks.
This has changed since the original answer was posted and it is now outdated.
As #alex-myers mentioned in the comments, you can use TextMate to target intellisense tokens.
For example:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[Visual Studio Dark]": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "variable.other.local",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#FF0000",
}
}
]
}
}
See: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/colorization-cpp
UPDATE: this is now possible with the C++ extension. Upvote #TheBat's answer since he originally posted the update. The scope is variable.other.local and his answer shows what to add to your settings file.
NOTE: the answer below is still accurate if you do not have the extension
I'm the maintainer of the VS Code C++ Syntax, and sadly there is not yet a way to change the color of all C++ variables, the Python syntax is the same way. You can change the color of source.cpp which will change the default color, and you can change the color of some existing variables with variable and variable.parameter, but this will still not affect many of the untagged variables.
We're working on changing this, but it is going to take quite awhile.
For general scope names, look at https://macromates.com/manual/en/language_grammars#naming-conventions
You can edit the corresponding theme *.json file. For example, if you are using the Dark+ (default dark) theme, you can find the theme json file at extensions/theme-defaults/themes/dark_plus.json. In this file we find the following text mate theme rule:
{
"name": "Variable and parameter name",
"scope": [
"variable",
"meta.definition.variable.name",
"support.variable",
"entity.name.variable"
],
"settings": {
"foreground": "#9CDCFE"
}
}
Please note that some themes do not define styling for the variable scope so you would have to add your own (like the above snippet). Also not all styles of variable naming are defined in the c++ grammar file. For more details on how to add your specific naming style grammar you can see this answer.
I have a custom js-doc attribute which contains the path to the dependency file.
eg: #dependency {import('loadash/somefile')}
Since this is simple string and error prone, I am looking for a way to extend vs-code import intellisense to this custom js-doc attribute. Vscode supports intellisense for standard js-doc attributes #type, #param and #typedef, would be great if there is a way to extend this behavior to my custom attribute.
example of the intellisense for #type attribute
I looked at few extensions related to this, but none offer the rich experience vscode offers. Any pointers in this regard would be really helpful.
Thank you for your time.
You could write a snippet for a quick and dirty solution. A snippet will show the intellisense menu and insert a piece of code based on a prefix you enter. They are saved in a JSON file in your settings directory ~/.vscode and would look something like this:
{
"deprecated": {
"scope": "javascript",
"prefix": "#D",
"body": "#Deprecated {import('${1:path}')}"
}
}
