vscode-vex's Issues

Indentation is shifted when function completion is used

I recently installed this nice plugin!

However, I have a small problem.
When I type in a function, use completion, and press Enter, the indentation space seems to be shifted to the left!

The number of spaces that are shifted seems to depend on the number of function arguments entered.
If the number of arguments is 1, there is no problem.
If the number of arguments is 2 or more, 1 less space than the number of arguments is shifted.
(If I change to tab indentation, this bug does not occur.)

The indentation settings in VS Code should be fine.

Could you please investigate?

Enhance syntax support for attribute arrays

Hi, I have applied custom colors to match the syntax highlight in Visual Studio Code with the Houdini editor.
I have noticed that Visual Studio syntax doesn't recognize the attribute arrays likle - s[]@NAMEs.
Visual studio doesn't have textmate scope for such items so the color highlight doesn't match.
Could be nice to add this item to syntax to have 1-to-1 matching.

Connection to Wrangler ?

Will there be a connection between a Wrangler Node & this extension for Visual Studio Code coming so one can send code from Visual Studio Code to the wrangler or vise versa ?

Add new VEX functions.

new VEX function for Houdini 18 .. any upgrade ?

thanks for your time

dict type declaration doesn't highlight

dict is missing from types and doesn't highlight.

dict mydict; doesn't highlight dict like it would for an int/float/vector or other declaration

Send to vex dialog ?

Is it possible to add functionality to send to a wrangler node or any node which accepts vex so that one could do their vex code in vscode then simply send to the selected node which accepts a vex code input ?

Pull requests ?

Many thanks for putting this together @melMass!
I'm also looking to extend the currently available list of functions ( #4 )

Do you accept pull requests or should I fork and make my own?

Let me know

Option to add semicolons on completion

Could you add argument type labels to a function's argument placeholder text? See example below.
In the snippets description block--could you add the return type of functions?
Is it possible to add the semicolon on functions as part of the snippet?

Examples:
addpoint(int geohandle, vector pos);
addvertex(int geohandle, int prim_num, int point_num);

Thanks for all your hard work!

Better Comments in VEX Extension

Hi, I was hoping you communicate with the author of the extension Better Comments to add the comment feature into this VEX extension.

[Suggestion] Add more Functions descriptions

I test VSCode and Sublime text, and I find in sublime have much more functions descriptions, but in vscode just one, if possible, hope to add more option in same function, sorry my poor English, you can see the image in flow.

shader support?

Does vscode-vex supports shader edit?
And I am wondering how to open vscode as external editor for shader editing
(modifying the houdini.env?)
thanks for the great plugin :)

Function / Variables Type

Would be great in autocopletition if was present an indication of the type of the data. string , int ...
for example in
xyzdist(geometry, origin, prim, uv) is not present the indication of the return variables &prim, &uv as in the original help, xyzdist(geometry, vector origin, int &prim, vector &uv)

Thanks melMass.

h19 Update

Will there be an update for h19?
