AutoIt

Syntax highlighting for AutoIt3, with partial IntelliSense.

Features

• AutoIt3 syntax highlighting, including DocBlock comments and legacy UDF documentation headers, plus code within Execute string literals
• AutoIt3 IntelliSense, resolving declarations across #include files, the AutoIt3 installation include directory and user defined library directories:
  • Completion suggestions for keywords, macros, built-in functions, variables, user defined functions, preprocessor directives and snippets
  • Hover information with function/variable DocBlock and legacy UDF header support, scope information (local/global) and colored function signatures. DocBlocks use a phpDocumentor-style comment format with a summary, description and tags like @param, @return, @see and @link
  • Function signature help
  • Go to definition / peek, showing all matching declarations across scopes and included files (toggleable)
  • Find all references
  • Document highlight
  • Document symbols
• Diagnostics for syntax errors, unresolvable #include statements and syntax errors inside Execute string literals
• Document links for #include statements
• Snippets for UDF DocBlock comments, function declarations, loops and more
• Workspace indexing of AutoIt3 scripts on startup with progress indication, and file watching for created/changed/deleted files
• Runs in web (vscode.dev)
