godot-vscode-plugin VS yasnippet

Hi, I've created a plugin that replicates the functionality of the godot-vscode plugin for viewing documentation with the LSP server. You can customize it to open documentation in different types of views (tabs, split, floating).

Found this for next time you need to try GDscript on vscode https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin

I downloaded VSCode and installed the official add-on. Initially I had an error connecting the language server, but I corrected the remote port number and it connected. Then I tried to refactor some function or variable, but I get the message "No refactorings available". Also, an attempt to switch to a custom method from another script (CTRL + LMB) either does not give anything, or if there is a variable with the same name in the same script, it issues it.

Found a fix for the syntax highlighting. It's a bug caused by conflicts with another extension (jjkim.gdscript). Disabling/uninstalling the other extension fixed the problem.

Debugging is not yet functional I think, https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/pull/400

Yeah, seems like that's the case. There's additional_options added already, however it's not included in the latest stable release. But you can download the development build and install it in the VS Code instead (Extensions: Install from VSIX command). Then adding "additional_options": "--position 0,0", worked for me, just tested it.

There's YASnippet, which could be used in much the same way as the tools that were described.

Although the Org manual says that YASnippet doesn’t play well, I personally haven’t had any issues. Maybe I’ve just been lucky? But I do have a snippet that uses the format command to create an Org inactive timestamp. Just a thought.

For the first question, I would look into a template system like Yasnippet or tempo. I think that’s the best approach for it, and I’m not sure if you can do it with completion methods like corfu

I second yasnippet, it is extremely handy for all sorts of boilerplate (like LaTeX preambles, environments). There are many contributed snippets in the yasnippet-snippets repo that you can look at as examples.

Hmmm... Maybe yasnippet?

(defun whatacold/yasnippet-exit-hook () "My yasnippet exit hook." (when (or (eq major-mode 'c-mode) (eq major-mode 'c++-mode)) (whatacold/yasnippet-exit-hook-c))) ;; see https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet/issues/728 ;; (after! c-or-c++-mode) ;;

Yasnippet might work. It's mostly used for programming related expansion, but I see no reason it wouldn't work for this too: https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet

Ah the code generation in the gif is from a plugin (Yasnippet) for the main editor I'm using (Emacs) to write GDScript. So not the built-in editor in Godot, no. The only bits I wrote is what keys expand into what on top of the snippet language, but they're just dumb text expansions and are unaware of any language specific context, e.g. this is the map one:
