Features

Syntax highlighting

Context-based suggestions

CTRL+SPACE may be used to provide suggestions. For example, typing inherit and pressing CTRL+SPACE provides the suggestion inherit kernel. Suggestions are context-based, only providing suggestions that apply to your specific layer configuration.

The following suggestions are currently supported:

• Keywords inherit, require, include and export
• Context-based suggestions for keywords inherit, require and include (provided by language-server)
• Context-based suggestions for all symbols within the include hierarchy

Go to definition

CTRL and click may be used to open the file associated with a class, inc-file, recipe or variable. If more than one definition exists, a list of definitions is provided.

The go to definition feature currently behaves as follows:

Definition	Target(s)
class or inc-file	file
recipe	recipe definition and all bbappends
symbol	all symbols within the include hierarchy
