MeTTa Language Support

This extension provides Syntax Auto-Formatting, Highlighting, Linting, Hovering for detail, Code Snippets, Folding and File-Icon for the MeTTa programming language.

Instructions

• Install the extension
• If your code base is only in MeTTa, Set Color Theme provided by the extension
• To change between themes press: CTR + SHIFT + P, search for color theme and click, then choose Dark Modern or Metta Theme.
• I don't recommend setting file icon theme provided by this extension since it currently doesn't support other file types other than MeTTa.

Features

• Document Auto-formatting for MeTTa files by pressing CTR + S or if auto-save mode is enabled it will auto-format your file
• Syntax highlighting for MeTTA language
• Hovering for more detail on keys
• Linting for Error handling
• Snippets to give you starter
• Folding to make you code cleaner
• Custom file icon for .metta files (I only added 1 icon for MeTTa. I will add others later if necessary)
• Simple Refactor with ctr + shift + R
• More Features will be added. You can also contribute for more features.
