Quick-Properties Visual Studio Code Extension

Quick-Properties is a Visual Studio Code extension specifically designed for working with .properties files. It enhances your productivity by providing features to help you navigate, explore, and modify properties within your workspace.

Features

Property Declarations and Usages Hover

When you hover over a property within a .properties file, Quick-Properties displays a popup with detailed information about the property, including all its declarations and usages within the workspace. This feature allows you to quickly gain insights into how a property is being used in different files.

Jump to Declaration or Usage

Quick-Properties allows you to seamlessly navigate between property declarations and usages. Within the hover popup, you can find links that let you jump directly to the declaration or usage of a property. This feature saves you time and effort when exploring and understanding your property files.

Rename Property with Global Changes

Modifying property names can be a tedious and error-prone task, especially when you need to update multiple occurrences. Quick-Properties simplifies this process by providing a rename functionality that automatically applies changes to all property declarations and usages throughout the workspace. This ensures consistency and accuracy in your project.
