Cpp Reference - VS Code Extension

This extension is inspired by Cpp Reference and Documentation.

This is a tool to browse cppreference.com from within vscode, instead of going to the browser to do so. You can use this extension to search for library and methods documentation of the C++ standard.

Usage

Set your cursor position onto the word you want search for, then press Ctrl+Shift+A on Linux/Windows or Command+Shift+A on macOS.

You can also search manually by opening Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P, Command+Shift+P) and execute command Cpp Reference: Search manually.

Warning Only pages in "C++" part (not "C" part) will be indexed and shown in search results.

Settings

`cppref.lang`

Choose the language of online version cppreference.com. For example, use zh for Chinese version of cppreference.com.

`cppref.alternative.enabled`

Switch this on to use an alternative version of cppreference.com. You should input a URL for it, see below:

`cppref.alternative.url`

The base URL for alternative version of cppreference.com. For example, https://guyutongxue.gitee.io/cppref/zh/ is easier to visit for some Chinese users.

`cppref.invertColorInDarkTheme`

When using vscode's Dark Theme or Dark High Contrast Theme, invert the page's color.

Warning: This feature is implemented using CSS filter and may result in sharper text edges, making it difficult to read.

About indexing

Repo Guyutongxue/cppreference-index stores code for generating search index.
