Behave Gherkin VSC Support 🥒🐍

VS Code extension that adds first-class support for Behave (Python) + Gherkin feature files.

This extension helps you navigate, validate, and author Gherkin steps faster by intelligently linking .feature files with Behave step definitions.

✨ Features

• Go to Step Definition from any Gherkin step (F12 or right-click)
• Works with:
  • Parameters ("{param}", numbers, snake_case values)
  • Quoted and unquoted arguments
