PyScope - Python Code Block Highlighter 🎨🐍

Tired of losing track of your Python code blocks? Struggling to see where that if statement ends or where your def begins? Say hello to PyScope! 🚀

What is PyScope? 🤔

PyScope is your new best friend for writing Python code in VS Code. It highlights code blocks (like functions, loops, and conditionals) with beautiful background colors, making it super easy to see where each block starts and ends. No more squinting at indentation! 👀

Why Use PyScope? 🌟

• Visualize Python Blocks: See your def, if, for, and other blocks clearly with colorful highlights.
• No More Indentation Confusion: Never lose track of where a block ends, even in deeply nested code.
• Customizable Colors: Make it your own with customizable highlight colors. 🎨
• Lightweight & Fast: Works seamlessly without slowing down your editor. ⚡

How Does It Work? 🛠️

PyScope uses Python's indentation rules to dynamically detect code blocks. When you move your cursor, it highlights:

• The entire block (with a subtle background color).
• The first line (with a darker highlight).
• The last line (with a darker highlight).

It’s like having X-ray vision for your Python code! 👓

Features ✨

Dynamic Block Highlighting

PyScope automatically detects and highlights the code block your cursor is currently in. This works for all Python keywords.

Customizable Highlight Color

You can change the color of the highlighted blocks to match your theme or preference.

Using the pyScope.changeColor Command: Run the command from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and choose from a list of preset colors or select "Custom..." to open a color picker.

Customizable Highlight Opacity

You can also adjust the opacity of the block highlight and the first/last line highlight separately.

Using the pyScope.changeOpacity Command: Run the command from the command palette and choose which opacity setting you want to change. Then, enter a value between 0 and 1.

Block Selection

PyScope also allows you to select the entire code block with a single command.

Using the pyScope.selectBlock Command: Run the command from the command palette to select the current block. You can run it multiple times to select parent blocks in a nested structure.

Using the pyScope.undoBlockSelection Command: Run this command to undo the last block selection.
