Mark's TCL extension

A simple VS Code extension for Tcl that makes day-to-day editing easier.

What it does

• Go To Definition (F12) for proc and method
• Hover info for variables and procedures
• Completions + snippets for common Tcl patterns
• Signature help while typing calls
• Semantic highlighting for:
  • variables like $name
  • dict command parts (dict, create, get, etc.)
  • dict keys and values (with different token types)
• Syntax checking (local tclsh or remote service)
• Quick Fix suggestions for common syntax issues (missing }, ], or ")

Quick start

1. Open any .tcl file in VS Code.
2. Use F12 on a proc/method call.
3. Try typing and use completion/signature help.
4. If syntax errors show up, use Quick Fix (Cmd+.) for suggested fixes.
