Snippets for common patterns (program skeleton, print, functions, if/else, loops)
Commands:
- VlaamsCodex: Run Plats File

Recommended: install VlaamsCodex so the plats executable is available.
- Example: pipx install vlaamscodex (or python -m pip install vlaamscodex)
If you don't want a global install, the extension can optionally bootstrap a private Python venv (see Settings).

vlaamscodex.platsPath (default: "plats") — path to the plats executable.
vlaamscodex.pythonPath — optional Python 3.10+ path, used as fallback (python -m vlaamscodex.cli ...).
vlaamscodex.runInTerminal (default: true) — run commands in an integrated terminal (Tasks) instead of the Output panel.
vlaamscodex.autoBootstrap (default: false) — allow the extension to create a private venv and install vlaamscodex automatically.
