Workspace Activity Bar

The activity bar added by the extension provides access to essential folders and limited tools required for SenseTalk development. Use the activity bar icons to navigate through the workspace and access different functionalities.

Syntax Highlighting

As you open or create SenseTalk files (.script or .suite files) in Visual Studio Code, the extension automatically applies syntax highlighting to make the code more readable. This feature helps you quickly identify and understand different code elements, such as keywords, variables, and comments.

Code Snippets

To use the pre-defined code snippets for SenseTalk, start typing the prefix of a snippet and let the extension's IntelliSense feature suggest matching snippets. You can then select the desired snippet from the suggestion list, and it will be inserted into your code. Alternatively, you can manually trigger code snippets by using the editor's code completion feature.

Autofill for SenseTalk Elements

The extension provides autofill functionality for SenseTalk language elements. When you start typing a SenseTalk keyword, variable, or comment, the extension will suggest completions based on context and previous usage. Use the suggested completions to speed up your coding process and reduce the chances of typographical errors.
