C# Smart Semicolon
When you type ; inside parentheses in C#, it moves to the end of the statement, like Rider does.
Debug.Log(Foo(bar|)) // type ';'
Debug.Log(Foo(bar));| // the semicolon and the cursor jump to the end
Foo(bar|) // comment // type ';'
Foo(bar);| // comment // trailing comments stay after it
Foo(|); // type ';'
Foo();| // no duplicate semicolon, the cursor just moves
A single Ctrl+Z undoes the semicolon.
When the semicolon stays where it was typed
- Outside parentheses:
x = 1;
- Inside a
for (...; ...; ...) header.
- Inside strings and char literals (including verbatim and interpolated strings):
Log("a;b")
- Inside comments.
How it works
The extension watches edits in C# documents. When a single ; is typed with one cursor, it scans the line up to the cursor, skipping strings and comments, to find unclosed (. If there is one, it removes the typed ; and inserts it after the last code character of the line, before any trailing whitespace or comment.
Requirements
None. The extension works on the text alone and does not need a language server.
- C# Auto Parens: adds
() when accepting a method from the completion list.
- C# Auto Suggest: opens the completion list as soon as you start typing an identifier.
Development
npm install
npm test # compile, then run the unit and integration tests
npm run package # build the .vsix
The integration tests download a separate copy of VS Code into .vscode-test/ and run inside it.
