q for Visual Studio Code

This package is just for personal study on jshinonome's vscode-q extension. Please download his official version :

kdb+/q ext

Following is the original documentation

Original Git

This extension adds syntaxes for the q language to VS Code. Recommend to use theme dracula/visual-studio-code. See the Changelog to know what has changed over the last few versions of this extension.

Server Explorer

All q servers list in the q Server Explorer, and it is easy to switch to different server.

Query Console(default)

Output just like q console to output channel. The console size is set to the same as q console. Use system "c rows columns" to change console size. Call kdb+/q ext: Toggle query mode to switch Query View.

Query View

The query view is only optimized for querying table, and first run doesn't show table correctly. From the second run, table view should be normal. At least, you can send query to server now. Call kdb+/q ext: Toggle query mode to switch Query Console.

Highlight Comments

Highlight @p,@r in comments, p stands for param, r stands for return.

Semantic Highlight

Highlight parameters for functions. There shouldn't be any space between { and [.

Formatter

Append space to },],) by formatting the file. Turn on Editor: Format On Save to automatically append space.
