Code definitions

Code completion

Additionally there is a support for a handful of shortcuts as well as a shortcut for section comments

Renumbering of line numbers

General

There is also a function which allows you to renumber existing line numbers.

When a selection was made only the selection will be renumbered otherwise the whole document will be renumbered.

Section comments

When using section comments it might be useful to increment the line numbers afterwards. This extension can do this for you.

To use this feature you first have to enable it in the settings. For that simply search for these two settings and modify them:

• gcode-helper.comments.sectionComments.incrementLineNumber
• gcode-helper.comments.sectionComments.incrementLineNumberBy

Support for BOSCH specific code

BOSCH has some quirks when it comes to g-code. For example the comparison with equal signs requires only one equal sign where as regular g-code uses two. This extension can also handle to most obvious syntax errors.
