Features

Error highlighting

Long gone are the days of switching back and forth between editor and console to locate errors. Errors are now highlighted directly on the editor, just hover the highlighted code to see the error message (as given by the compiler).

The extensions verifies files after every file save (not every file change as other extensions do).

Run in terminal

Run a FreeST file directly from the editor in VSCode's integrated terminal by right clicking it and selecting FreeST: Run.

Load into interpreter

Load a FreeST file directly into FreeST's interpreter (freesti) in VSCode's integrated terminal by right clicking it and selecting FreeST: Load into interpreter.

How to install

Because the extension depends on the freestlspserver executable, independently of your installation choice, you will have to install the aformentioned executable by hand. For this, you can either clone this git repository and follow its instructions, or download and run this script using ./install-lsp-server.
