Lean for VS Code

This extension adds support for Lean.

Features

We currently support a variety of features.

  • Automatic installation of Lean via elan
  • Incremental compilation and checking via the Lean server
  • Hover shows documentation, types, and Unicode input help
  • Auto-completion based on context and type via the Lean server
  • Error messages / diagnostics
  • Customizable Unicode input support (e.g. type \la+tab to input λ)
  • Info view window to show goal, tactic state, and error messages (ctrl+shift+enter for local goal view or ctrl+shift+alt+enter for all messages)
  • Batch file execution
  • Search for declarations in open files (ctrl+p #)
  • Region of interest checking (i.e. control how much of the project is checked automatically by Lean)
  • Fill in {! !} holes using ctrl+.
  • Tasks for leanpkg (ctrl+shift+p and select "Tasks: Configure Task")
  • Tactic state filtering with regex
  • Type of the term under the cursor can be displayed in the status bar

Requirements

This extension requires an installation of Lean. As of version 0.12.1, the extension can install Lean for you using elan.

On Windows, if you installed Lean using MSYS2, you need to add both C:\msys64\mingw64\bin (or wherever you installed MSYS2) and C:\projects\lean\bin (or wherever you installed Lean) to the system PATH environment variable. To do this, press Win+Pause > go to Advanced System Settings > go to Environment variables. Under system variables (not user variables) find the Path variable, and add these two folders.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings (for a complete list, open the VS Code Settings and scroll to "Lean configuration"):

  • lean.executablePath: controls which Lean executable is used when starting the server. If you are bundling Lean and vscode-lean with Portable mode VS Code, you might find it useful to specify a relative path to Lean. This can be done by starting this setting string with %extensionPath%; the extension will replace this with the absolute path of the extension folder. For example, with the default directory setup in Portable mode, %extensionPath%/../../../lean will point to lean in the same folder as the VS Code executable / application.
  • lean.leanpkgPath: controls which leanpkg executable is used for leanpkg task integration. The %extensionPath% token can be used here as well.
  • lean.timeLimit: controls the -T flag passed to the Lean executable
  • lean.memoryLimit: controls the -M flag passed to the Lean executable
  • lean.roiModeDefault: controls the default region of interest, the options are:
    • nothing: check nothing
    • visible: check only visible files
    • open: check all open files
    • project: check the entire project's files
  • lean.input.leader: character to type to trigger Unicode input mode (\ by default)
  • lean.input.languages: allows the Unicode input functionality to be used in other languages
  • lean.input.customTranslations: add additional input Unicode translations. Example: {"foo": "☺"} will correct \foo to ☺ (assuming the lean.input.leader has its default value \).
  • lean.infoViewAutoOpen: controls whether the info view is automatically displayed when the Lean extension is activated (true by default).
  • lean.infoViewTacticStateFilters: An array of objects containing regular expression strings that can be used to filter (positively or negatively) the tactic state in the info view. Set to an empty array [] to hide the filter select dropdown. Each object must contain the following keys:
    • regex is a properly-escaped regex string,
    • match is a boolean, where true (false) means blocks in the tactic state matching regex will be included (excluded) in the info view,
    • flags are additional flags passed to the JavaScript RegExp constructor.
    • The name key is optional and may contain a string that is displayed in the dropdown instead of the full regex details.
  • lean.infoViewFilterIndex: index of the filter applied to the tactic state (in the array lean.infoViewTacticStateFilters). An index of -1 means no filter is applied.
  • lean.typeInStatusBar: controls whether the type of the term under the cursor is displayed as a status bar item (true by default).
  • lean.typesInCompletionList: controls whether the types of all items in the list of completions are displayed. By default, only the type of the highlighted item is shown.

It also contributes the following commands, which can be bound to keys if desired:

  • lean.input.convert: converts the current Unicode abbreviation (bound to tab by default)
  • lean.infoView.displayGoal: show the tactic state and any messages (e.g. info, warning, error) at the current position in the info view window (bound to ctrl+shift+enter by default)
  • lean.infoView.displayList: show all messages for the current file from Lean in the info view window (bound to ctrl+shift+alt+enter by default)
  • lean.infoView.copyToComment: copy the current contents of the info view into a new comment on the next line
  • lean.infoView.toggleUpdating: pause / continue live updates of the info view
  • lean.roiMode.select: select the region of interest (files to be checked by the Lean server)
  • lean.batchExecute: execute the current file using Lean (bound to ctrl+shift+r by default)

Other potentially helpful settings

  • Fonts with good Unicode support: "editor.fontFamily": "Source Code Pro Medium, DejaVu Sans Mono". Note that for this configuration to work properly, both fonts must be specified in this order (so that characters that are not available in Source Code Pro are rendered using DejaVu Sans Mono).
  • By default, VS Code will complete then to has_bind.and_then when you press enter. To disable this behavior, set "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false
  • If you like colored brackets, try out Bracket Pair Colorizer 2.

Development

  • Install npm (and for Ubuntu 17.04 nodejs-legacy)
  • Install code from http://code.visualstudio.com
  • Run git clone https://github.com/leanprover/vscode-lean
  • Run npm install in the vscode-lean directory
  • Install the TSLint extension for vscode
  • Open the vscode-lean directory in VS Code and start developing (F5 starts the debugger)
