FoxPro Language Support
Visual FoxPro language support focused on "Go to Definition" for common declaration patterns.
Features
- Associates the
foxpro language with .prg, .h, .spr, .mnx, .sc2, and .vc2 files.
- Indexes
FUNCTION, PROCEDURE, DEFINE CLASS, and PROCEDURE class.method declarations across the workspace.
- Provides Go to Definition (F12 / Ctrl+Click) for function, procedure, and class member names.
- Refreshes the index on file saves, edits, and file system changes.
- Configurable file size limits, exclude patterns, and logging levels for performance tuning.
Usage
- Open a workspace containing FoxPro sources.
- Place the cursor on a function, procedure, or class method reference and press F12 (or Ctrl+Click) to jump to its declaration.
- The index builds automatically and updates as you edit files.
Commands
- Gofox: Reindex Workspace � Manually rebuild the index for all FoxPro files.
- Gofox: Open Logs � Show the Gofox output channel for diagnostics.

Class.Method pair.

excludeGlobs to skip build outputs, dependencies, or other irrelevant folders.
