FoxPro Language Support
Visual FoxPro language support with advanced IDE features including navigation, refactoring, formatting, and diagnostics.
✨ Features
Navigation & Intelligence
- Go to Definition (F12 / Ctrl+Click) - Jump to function, procedure, and class member declarations
- Find All References - Locate all usages of symbols across the workspace
- Document Symbols - Outline view for classes, methods, and functions
- Workspace Symbols (Ctrl+T) - Quick search across all indexed symbols
- Hover Information - Shows symbol kind, name, and location
Code Quality
- Diagnostics & Linting - Real-time detection of:
- Unclosed structures (IF, FOR, WHILE, TRY, DEFINE CLASS, etc.)
- Unmatched parentheses
- Context-aware keyword validation (distinguishes SQL functions from control structures)
- Code Actions - Quick fixes for common issues:
- Close unclosed structures
- Remove duplicate parameters
- Add missing LOCAL declarations
- Rename Symbol (F2) - Safe rename with validation
- Code Formatting - Smart indentation with configurable tab size
- Code Folding - Collapse/expand classes, functions, and control structures
File Support
.prg, .h, .spr, .mnx, .sc2, .vc2 files- Automatic encoding detection (UTF-8, Windows-1252, Latin1)
🚀 Usage
- Open a workspace containing FoxPro sources
- The extension automatically indexes your codebase
- Use F12 to navigate, F2 to rename, Shift+Alt+F to format

📝 Notes
- Case-insensitive matching for all symbols
- Context-aware diagnostics (e.g., distinguishes
IF() SQL function from IF statement)
- Smart reference detection excludes definitions from results
- Handles VFP-specific patterns:
TEXT TO...ENDTEXT, continuation with ;, etc.
