KEPLang for Visual Studio Code

Syntax highlighting, snippets and .kep file icons for KEPLang, a programming language with keywords from the Khorezm dialect of Uzbek.

Supports the implemented KEPLang 0.3.1 syntax. Keywords proposed for future language releases are not advertised as supported features.

O‘rnatish / Installation

In VS Code, open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for KEPLang and install the extension by KEPLang. Then open a .kep file. The status bar should show KEPLang. An existing file can also be switched through Change Language Mode → KEPLang.

For an offline installation, choose … → Install from VSIX… and select keplang-0.1.0.vsix.

code --install-extension keplang.keplang

The VSIX works locally without a Marketplace account. This package is not a compiler, debugger, formatter or language server; use the KEPLang CLI to check and execute programs.

Highlighting and editing

Constructs: agar … bosa, bomasa, to … bolincha, aylan, shundat, qaytar, toxta, davom at.
Types: son, matn, mantiq, lugat<K, V>, toplam<K> and scalar arrays.
Built-ins: uqi, uqi_soz, uqi_satr, chiqar, uzunligi, sarala, qosh, bomi, uchir, qiymat.
Existing source aliases (al, al_soz, al_satr, toki) are highlighted. New snippets use the canonical names.
// comments, supported string escapes, signed integer literals, ranges, functions and brackets use standard TextMate scopes with the selected color theme.
Ctrl+/ toggles comments. Brackets/quotes pair automatically; braces indent blocks. // #region and // #endregion mark foldable regions.

Type kep-main, agar, agar-bomasa, to, aylan, shundat, massiv, lugat, toplam, uqi, uqi_soz, uqi_satr, chiqar or davom and select the snippet from completion suggestions. shundat-void inserts a function without a return type. Enable Editor: Tab Completion if Tab expansion is desired.

shundat ekub(son a, son b) -> son {
    to b != 0 bolincha {
        son qoldiq = a % b;
        a = b;
        b = qoldiq;
    }
    qaytar a;
}

son a = uqi();
son b = uqi();
chiqar(ekub(a, b));

KEPLang branding

The extension icon and .kep file marks reuse the KEPLang website logo: cream/cyan on dark surfaces and deep teal on light surfaces.

Most file icon themes display the language icon automatically. A theme may override or disable language icons. For guaranteed .kep branding, choose Preferences: File Icon Theme → KEPLang File Icons. This optional theme uses neutral icons for other files/folders. Installing the extension does not change the current color or file icon theme.

Development

From editors/vscode, with Node.js 22 or newer:

npm ci
npm test
npm run test:editor
npm run package

The VSIX is written to dist/keplang-0.1.0.vsix. Test dependencies, development scripts and editor test downloads are excluded from the package. There is no extension activation script, network client or bundled executable.

npm run build:icons regenerates the committed branding assets from web/assets/keplang.svg. The editor test downloads an isolated official VS Code build and uses a temporary profile, leaving the user's installed editor unchanged.

Building the VSIX and running CI do not publish a release. Maintainers upload the verified package through the Visual Studio Marketplace publisher portal.
