Kip Visual Studio Code Extension

Visual Studio Code support for the Kip programming language, powered by kip-lsp.

Features

• Syntax highlighting
• Procedural type highlighting (local, no semantic tokens)
• Diagnostics (parse/typecheck)
• Hover and signatures
• Go to definition and type definition
• Basic completions (identifier/type/function suggestions)

Requirements

• Install kip-lsp. The extension auto-detects common install paths (~/.local/bin, ~/.cabal/bin, ~/.stack/bin), or you can set kip.languageServerPath explicitly.

Setup

If Visual Studio Code cannot find kip-lsp, set this in settings:

{
  "kip.languageServerPath": "/absolute/path/to/kip-lsp"
}

Extension Settings

• kip.languageServerPath: path to kip-lsp (default: kip-lsp)
• kip.languageServerArgs: additional arguments passed to kip-lsp
• kip.trace.server: LSP trace level (off, messages, verbose)
• kip.proceduralTypeHighlight.enabled: enable local procedural type coloring
• kip.proceduralTypeHighlight.maxDocumentChars: file-size guard for procedural highlighting

Commands

• Kip: Show Output
• Kip: Go to Type Definition
