CS2 Config Support for Visual Studio Code

Syntax highlighting and IntelliSense for Counter-Strike 2 .cfg files. Recognizes all ConVars & ConCommands (hopefully) as of CS2 Build 25640462.

Partial backward compatibility with CS:GO .cfg files.

Installation

Search CS2 Config Support in the VS Code Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X) or install directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Setup

The extension activates automatically when you open a .cfg file. If it doesn't:

1. Open a .cfg file
2. Click the language indicator in the bottom-right corner
3. Select Configure File Association for '.cfg'...
4. Search and select CS2 Config

Alternatively, add this to your user settings (Ctrl+,):

Known Issues

• Some regex patterns are intentionally broad (e.g., r_) and may match more identifiers than intended.
• Most commands lack metadata (default value, flags, description) due to the sheer number of ConVars and ConCommands in CS2. Contributions are welcome.
