About

This plugin adds some useful feature into vscode. These features include:

• commonly used extension
• commonly used actions

Extensions

• vim "vscodevim.vim",
• gitlens "eamodio.gitlens",
• gitgraph "mhutchie.git-graph"

Added Actions

Tip: all the actions from this extension are prefixed with keyword olive. Afterall who doesn't like olive. Olive is delicious!

Open Workspace Snippest File

This opens the workspace snippets file.

Open in Vscode

This opens any folder in a separate Vscode instance.

• Select any folder inside Vscode's Explorer.
• Right click
• Press on "Olive - Open in Vscode"

Paste Escaped Snippets Body

This feature is not user friendly, but very helpful. When creating a snippet in vscode, there are special characters a dev needs to escape. Dollar sign for example, inside a snippet, needs to be escaped by putting before it a backslash.

This action does this escaping for you.

• Copy any text
• Go to the snippet body
• Paste using this action

The pasted body is escaped.

Switch File

Usually in modern frameworks, a dev is working on related files.

• In angular projects, one jumps frequently between .ts, .html and .css files.
• In flutter, if using BLOC patter, one jumps between .bloc, .page and .event files.
• In django, inside a singe app, one can jump between views.py, urls,py, ...

I once tried a Angular extension that does these shortcuts: alt + shift + [uiop]

So in left hand, press alt and shift. In right hand, either u, or i or o or p.

Very handful.

This needs more documentation, but these are some points.

This currently supports:

• angular
• django
• flutter Bloc

Extensions detects current app type based on key files known to be in each framework.

Shortcuts are alt + shift + one of these keys

• u
• i
• o
• p
• , <- usually the settings file

There are yet other keys not documented. Currently you can take it as-is, if it works it works.

This is still work in progress.
