Core features (overview)

• Syntax highlighting for rq keywords, HTTP methods, attributes and interpolations.

• IntelliSense — autocomplete for variables, request names, environments, auth providers, object parameters, auth properties, attributes, and imports.
• Hover tooltips — inline summaries for rq, ep, env, and auth statements.
• Navigation — go to definition, find all references, and rename symbol across the workspace.
• Format document — format the current .rq file via the Format Document command (Shift+Alt+F on Windows/Linux, Shift+Option+F on macOS).
• Request Explorer sidebar to browse and run requests, with environment selection and run/run-with-variables actions.
• Configuration view — a dedicated sidebar view listing the environments and auth providers defined across your workspace.
• Response panel — view response status, headers, and formatted body; copy the body with one click.
• Integration with rq auth providers, including interactive OAuth flows (Authorization Code with PKCE and Implicit).
