VHDL by VHDLwhiz

VHDL support for Visual Studio Code

VHDL by VHDLwhiz is a fork of the puorc.awesome-vhdl plugin with altered snippets that conform to the VHDLwhiz coding style. It includes templates for VHDL modules, testbenches, and ModelSim DO scripts.

I've forked my favorite VHDL plugin to make it better. Save time by using this plugin to generate the initial project files for you!

VHDL snippets

When you type a snippet in a VHDL file and hit Enter, the plugin will generate template code for you. Then, use the Tab key to move the cursor to the next placeholder.
