  • Document outline — Outline / document symbols (arrays, dictionaries, procedures, strings, names, numbers) provided by the built-in PostScript Language Server.
  • Code snippets — Snippets for operators and errors.
  • Debugger — Run and debug PostScript with Ghostscript, with breakpoints, step operations, and debug console output.
