VS Code language support for (e)Z80 TI-BASIC. Also used by github-linguist

language-ti-basic's Issues

Enhancement suggestion: intellisense

You don't have to add this if you don't want to, I just thought it would be a nice addition to the extension :)

Improve syntax highlighting

The extension doesn't handle my byte optimised program very well:

Easy problems:

• DelVar: is matched with (?<=[^a-z]|Ans)DelVar(?=[^a-zA-Z]|$) instead of (?<=[^a-z]|Ans|^)DelVar(?=[^a-zA-Z]|$)
• logical operations: are scoped as keyword.operator.8xp instead of keyword.operator.logical.8xp (or, and, not(), xor)

Harder problems:

• DelVar: instructions can be appended to a DelVar without using a colon
• implicit multiplication: variables and functions used in an implicit multiplication aren't highlighted

Use TI-Toolkit standard token representations

Heya,
As you know, we're trying to standardize textual token representations; TI-Toolkit strongly advocates for new tools to use the accessible token representations provided in https://github.com/TI-Toolkit/tokens/blob/main/8X.xml while we work behind-the-scenes on other community projects to integrate them.

It's currently unclear what token representations you're using- this is partially a call-to-action to use these new sheets and a request for information on what token representations you've chosen. I was pleasantly surprised to see this made it into linguist, congrats and great work!

Revamp tokens and add import / export support

Info

It would be a significant improvement to add import / export support to the extension, and no longer require the additional step of copying and pasting from SC3 or TI-Connect CE. Most likely would be done using tivars_lib_cpp.

Tasks

• Research way to make the feature fit in well with VS Code - use command palette.
• Change highlighting to match the token syntax here as opposed to SC3's
• Import / export TI-BASIC programs
