🌈 Highlights similar variables on focus
It underlines variables with the same string (for now). Sublime does this by double-clicking a word but why do two if you can do one!
oooh but that is not "semantic".. - a wise man
Sure. Here are suggestions for you though.
- Use a different package
- Modify your color scheme file using Sublime's "Hashed Syntax Highlighting"
- use VS Code
- Install from
packagecontrol.ioor unpack the zip in your packages directory
-
Move your cursor to a variable using the following:
- Mouse 🖱
- Arrow keys ⌨
-
See colored underlines.
- See beautiful colors 🌈
- Lessens stress (especially when accompanied with ☕)
- Improve understanding of your co-worker's gibberish code 😒
- Easily see where that variable has been hiding 👀
-
semantic_highlighter_jump(ctrl+l,ctrl+j) Jump to the next variable in scope -
semantic_highlighter_edit(ctrl+l,ctrl+e) Edit all the similar variables in scope
The package comes with a customizable template color scheme that has 144 varying HSL representations. For now, I simply fetch a random number and match it.
The plugin will highlight symbols based on an analyzer. Since I cannot do every programming language, you can further improve variable detection by creating your own language analyzer.
For a quick intro, the analyzer class has a getBlockScope method that should return one of the following:
- A scope name string of the block the symbol belongs to
Noneif the selection is a valid symbol but does not belong to any blocks (i.e. global variable)Falseif the selection is not a valid symbol
To understand how "scopes" work, check out the following links:
- A generic fallback analyzer
- Python
- PHP
- Javascript
- Vue
