## Common Issues

#### Where are the file icons?!

Click the Gear icon in the bottom left of VSCode, click "File Icon Theme" and then select GLua.

#### _Auto completion documentation isn't showing up!_

Press `CTRL + Space`

#### I'm not seeing globals or local variables

You may have the `editor.quickSuggestions` setting set to `false`.

## Bugs/Feature Requests

Please [open an issue](https://github.com/WilliamVenner/vscode-glua-enhanced/issues) to report bugs and suggest features.

## Recommended Companion Extensions

### [glualint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=goz3rr.vscode-glualint)

A GLua linter, powered by [FPtje's glualint](https://github.com/FPtje/GLuaFixer).

## gluadump

This extension uses the [gluadump](https://github.com/WilliamVenner/gluadump) addon to extract some information (e.g. `debug.getinfo` data for the "View Source" buttons) from Garry's Mod and may need to periodically be updated as new features and libraries are added to Garry's Mod.
