# Wurst extension for Visual Studio Code
This is a plugin for the [Wurst programming language](https://peq.github.io/WurstScript/), a language for maps and mods for the game Warcraft III.
If you run into problems related directly to the plugin, please create a ticket on [GitHub](https://github.com/wurstscript/wurst4vscode).
## Features
Context-aware auto completions (default shortcut: `Ctrl+space`) help you to find relevant functions quickly.
You can also see the documentation of the function and the required arguments.
You can always find the definition of a function (`F12` or `Ctrl+leftclick`, or just peek at the definition with `Ctrl+Shift+F10`).
It is even possible to navigate into the other direction and find all the references of a given definition (`Shift+F12`).
When navigating via links, remember that vscode provides shortcuts to get to your old position (`ctrl+alt+-` and `ctrl+shift+-`).
When you are looking for references inside a file you don't even need to use the features above.
Vscode will automatically highlight all other references and definitions related to the element currently under the cursor:
### Feature list:
* Syntax highlighting
* Shows errors and warnings while you type (press `Ctrl+Shift+M` for an overview over all errors and warnings, `F8` and `Shift+F8` to loop through the errors in the current file)
* Autocomplete after typing a dot or pressing `Ctrl+space`.
* Parameter-info (press `Ctrl+shift+space`)
* Goto declaration (`F12` or `Ctrl+leftclick`)
* Find references (`Shift+F12`)
* Mouse hover info (hover the mouse over a function or variable to see types and documentation)
* Some commands are available via the command palette (press `F1` and type "Wurst")
* Running units tests
* Building maps independently from warcraft3
* Running a map
You should also be aware of the following vscode features, which are independent from this Wurst plugin:
* Folding based on indentation
* Quick Open: Open any file by its name via `Ctrl+P`
* Search across files (`Ctrl+Shift+F`)
* [Multiple selections](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/editingevolved#_multiple-selections)
* Integrated Git support
