MVVS: MV Basic for Visual Studio

    Some things I'd like to see.

    1. Ability to manage (view/edit/git) MV source that exists in hashed files - VOC, Dicts, etc. (maybe like the SQLTools extension).
    2. Code folding support.
      • Option to format document so auto code block folding works. eg PROGRAM/SUBROUTINE, labels and RETURNs are hard left, comments and everything else indented to a minimum of the default margin, etc.
      • Fix use of code folding markers [this can be manually set but something is interfering]. Set default markers - eg !!#region...!!#endregion
    3. Addon for xterm.js (vscode shell and ssh emulator) to support [some] SB+ character mode customisations (term type 2).
    4. Open the extension repo to GitHub.

    Hey Stuart,

    Great list here. If you happen to have AccuTerm, Pete's host programs include a connector to VS Code that solves #1 for you though only as it pertains to the original foss MV Basic plugin. That would also open up the doors on #4 for you. No real reason why you couldn't mix and match extensions that I can think of.

    Hi Stuart,
    Thanks for the list.  I'll add them to the roadmap and keep you posted on when the items are available.  Also, see Mike Wright's comments about item 1 and 4.
