    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.
