About this project

Region Helper is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to enhance code navigation and management when working with regions. With features like diagnostics for unmatched boundaries and an interactive Full Outline view, this tool streamlines the experience of working with structured code, making development more efficient.

The vscode-region-helper is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to enhance the navigation, visualization, and management of code regions within files. This powerful tool offers features such as an interactive Regions View for easy navigation, a Full Outline View that integrates code regions and symbols into a unified tree structure, and robust Diagnostics to identify unmatched region boundaries, ensuring that code structure remains intact.

Key Features

Regions View: A structured tree view displaying all regions in the active file, automatically highlighting the current region for quick navigation.
Full Outline View: Combines regions with language symbols, facilitating instant navigation to any section of the code.
Region Diagnostics: Provides real-time detection of unmatched region boundaries with visual cues in the editor.
Quick Navigation: Utilize commands to swiftly jump to, search, and select regions within the file.

Detailed Features

Regions View: Automatically highlights the active region and enables direct navigation by clicking.
Full Outline View: Offers clickable access to both regions and symbols with auto-revealing features.
Region Diagnostics: Identifies problems with unmatched areas, supported by visual alerts in the Problems panel.
Commands for Navigation: Includes fuzzy search capabilities to jump directly to any region with ease, and keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation.
Customization: Supports nearly 50 programming languages and allows custom region patterns to adapt to specific coding styles.
Extension API: Provides an API for building region-aware tools without needing extensive file-parsing logic.

Settings

The extension allows customization of views, toggling auto-highlighting, and defining custom region patterns to fit individual workflows. This flexibility ensures that the tool adapts to various coding styles and preferences, making code management simpler and more efficient.

Known Limitations

Currently, the feature for jumping to regions supports only camelCase matching due to API limitations, and tree views always highlight the last active item, even outside regions or symbols.
