About this extension
If you are used to using a full fledged Code Editor, then you will have had bad experiences with Code Expert, there's a distinct lack of customization and language support. That's what this Add-on intends to fix.

Currently it supports these features:
  • Keybindings: allows you to use different default keybindings, for example Vim and VSCode
  • Options
    • Click link to go to file: If you compile a C++ file and get a compilation error, you can Click on the file location in the Terminal and it will take you right to the Location of the error
    • Fix scrollbar in Firefox: Code-Expert has an annoying bug in Firefox where the page is 50000 pixels wide, which adds an annoying scrollbar, this option fixes that
    • Parse and Display Errors: If you compile a C++ file it will read the Output in the Terminal and add Error Markers inside the File
    • Make FileTree Navigable: If you focus the FileTree, you can use your arrow keys (or hjkl if you have Vim mode enabled) to naviate the File Structure
  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
    • Compile: Opens the Terminal and hits the Compile button (if available)
    • Run: Opens the Terminal and hits the Run button
    • Run Tests: Opens the Terminal and hits the Test button
    • Format File: Uses either Ace of (if configured) an LSP to Format the current file
    • Comment selection: Toggles the comments in the selected Lines
    • Next Suggestion: Goes to the next Suggestion in Autocomplete (useful for Vim Mode)
    • Previous Suggestion: Goes to the previous Suggestion in Autocomplete (useful for Vim Mode)
    • Focus shortcuts: Focuses different parts of the editor

Advanced, if you have the time and will to try and setup a Native Executable, you can also run an LSP and get these features:
  • Auto Complete: Actually useful Auto Complete
  • Code Diagnostics: Shows you Errors and Warnings before you hit compile
  • Hover Diagnostics: Tells you everything about a Symbol when you hover over it
  • Formatting: Improved formatting
