General use:

The snippets attached to the Extension can be used when starting to write code or with the Ctrl+Space shortcut. All snippets are read from json files in the snippets/ folder. During use, you will come across several options:

The options that will appear with the wrk: prefix represent Custom Tags.

The options that will appear with the wsub: prefix represent the parameters that can be used for Custom Tags.

o    You don't need to use wsub to see parameters in Custom Tag.

o    Instead, you can use the Ctrl+Shift+Space shortcut in the Custom Tag.

o   For Example:

As in the example above; When you use the Ctrl+Shift+Space shortcut between the > sign, you can see the parameters available for cf_box.

The ones that start with the wdata: prefix are workdata. It allows you to add the necessary CreateObject command for the workdata you will use.

For the name parameter of the Custom Tag, the combo_name:list snippet can be used when using workdata names.

Development:

To develop in the Extension, you need to edit the vscode\workcube-extension folder.

Before making any changes, you should review the snippets/*_instruction.txt file for the file you will change.
