Other Requests

• ✔️ The Outliner (Document Symbols)
• ❌ A "formatter" that supports "on type" so that it capitalises, at least, function names correctly as you type
  • Currently collecting "rules" to be implemented
  • Linting Rules
• ⚠️ Code diagnostics and "quick fixes" (when using TypeScript just write any function and the LSP goes "I don't know this function, but I found it in , do you want me to import it?" It even looks for functions from "modules)
  • ⚠️ Experimental
• ❌ Add an option to not show the prefix in the outline view. For example a method called "Convert" would not be displayed as "Method Convert()", but simply as "Convert()" - GWRon
  • Will make this an option to hide all prefixes ❌
    • Added argument -o:notype in preparation for this
• ❌ id say "constructor" is better than "method" but "new" alone would also be enough, same with "delete" FireballStarfish
  • Will make this an option to hide "Constructor"/"Destructor" prefixes. ❌
    • Added argument -o:desc in preparation for this
