scvsc

scvsc is a SuperCollider extension for Visual Studio Code.

Highly inspired by Hadron, and took some code from vscode-supercollider. There's still a lot to learn from Hadron!

Features

• Starting sclang and scsynth from vscode
• Evaluating selected text
• Evaluating regions between parentheses ( )
• Hushing the server
• Highlight the lines that are being sent to be interpreted for like 2 seconds.

I've only tested this on MacOS.

Instructions

1. Install the scvsc extension
2. Install SuperCollider.
3. (optional) configure the location of your sclang instance in your vscode settings.json:
   • example: "supercollider.sclang.cmd": "/Applications/SuperCollider.app/Contents/MacOS/sclang",
4. The scvsc commands will be available in your vscode command palette, and you can map them to whatever keyboard shortcuts you like.
5. Alternatively, if you want to emulate the SCIDE keybindings, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Extensions -> scvsc and set "Use Scide Keybindings" to true.

Installing for development

1. Clone repository.
2. Run npm install in repo root at the command line.
3. Open extension.js in VSCode and press F5. Select the option to run the "Extension Development Host."
4. Open a .scd file. You may be prompted to install the HyperScope vscode extension, allow it. You will see an "sclang" indicator in the lower left.

Reasonable Future Improvements

• open up docs in browser
• make the status bar more informative / nicer looking

Hoop Dreams

• Auto-complete or suggestions
• use a language server or something or learn about language server in vscode
• open up docs directly in vscode? some kinda html renderer or something?
