While we where talking about the "braces tooltips" and coloring, I got to test another extension from the marketplace which has one feature that VA definitely should have:


Beats context info for braces (and "rainbow braces") by many lengths, allows for context marking, context selection, jump to begin/end, and much more.

If it wasnt for all the other clutter in this "not to be named" extension, I would just keep it.

Please add this to VA. Once you tried this feature you cant live without it.

They are interactive with the structure, not only informative. Seen imlemented like this in an extension available on the marketplace.


What's the name of this extension?

We are constantly working on both new features and bug fixes. VS2022 has been a big focus, and problems still crop up now and then. But I do understand, and new features are always something to look forward to.

Interesting. What extension precisely?
Indeed, we might be waiting a long time

At the risk of being cynical, the number of new feature additions has been on the decline for 2 or 3 years (since the VA Company was taken over?).

If only the number of new releases could equal the number of marketing emails I receive...

Interesting, I have added notes about this to our feature request for something similar. The idea has come up a few times over the years, and it is certainly something to look into and consider:

If you don't mind can you email me the link / name of the extension, and I can try it here? The idea is interesting, I am just trying to get a clearer sense of how much this adds.

Checking both VS2019 and VS2022, C++ and C#, the IDE is showing dotted lines indicating the indent level, and when you hover the mouse over the indent line, which is solid in this screen shot, you get a tooltip showing you the details of the surrounding scopes. This screen shot shows what I am seeing in C++ in VS2019:
