Intellisense to Local/Global vars

[DBenS]

Just a suggestion: Intellisense doesn't reference global/local variables from the code and I think it's very useful when our code has a lot of them.

Would it be possible to have the same behavior as the MT5 editor, with these variables appearing after the second or third letter typed? I mean, the same feature shown with MQL5 functions, but with our own variables.

And congratulations to all of you for this excellent work!

I've put all my globals in an globals.mqh file. Would be nice if we could include that in the settings.json and add it to intellisense

@L-I-V I am not proficient in VSC-Extensiondevelopment so I asked AI. Could this be a solution for adding some path/files to intellisense?

function ItemProvider() {

function ItemProvider() {
    return {
        provideCompletionItems(document, position) {
            const loclang = language === 'zh-tw' ? 'zh-cn' : language,
                path = vscode.Uri.file(pathModule.join(__dirname, '../', 'images', 'mql_icon_mini.png')),
                range = document.getWordRangeAtPosition(position),
                prefix = document.getText(range),
                regEx = new RegExp(prefix, 'i');

            // Add suggestions for a specific file
            const filesIntellisense = getFilesIntellisense(prefix);

            // Combine file items with existing items
            const allItems = [...filesIntellisense, ...Object.values(obj_items).filter(name => name.label.substring(0, prefix.length).match(regEx))];

            return allItems.map(match => {
                const item = new vscode.CompletionItem(match.label, match.group);
                item.insertText = new vscode.SnippetString(match.body);
                item.detail = match.description[loclang] ? match.description[loclang] : match.description.en;
                const contents = new vscode.MarkdownString();
                contents.appendCodeblock(match.code.map(match => match.label)[0]);
                if (match.group === 15) {
                    if (match.label in colorW) {
                        let clrRGB = colorW[match.label].split(',');                          
                        contents.appendMarkdown(
                            `<span style="background-color:#${rgbaToHex(+clrRGB[0], +clrRGB[1], +clrRGB[2])};">${Array.from({length: 55}, () => '&nbsp;').join('')}</span><br>\n`);
                        contents.supportHtml = true;
                    }
                }
                contents.appendMarkdown(`![](${path})`);
                item.documentation = contents;
                return item;
            });
        }
    }
}

function getFilesIntellisense(prefix) {
    const config = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration();
    const fileItems = config.get('mql_tools.filesIntellisense', []);

    const regEx = new RegExp(prefix, 'i');
    return fileItems.filter(item => item.label.substring(0, prefix.length).match(regEx));
