As a Sublime user - I was quite suprised when I tried VS Code and learned it couldn't do this.

Now, if only they improve highlighting. In sublime if you select variable - only variables with same name will be hightlighted. VS Code highlights all occurances of the said string. So if you have variable r for IO.Reader or something - al occurances of r will be highlighted.

Also a god send for Visual Basic developers doing their "End If", "End Function", not to mention "End Sub". :D

Exactly... Life's already hard enough on them as it is. :)

VB dev here:

We don't actually type those, Visual Studio adds them automatically when we hit enter.

But we appreciate the thought, and we're happy that Ruby is halfway there now :)

Exactly, regular Visual Studio has done this forever, but Visual Studio Code acted poorly on any language that uses words as block delimiters.

As someone who's done C# and VB for well over 10 years before Ruby I definitely miss a lot about regular Visual Studio. It's nice to see VS Code evolving into a solid alternative for non Windows users while staying light and lean at the same time.

No editor seems to handle ruby very well, why do I get an automatic closing bracket but no automatic end? I don't have to write a 1 char closing bracket why do I need to write a 3 char end?

You don't have to type "end". Shameless self plug: I wrote an extension that closes everything automatically, inspired by a plugin for vim with the same name: endwise[1]

It's not 100% done yet, support for other languages is still missing. But it works.

This is great! Really helps fill one of the most annoying gaps in writing Ruby compared to, say, C# in full Visual Studio.

Super handy, thanks for this!

Thank you!

Anyone have any idea what theme they use in the gif that demonstrates the ruby auto-indent feature?

I believe it's One Dark Pro: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zhuangto...

I've been using "Atom One Dark" which is also pretty similar

I'd also like to know the name of the theme in the "Manage your .gitignore file" section.
