Syntax Support

Is there a way to play/stop setting up some shortcuts?

Is there a way to play/stop setting up some shortcuts?

Opening the command palette and typing does not seems to be the best way for Live Performances. And using the "Recently Used" VS Code Editor shortcuts makes difficult when you are constantly switching between STOP/PLAY.

suggestion: flash when evaluate codes

When evaluate codes from Sonic Pi IDE, screen flash.
I think it's cool that this extension has same function.

In the case code's comment include multibyte charset, running code failed

In the case code's comment include multibyte charset,

when running code I got error message from sonic-pi.

Runtime Error: [buffer eval, line 777] - ArgumentError
 invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/app/server/ruby/lib/sonicpi/preparser.rb:25:in `gsub!'
/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/app/server/ruby/lib/sonicpi/preparser.rb:25:in `block in preparse'
/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/app/server/ruby/lib/sonicpi/preparser.rb:22:in `each'

/Applications/Sonic Pi.app/app/server/ruby/lib/sonicpi/runtime.rb:777:in `block in __spider_eval'

In sonic-pi, when sending code call force_encoding.
https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/blob/master/app/server/ruby/bin/sonic-pi-server.rb#L333

code = args[1].force_encoding("utf-8")

So, I add utf-8 encoding in the extension, and send a pull request.

Best regards.

Question : commands to stop , to reload ?

Hi,

is there a command to stop within vscode ?

Write CHANGELOG

suggestion: add restart command

when i select "run code on sonic-pi" it play it over currently played.
to avoid it I have to select "stop all sound on sonic-pi" then "run code on sonic-pi", each time.

It could be useful to have a "stop all and run code on sonic-pi" command

Latest SPdev no longer uses port 4557

Recent changes to the source code of SP means that the previous port 4557 is now dynamically allocated at run time, so communicating to port 4557 no longer will work.
FWIW I have looked at the same problem with sonic-pi-cli gem and I have developed a mechanism to detect the dynamic port in use by reading it from the SP logs which might be applied here.
see this PR Widdershin/sonic-pi-cli#21 for details.

Merge with a core team project?

Hi folks,

The topic of a Sonic Pi extension for Visual Studio Code has been discussed recently within the Sonic Pi core team.
Partly as an exercise for several of us in using Javascript/Typescript, a similar project has been started here: https://github.com/llloret/sonic-pi-vscode-editor.

We would love to know if you are open to/interested in shifting over and joining with us on the above project, and optionally merging code from vscode-sonic-pi into the above where relevant.

write more good documentation

• write how to use more detail
