Hi guys I just want to share this VS Code extension I made to support SExpression KiCad files format.
The extension adds colorization for files so it’s easy to read the files content.
You cand find the extension here:

Not yet, support is coming soon, can’t deside on a default format. Do you have some ideas?
Look at kicad code and format it same way kicad does, otherwise there will be diff churn for anyone hand editing files and tracking them in source control.

Syntax coloring changes the presentation of the file. Auto formatting changes the contents of the file. These are two distinct functions that don’t go together.
Hi qu1ck, thanks for the Idea, , I also though the same, can you or anyone here point me to the right direction in code so I can check out the current format and try to do a typescript implementation.
Exactly where it is defined I don’t know (probably somebody more knowledgeable can offer better input), but this seem like a good place to start looking around:

Great! Thank you for the contribution. I suggest you to publish this extension in the VSCode marketplace looking for Open VSX compatibility. That will able to use it with VSCodium.
VSCode is a non-truly open source as MS claims → VS Code or VS Codium - Which should I choose?
