OpenEdge ABL language support for VS Code

This is a language support for Visual Studio Code. I have decided to put this up and make it public as there is no such extension.

• This repository: https://github.com/ZaphyrVonGenevese/vscode-abl
• Grammar repository: https://github.com/ZaphyrVonGenevese/openedge-abl-syntax
• For latest changes see: Release notes

Syntax definition is not in this repository

For issues and other things regarding syntax definition, see

• https://github.com/ZaphyrVonGenevese/openedge-abl-syntax

Things that do NOT work

• Grammar scopes are not supported right now, but will be; see Priorities

Priorities

• My first priority is fixing issues
• My second priority is adding missing keywords, support for abbreviations and other
• When those two points are done, I plan to completely rewrite the grammar to support scopes and other features of TextMate grammar

What you should know about me

• I do not use OOP aspects of ABL, so there may be some gaps
• This is my first TextMate language grammar
• This is my first opensource project

That being said, I am super enthusiasthic helping the OpenEdge community. Any suggestions, help, feedback, advice, and critic is appreciated.
