VSCode extension

To simplify Assertive Script development, we developed a Visual Studio Code extension with the following features:

• Syntax highlighting.
• A command to call the Assertive interpreter. Keyboard shortcut: ctrl+alt+a on Windows and Linux or shift+cmd+a on macOS.
• An output window tailored for Assertive Script.
• Code snippets to speed up development.
• A Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation that analyses the script. Any discovered errors will be reported in the Problems window.
