Better IDE Tooling

Unity Engine

The current VS Code extension for Unity supports code coloration for UXML and USS files but that’s all it is. It doesn’t support intellisense, no autocompletion, and certainly no refactorings. Since the extension is now officially maintained by Unity and Microsoft, is there any way that the current state can be improved?

For example, in web development, the Angular framework has an official VS Code extension by the Angular team from Google. The extension supports intellisense and refactorings across different file types, e.g. when I rename a class in a .css file, the corresponding references from .html and .ts files get renamed.

Can we replicate the same feature set for the Unity extension?

Hi @saskenergy, thank for you for the question.

We’re aware that JetBrains Rider provides very good support for UI Toolkit and does what you’re describing.

I’ll take a note and follow up about the VS Code extension and see if it could be improved.

Thanks for reporting this.
