88rust-analyzer shows additional information inline with the source code.
89Editors usually render this using read-only virtual text snippets interspersed with code.
90
91rust-analyzer shows hits for
92
93* types of local variables
94* names of function arguments
95* types of chained expressions
96
97**Note:** VS Code does not have native support for inlay hints https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/16221[yet] and the hints are implemented using decorations.
98This approach has limitations, the caret movement and bracket highlighting near the edges of the hint may be weird:

120=== Magic Completions
121**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/completion.rs#L39[completion.rs]
122
123In addition to usual reference completion, rust-analyzer provides some ✨magic✨
124completions as well:
125
126Keywords like `if`, `else` `while`, `loop` are completed with braces, and cursor
127is placed at the appropriate position. Even though `if` is easy to type, you
128still want to complete it, to get ` { }` for free! `return` is inserted with a
129space or `;` depending on the return type of the function.
130
131When completing a function call, `()` are automatically inserted. If a function
132takes arguments, the cursor is positioned inside the parenthesis.
133
134There are postfix completions, which can be triggered by typing something like
135`foo().if`. The word after `.` determines postfix completion. Possible variants are:
136
137- `expr.if` -> `if expr {}` or `if let ... {}` for `Option` or `Result`
138- `expr.match` -> `match expr {}`
139- `expr.while` -> `while expr {}` or `while let ... {}` for `Option` or `Result`
140- `expr.ref` -> `&expr`
141- `expr.refm` -> `&mut expr`
142- `expr.not` -> `!expr`
143- `expr.dbg` -> `dbg!(expr)`
144
145There also snippet completions:
146
147.Expressions
148- `pd` -> `println!("{:?}")`
149- `ppd` -> `println!("{:#?}")`
150
151.Items
152- `tfn` -> `#[test] fn f(){}`
153- `tmod` ->
154```rust
155#[cfg(test)]
156mod tests {
157 use super::*;
158
159 #[test]
160 fn test_fn() {}
161}

165=== Matching Brace
166**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/matching_brace.rs#L3[matching_brace.rs]
167
168If the cursor is on any brace (`<>(){}[]`) which is a part of a brace-pair,
169moves cursor to the matching brace. It uses the actual parser to determine
170braces, so it won't confuse generics with comparisons.

180**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/typing.rs#L37[typing.rs]
181
182Some features trigger on typing certain characters:
183
184- typing `let =` tries to smartly add `;` if `=` is followed by an existing expression
185- Enter inside comments automatically inserts `///`
186- typing `.` in a chain method call auto-indents

215=== Semantic Syntax Highlighting
216**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/syntax_highlighting.rs#L34[syntax_highlighting.rs]
217
218rust-analyzer highlights the code semantically.
219For example, `bar` in `foo::Bar` might be colored differently depending on whether `Bar` is an enum or a trait.
220rust-analyzer does not specify colors directly, instead it assigns tag (like `struct`) and a set of modifiers (like `declaration`) to each token.
221It's up to the client to map those to specific colors.
222
223The general rule is that a reference to an entity gets colored the same way as the entity itself.
224We also give special modifier for `mut` and `&mut` local variables.

252=== Structural Seach and Replace
253**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/ssr.rs#L26[ssr.rs]
254
255Search and replace with named wildcards that will match any expression.
256The syntax for a structural search replace command is `<search_pattern> ==>> <replace_pattern>`.
257A `$<name>:expr` placeholder in the search pattern will match any expression and `$<name>` will reference it in the replacement.
258Available via the command `rust-analyzer.ssr`.
259
260```rust
261// Using structural search replace command [foo($a:expr, $b:expr) ==>> ($a).foo($b)]
262
263// BEFORE
264String::from(foo(y + 5, z))
265
266// AFTER
267String::from((y + 5).foo(z))

277=== Workspace Symbol
278**Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide_db/src/symbol_index.rs#L122[symbol_index.rs]
279
280Uses fuzzy-search to find types, modules and functions by name across your
281project and dependencies. This is **the** most useful feature, which improves code
282navigation tremendously. It mostly works on top of the built-in LSP
283functionality, however `#` and `*` symbols can be used to narrow down the
284search. Specifically,
285
286- `Foo` searches for `Foo` type in the current workspace
287- `foo#` searches for `foo` function in the current workspace
288- `Foo*` searches for `Foo` type among dependencies, including `stdlib`
289- `foo#*` searches for `foo` function among dependencies
290
291That is, `#` switches from "types" to all symbols, `*` switches from the current
292workspace to dependencies.
