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. | ||
98 | This 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#L38[completion.rs] | ||
122 | |||
123 | In addition to usual reference completion, rust-analyzer provides some ✨magic✨ | ||
124 | completions as well: | ||
125 | |||
126 | Keywords like `if`, `else` `while`, `loop` are completed with braces, and cursor | ||
127 | is placed at the appropriate position. Even though `if` is easy to type, you | ||
128 | still want to complete it, to get ` { }` for free! `return` is inserted with a | ||
129 | space or `;` depending on the return type of the function. | ||
130 | |||
131 | When completing a function call, `()` are automatically inserted. If a function | ||
132 | takes arguments, the cursor is positioned inside the parenthesis. | ||
133 | |||
134 | There 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 | |||
145 | There 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)] | ||
156 | mod tests { | ||
157 | use super::*; | ||
158 | |||
159 | #[test] | ||
160 | fn test_fn() {} | ||
161 | } | ||
162 | ``` | ||
163 | |||
164 | |||
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 | |||
168 | If the cursor is on any brace (`<>(){}[]`) which is a part of a brace-pair, | ||
169 | moves cursor to the matching brace. It uses the actual parser to determine | ||
170 | braces, 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#L35[typing.rs] | ||
181 | |||
182 | Some 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 | ||
187 | |||
188 | |||
189 | === Parent Module | ||
190 | **Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/parent_module.rs#L12[parent_module.rs] | ||

204 | Shows a popup suggesting to run a test/benchmark/binary **at the current cursor | ||
205 | location**. Super useful for repeatedly running just a single test. Do bind this | ||
206 | to a shortcut! | ||

215 | === Semantic Syntax Highlighting | ||
216 | **Source:** https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/ra_ide/src/syntax_highlighting.rs#L33[syntax_highlighting.rs] | ||
217 | |||
218 | rust-analyzer highlights the code semantically. | ||
219 | For example, `bar` in `foo::Bar` might be colored differently depending on whether `Bar` is an enum or a trait. | ||
220 | rust-analyzer does not specify colors directly, instead it assigns tag (like `struct`) and a set of modifiers (like `declaration`) to each token. | ||
221 | It's up to the client to map those to specific colors. | ||
222 | |||
223 | The general rule is that a reference to an entity gets colored the same way as the entity itself. | ||
224 | We also give special modifier for `mut` and `&mut` local variables. | ||
225 | |||

254 | |||
255 | Search and replace with named wildcards that will match any expression. | ||
256 | The syntax for a structural search replace command is `<search_pattern> ==>> <replace_pattern>`. | ||
257 | A `$<name>:expr` placeholder in the search pattern will match any expression and `$<name>` will reference it in the replacement. | ||
258 | Available 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 | ||
264 | String::from(foo(y + 5, z)) | ||
265 | |||

279 | |||
280 | Uses fuzzy-search to find types, modules and functions by name across your | ||
281 | project and dependencies. This is **the** most useful feature, which improves code | ||
282 | navigation tremendously. It mostly works on top of the built-in LSP | ||
283 | functionality, however `#` and `*` symbols can be used to narrow down the | ||
284 | search. 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 | |||
291 | That is, `#` switches from "types" to all symbols, `*` switches from the current | ||
292 | workspace to dependencies. | ||
