The goal of this plugin is to provide IDE-like features for VHDL (similar to my other plugin for SystemVerilog) :
Compare to the basic VHDL plugin it already proposes:
- a proper symbol definition for easy code navigation
- Some basic indentation definition
- A complete set of snippets written by https://github.com/ccornish
- Tooltip to get signal definition on mouse hover
- Generate a design hierarchy (list of every sub-block) (available in the command panel)
- Navigation side-bar:
- Display instances/procedure/functions inside the current module/package
- Double click on instance/type to jump to it
Future features includes code completion (for record, enum, ...), code alignement, block instantiation, ...
Syntax highlighting is based on the VHDL bundle for Textmate, with a rework of scope to be aligned with the SystemVerilog plugin and some support of VHDL2008 features
Note: the default color scheme (Monokai) is missing a lot of scope, and might not give the best results. You can try my personal variation of Sunburst : https://bitbucket.org/Clams/sublimesystemverilog/downloads/Sunburst2.tmTheme
- Show signal declaration in tooltip or status bar
- Show hierarchy of a block (all its sub-block and their sub-block)
- Find Instances: find all instance of a module inside a project
- Instantiation: Select a module from a list and create instantiation and connection
- Align module instantiation
To see all existing configuration option, go to Preferences->Package Settings->SmartVHDL->Settings (Default).
To edit settings open the Settings (User), and add parameter with the value you want.
To map key to the different feature, simply add the following to your user .sublime-keymap file:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+f10"], "command": "vhdl_module_inst",
"context":
[
{ "key": "num_selections", "operator": "equal", "operand": 1 },
{ "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.vhdl"}
]
},
