How do we get this to save the files as .txt or .Tap and maintain all teh benefits of this wonderful G code viewer and editor. Whenever I enter the file in a format that my mach4 accepts it doesn't give me color coding or any of the benefits of using this extension. Thanks for this extension. Will save me a ton of time numbering the lines when I have to edit visually looking for a color to find things like Z X or Y also a tremendous time saver. THANKS.

I'm very new to g-code, and the on-hover information is fantastic and indispensable. It would be even better if we could always display the information on the same line after the line ends. I'm not sure if you've used IntelliJ, but that IDE presents information in that way often. I think it would make this plugin even better.

Thanks so much for the excellent plugin!

Hello,

first I want to thank you for the time, you spent making this awesome VS-Code Extension. I really like it.
My Problem is, that my CNC-machine has some M-Codes, that i can't process normally.
For example, M4=3 means "spindle start, Main spindle, clockwise" whereas M3=3 means "spindle start, counterspindle, clockwise"
There is a whole bunch of these special M-Codes my machine ist using.
At the moment i am not able to use these definitions, even if i write them into the settings.json-file, because i think he stops at the "="-symbol and doesn't read further. It seems it is all just M4 or M3 for the program.
Unfortunately I am not a programmer, so I would like to ask you for your help. Is there a solution to this problem.
Thank you very much in advance and have a nice day.

Best regards

Ben

I'm getting an error trying to use the line number commands. both .addlinenumbers and .removelinenumbers produces an error and no changes are made. not sure if this is enough information for you, let me know if i can be more specific.

I recently added the G-code extension to Visual Studio code and see that it has the capability for G and M-code descriptions with a cursor hover. I am not able to get that to work. I am using v0.2.1. Please advise.

I tried adding the g-code definitions into the settings.json file as instructed. That did not change the result. See image below.

I would also like some guidance on how to add to the G-code Dictionary.
