[isabelle-dev] NEWS: Isabelle/VSCode

[Mathias Fleury]

Dear Makarius,

I am using Isabelle/VSCode code for a week now. So it is possible to
install and use it.


I mostly like it:

  * I really like VSCode's Control-P to search for commands.

  * the PIDE protocol, unlike "isabelle build", accepts unicode
    characters: If the file contains "×⇩r" instead of "\<times>\<^sub>r"
    (e.g. because I copy-pasted it) , Isabelle/jEdit and Isabelle/VSCode
    will accept the expression, but "isabelle build" will fail. It took
    a long time to figure that out, since in Iaabelle/jEdit, the symbols
    are shown in the same fashion.

  * there are some weird slow-downs: Every once in a while,
    refreshing/jumping to the definition take several seconds. I am not
    yet sure whether Isabelle or VSCode is responsible.


Mathias
