v1.4.0 - 2026-02-12

Added

• Map variable IntelliSense - Intelligent key completions when accessing AutoIt Map variables
  • Shows available keys when typing a Map variable name (e.g., typing $map shows known keys)
  • Tracks Map keys across your workspace and included files
  • Works with both direct assignments ($map["key"] = value) and declarations with initial keys
  • Configuration options to tune behavior:
    • autoit.maps.enableIntelligence - Enable/disable Map intelligence (default: true)
    • autoit.maps.includeDepth - Maximum depth for resolving #include files (default: 3, range: 0-10)
    • autoit.maps.showFunctionKeys - Show Map keys assigned in functions (default: true)
  • See docs/map-support.md for performance tuning recommendations
• Scope-aware variable IntelliSense - Intelligent context-aware variable completions that respect AutoIt's scoping rules
  • Shows only accessible variables at cursor position (local, static, global, and parameters)
  • Prioritizes local variables over globals for better relevance
  • Respects function boundaries and AutoIt's scope rules (global and function-level scoping)
  • Extends to global variables from #include files
  • Intelligent debouncing (500ms) with concurrent update handling
  • Fallback to regex-based completion when service is unavailable
• Ignore AutoIt Tidy backup files from diagnostics

Fixed

• Improved error handling for variable tracking updates during configuration changes
• Enhanced stderr and process error handling in Au3Check execution

Changed

• Enhanced README documentation with Map intelligence feature details
• Enhanced variable parsing with support for comma-separated declarations (e.g., Global $a, $b, $c) and improved string handling for AutoIt's double-character escaping
• Extracted formatter constants into constants.js file
• Syntax Highlighting Improvements
  • Migrated syntax definition from XML to JSON format (autoit.tmLanguage.json) for better maintainability and IDE support
  • Enhanced function pattern matching to distinguish function declarations from function calls with dedicated scopes
  • Consolidated all 98+ AutoIt macros into dedicated pattern repository for improved consistency
  • Improved numeric constant parsing with better hexadecimal, decimal, and scientific notation matching
  • Refined operator patterns for comparison, assignment, arithmetic, and concatenation with proper precedence
  • Fixed multi-line string handling by refining string end patterns
  • Enhanced preprocessor directive matching (#include, #pragma, #region, etc.) for better accuracy
  • Improved comment block pattern matching (#comments-start/#cs directives)
  • Reorganized send-key patterns into 13 categorized groups (browser keys, media keys, navigation, numpad, lock, editing, system keys) for granular theme customization
