This is a combo TOX/VSCode extension that leverages the Language Server protocol to send a list of context sensitive auto-completion items to Microsoft's Visual Studio Code.
Creating extensive python scripts in Touch Designer can often be time consuming. We can use external editors like Sublime Text and VsCode but many of the features that make these tools beloved among traditional developers are not available to the Touch Designer programmer. This tool attempts to make editing the python scripts associated with Touch Designer projects a little more fluid and hopefully a little more joyful by implementing a (partial) autocompletion engine specific to the idioms of TD.
Right now only VSCode is supported. If there's interest we'll consider a Sublime Text addon.

Clone or download this REPO and then head over to the BUILDS directory. There you'll find a .vsix extension and a tox. You can install the vsix extension by hitting control+shift+P and selecting extensions=>install from vsix. You can also download the latest version from the Release Page.
Feel free! We(meaning me) are actively accepting pull requests.
Currently the td_completes_me uses a tcp based transport to communicate between Touch and VsCode. It will communicate by default on port 1338. If there is another process operating on this port then it will cause the extension to break. In practice this won't have any effect on editing your networks, you just won't get those sweet auto-completions!
PC. It will probably work on a Mac.
Initial release.
fix warnings from external callback scripts
Enjoy!
