Regis Thomas commented on DAFFODIL-2593:
----------------------------------------

I have been working on the dfdl:format section that normally predefines the 
format for most properties.  I am leaning toward auto completing a boilerplate 
format with a default for each format property.  In the current implementation 
all available properties (that I know of) have a pre-defined value.  A user can 
tab to each property and press ctrl+space to get a list of dropdown options, or 
accept the default and tab to the next option.  I guessed at the defaults.  I 
don't have enough experience building dfdl schemas to know if defaults are 
better than having a user select a value for each property.  Also I'm not sure 
what value are the best for defaults.  I'll create another animated GIF to show 
how the dfdl:format implementation is currently working and attach it also. for 
feedback

> I am looking for some feedback on a work in progress on a VS Code Extension 
> for DFDL language auto completion.  The extension is based on a TypeScript 
> sample. Attached is an animated GIF showing a schema written with the auto 
> completion extension.  The extension is still "plain-text" so no key word 
> coloration.  Any feedback/suggestions appreciated.
