[Feature Request] View the TMLanguage scope that is called in the editor.

[longtomjr]

This is a feature that is supported in Sublime Text that allows the user to see the scope that is called with (ctrl - shift - alt - P). I find this feature useful because I need to write TMLanguage files to support SKON (a new object notation language) syntax highlighting and error highlighting in VSCode.

I do not know how difficult such an implementation would be, but if it is easy it would be a definite quality of life improvement. If is is a big job, it most likely is not worth the effort

If #580 is resolved, it would be trivial to write an extension that provides hover messages giving the TMLanguage scope for any document.

I've written an extension that provides scope information as you hover over text: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=siegebell.scope-info

You can see the logic I use to find the grammar file here -- it likely does not respect the precedence vscode uses to resolve multiple contributions for the same language.

Thanks a lot, Can I consider this closed?

[siegebell]

sure

Closing as there is a way to dot this now!
