    Been thinking about something like this for so long, but didn't want to bother with building a VSC extension. Thanks for sharing this!

    I suspect it would be useful as a fast "context collector" for LLMs as well. Maybe framing it like that could catch HN's attention a bit more.

      I've noticed that anything AI is golden here. I've enjoyed doing this and I use it so I'm not really interested in promoting it more. And I've moved on to something a little less weird, and no, it is not an AI thing. :-)

    I don't know how to install this.

      In vscode click on the extension icon on the left that looks like building blocks. Then type in definition and this should be one of the first shown. Click, install, enjoy.

        I'm deprecating the extension due to lack of interest. It's been 10 days with as much promotion as I could do and there have been 5 downloads. I can't see taking the trouble to support something with no users.

        I'm using VSCodium, no such extension found on https://open-vsx.org
