Developing the Visual Studio Code extension

The source code for the extension is located under: vscode

It's the standard procedure for any extension:

open a new workspace with just the extension at toplevel:
- Ctrl + Shift + N
- Ctrl + Shift + P
- Open workspace from file
- select vscode/vscode.code-workspace
In the new window from any file:
- Ctrl+Shift+P
- Debug: Start Debugging
This opens a new window titled "Extension Development Host". You will likely then want to open any .bigb file from that window to test out the extension
from there on:
- make changes on the "vscode" workspace
- test them on the "Extension Development Host" window. To reload changes either:
  - from the Extension Host run the "Developer: Reload Window" command to make extension changes take effect. We recommend adding a shortcut "Alt + Shift + R" for that
  - from the "vscode" workspace, restart the debug proces with the "Debug: Restart" command (default shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + F5")
