Kite for Visual Studio Code
This extension adds support for Kite in Visual Studio Code and adds the features:
- Completions
- Function Signatures
- Expanded Info
- Goto Definition
How to install this extension
This extension is automatically installed by Kite when you select Visual Studio Code in the list of plugins.
Startup
When starting VSCode with Kite for the first time, a brief tour about Kite will be displayed in the active pane.
This tour will only be displayed once. If you want to see it again on next startup you can activate the kite.showTourOnStartup setting.
Status Bar
The Kite icon in the status bar displays the state of Kite for the current file. Clicking on the icon will open the status panel with additional information.
The icon in the status bar can take three different colors:
- blue: The Kite Engine is available and functioning properly.
- gray: There's either no open file or, if there's an active file, the file is either not supported or not whitelisted.
- red: Something went wrong when the plugin tried to contact the Kite service on your computer. Depending on the issue, the status panel can offer actions to solve the problem.

Active Search
Active search is available using the corresponding command from the command palette. It will open the search panel on the side.
