Vscode: Minimap: support // Mark meta comments to support custom rendering in the minimap

[pvinis]

Take a look at the minimap of Xcode 11.

• Nice and clean rectangles in the right size
• Colors from the syntax highlighting
• Titles/separators coming from // MARK: UISceneSession Lifecycle in this case, but it can be used in a bunch more languages

Have you tried the setting editor.minimap.renderCharacters to false?

Suggest to file a separate issue for separator support in the minimap.

[pvinis]

Hm nice. That fixed the nice and clean rectangles :D not great in size still. Also the colors I guess are correct too.

So actually what this issue is, is a way to configure the size of the rects, and the support for // MARK style separators.

Perhaps this could also support class and method names from file outline.

Ever since the release of XCode 11, I've wanted this. Really hoping this issue becomes a reality!

Can't find this in the backlog, is it already implemented in the current release? 🤔

I found it in the backlog. So glad this will be worked on!!

@gcamp806 do you have a link for the issue in the backlog?

[gcamp806]

@mrousavy the link on the backlog brings you back to this page... On the backlog page, I searched for "Mark meta" and had to keep scrolling for github to load more of the page. The issues are sorted by creation date, so scroll down to June 2019 and you should be able to see it.
