Installation

Simply clone the repo and press F5 and that's it! We're working on providing a VSIX package and making it accessible from the visual studio extension marketplace

• Auto complete support in the form of RTL statements for operands and pseudo-ops

• Shortcuts implemented for various operands:

  1. shift + enter + a --> inserts ADD
