Unity Shader Authoring in VSCode: ShaderlabVSCode Extension

ShaderlabVSCode(Free) - Visual Studio Marketplace

The most frustrating part of writing shaders in Unity is the lack of code autocompletion.

Visual Studio had no autocompletion support, so you had to type every character manually and verify correctness yourself.

It was an extremely unproductive environment.

So I started looking for extensions and discovered a company called amlovey.

They've built and distributed a free extension tool for Visual Studio Code.

After testing it out, it works quite well with no friction — I'm considering switching entirely to the lightweight VSCode for shader work.
