The EZ80 Assembly extension for Visual Studio provides language support for EZ80 Assembly, if you want an extension for z80 and gameboy z80 I also have extensions for those

• Labels
• Assembler directives
• Opcodes, registers, and numbers

• Add markdown documentation in comments
• Hover over a label or equate to see it's documentation
• Peek and find definitions and references of equates and labels
• Automatically searches all included files in the current workspace for documentation
• Option to toggle case-sensitivity

• Start typing and get suggestions based on included symbols and documented ez80 snippets
• Snippet documentation includes flags, bytes, and cycles
• Snippets can be toggled in settings and there are many settings regarding casing of inserted snippets

• Configure a global include directory in settings to automatically search for symbols and documentation
• Directory format can be parent/folder or parent\\folder
• Directories can be absolute or relative to the workspace
• Note that changing this setting may require VS Code to reload to reflect changes

• Helps to distinguish functions(with ":"), labels (without ":"), and equates
• Make sure you have semantic highlighting on in settings

• Note that these diagnostics are specific to the ez80 CPU and spasm-ng assembler
• Error checking while you type
• Can be disabled in settings
• Can check for duplicate declarations in a document (but not included files)
• Won't check .inc files for problems (it can slow down the extension a bit)

• Rename a label or equate across all included files
• If the declaration is in a .inc file, you have to rename in that file to prevent accidental renaming

This project is subject to these terms.

• Undoing (Ctrl + z) a rename will cause an error if the symbol is in multiple files, to fix, just type anything on the line with the error and save
• Sometimes semantic highlighting can be messed up, to fix, press (Ctrl + a) and (Ctrl + /) x 2 (it basically rescans the document)
• Semantic highlighting fires before rescan
