Q: terraform syntax highlighting and fuzzy search

[az-z]

Hello,
I hope you don't mind 2 questions:

1. is there a way to have a syntax highlighting for the terraform code?
2. is it possible to have a fuzzy search with the terrafom ls server?

Thank you
AZ

If the terraform language server supports semanticTokens highlighting, coc.nvim can use this to highlight the code.

a fuzzy search wiht terrafom ls

Can't understand, what's you want to search from the LS?

@fannheyward ,
thank you for assisting with my questions.

For the fuzzy search question:

for example, type:

resource aws_

that will bring an alphabetical list of everything matching "aws_". If i need to get an "aws_instance" resource, I need to type exactly that, e.g.: ``` aws_instance``.

The use case here is to filter out the list based on what user types, e.g.:

resource  insta

as user types "insta" the list will offer "aws_instance" as a choice for auto completion ( among other options).

Followup on the syntax highlighting question:

It looks like they support the syntax tokens - https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-ls/blob/main/docs/syntax-highlighting.md

In addition: is there a way to get rid of the pre-created "name"? As I type a resource name, e.g. "resource aws_instance" the "name" literal gets created ( see the snapshot above). That is not useful at all, since the name of the resource is pretty much unique. Currently, it is inserted for all resources.
Since this is a very obvious situation, I'm certain that I just need to type some magic combination to change the "name" ...
