Displaying greek letters

[yuriever]

Currently, some commonly used non-ASCII letters, e.g. Greek letters, are displayed as their full names in VSCode. Is it able to display these letters like in notebooks?

Curiously, the greek letters in usage will be rendered as in notebook.

(* ::Package:: *)


BeginPackage["Global`"];


f::usage="\[Alpha]";


Begin["`Private`"];


f[\[Alpha]_]:=
    \[Alpha];

f["\[Alpha]"]:=
    "\[Alpha]";


End[];


EndPackage[];

Currently, I use the prettify-symbols-mode package and its fork vsc-conceal to display greek letters. This feature has been added to the official vscode backlog.

Here is an example configuration:

  "conceal.substitutions": [
    {
      "language": "wolfram",
      "substitutions": [
        {
          "ugly": "\\\\\\[Omega\\]",
          "pretty": "ω"
        },
        {
          "ugly": "\\\\\\[CapitalOmega\\]",
          "pretty": "Ω"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],

    }
  ],

Sadly this extension has stopped being maintained.
