Problem:
As a developer I love intellisense and autocomplete, it's fast, precise and I rely on it a lot because I actually dont remember all the options.
But, something is missing with css variables, vscode does not support autocomplete if the variables on another file.
Solution:
CSS Variable Autocomplete Extension to rescue.
The extension will scan all the css-like files(support SASS, LESS, CSS) and create a dictionary of all variables.
Then use the variables dictionary to show all the completion.
Whats next?
- Color preview box beside variable, it would be nice to know the color value of the variable
- Your suggestion

Looks very useful. Two questions:
1) In there a way to get rid of the dupe intellisense options? (So right now I get two sets of the CSS Variables, those from this plugin with the color swatch, and the default completion without color swatch, SOMETIMES when I re-open the window the default completions don't appear)
2) How would I limit the plugin to the current directory and any subdirectories?
I have a structure that includes many practice projects, but I'm only editing one at a time. Normally I'm just working on a single project at a time, but I have the whole tree open in VSCode, rather than a specific directory (so I can look at code as needed without having to open a second instance of VSCode)
So If I have only project 4's index.html and any still sheets it refers to open, is there a way to limit the plugin to only those files?
Cheers
