[kieferrm]

Functionality

• code cells support the GH query syntax
• support macros
  • definition: $BUG= "label:bug"
  • usage: repo:microsoft/vscode is:issue ${BUG} notebook
• support for OR such as (label:bug OR label:important)
• Language features
  • 🏃 intellisense: keywords; macros, potentially repos, labels, users, milestones
  • syntax check
  • semantic check such as !label:bug label:bug and undefined macros
  • go to definition and find all references for macros
  • rename for macros
  • outline for full notebook
• results
  • text: only list of issue urls
  • json
  • list of issues (like GH)
• extensions
  • copy result list
  • sort results in various ways
  • define list of repos and have a drop down that lets you switch the default repo
  • mark cells as locked/unlocked (like macOS System Preferences)
• we can grow this over time to allow cells to contain graph QL queries to be polyglot
