1. Thanks the suggestion from @dprice mentioned in Goto Symbols Support for Multiple Requests in a File #126

Awesome! I haven't had a chance to try this out, yet. How long does it take for this to show up in the VSCode Marketplace (and within VSCode Extensions)?

[Huachao]

@dprice Since it is still under development, it won't be included in next release in late October, however, it should be included in a release of Novber. Sorry for the inconvenience

[dprice]

No worries! If I find the time, I'll clone the repo locally and see if I can getting running with the nightly stuff.

[dprice]

How will the shared variables be configured? Are these also in the user settings file under the environmentVariables setting or somewhere else?

[Huachao]

@dprice also in the setting, but with a special env name to represent it

@dprice you can try the latest version 0.16.1 to verify this feature. You just need to add variables in an environment named $shared, you can see more details from README. One example is like below:

"rest-client.environmentVariables": {
        "$shared": {
            "host": "https://api.github.com",
            "app_server": "localhost",
            "app_token": "12345678",
            "name": "openstack",
            "version": "v1"
        },
        "Sandbox": {
            "name": "Huachao"
        },
        "Prod": {
            "version": "v2"
        }
    }```

Awesome! I'll try that today.
