Case insensitive go to definition

[nfrancque]

VHDL is case insensitive. Remove case requirements for going to definition of signal or entity on hover.

I'll check into that. I haven't looked at the goto stuff in awhile. Thanks!

Thank you!

Unfortunately I am not certain I can do this. I have checked and duplicated your findings with the following:

entity foobar is
	
end entity foobar; 

architecture rtl of foobar is
	signal MYSIGNAL : std_logic; 
begin
	MYSIGNAL <= 5; 
	mysignal <= 4; 
	
end architecture rtl;

In this instance if you hover over MYSIGNAL it will show the definition, and if you hover over mysignal it won't. Both words are scoped identically and the defining line is scoped correctly. However Sublime Text is doing the match, not me, and ST seems to be doing a case sensitive search. Currently documentation does not indicate that there is a setting I can put in there for case insensitivity for matching, but there might be something undocumented. I'll check with the experts and see if there's anything I can do.

Okay from a quick chat on Discord with other package developers, it turns out that this is a Sublime Text limitation currently. There's a link there to the issue on the editor bug page. So unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this one right now. Best suggestion is to adopt a good coding style (like chained_lowercase_words and stick to it. I know that is not always possible if handed code done by someone else though.

Maybe I need a new label for ST bug.

This is now an enhancement request for Sublime Text here: sublimehq/sublime_text#2571

Thanks for submitting that. Appreciate the responsiveness.

No trouble at all. Thanks for noticing that. I don't usually have that situation personally and never occurred to me to check it.

My specific use case is entities being named in all caps but instantiated in lower case. Not a big deal, but would be nice to have.
