I wanted to change compiler used by your plugin to MADS for one project but I've noticed that not all plugin settings are available in workspace nor folder settings. assembler.whichAssembler is one of them.

I've checked them and all those missing ones are defined in package.json with "scope": "machine" instead of "scope": "resource" like the rest of them.

If there's no strict reason for that I'd like to propose a change to make all setting available in all scopes.
The user could still set their machine-specific settings (compiler paths and settings) in User scope but selecting the assembler itself is rather project specific.

In the settings menu there is an option to "automatically close any existing Altirra instances before opening a new one". Despite marking it, when I leave Altirra open and select "assemble and run" or "assemble and debug" Altirra indeed closes but I get the following error:

Launching emulator... "C:\Emulators\Altirra\Altirra64.exe" /pal /run "out\myproject.xex" Exit code: 1

After pressing run again it works because Altirra is already closed.
There is a /singleinstance switch in Altirra maybe that would do the job more effectively if added to the command line by default when selecting the abovementioned option.

I am using MADS if that makes any difference.

Hi!
Are you planning to improve syntax highlightinng for MADS? There is still a plenty of pseudo commands (ORG, RUN, DTA,....), macros (INW, SEQ, etc..), directives that are not recognized by extension yet.

Good job with the extension, nice alternative to WUDSN. Can you please add support for the popular MADS assembler? I made it work by selecting a path to MADS in settings (as the alternative path to the assembler) and editing AssemblerRunner.js, as MADS has slightly different command line switches (-o: for the output file, -t: for symbols and -l: for the lst file). If would however be nice to have a choice of assemblers in settings, or at least a way to define an alternative command line for the assembler. Thanks!

Hi,
first of all thanks a lot for this great plugin! It really makes my life a lot easier :)!
Everything works fine except syntax highlighting which looks a bit odd:

Some commands are highlighted, others are not. Do you have an explanation for that? Or is there a setting that I forgot to activate?
