Description

I realize this may be extremely difficult or impossible, but the one feature I would like is to have is the same auto complete that Visual Studio provides if you are on a style sheet.

My CSS knowledge is growing over the years, but as I use BlazorStyled I find myself switching over to my site.css to ensure I have the correct syntax, and then switching back to my .razor page.

If you can come up with any way to do this for Version 3, it would be a useful feature for everyone I would think.

I have created some Visual Studio Extensibility packages, but never looked at extending CSS menus.

If you are interested, here is a link that talks about Intellisense towards the bottom:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/language-service-and-editor-extension-points?view=vs-2019

The hard part is the where does Visual Studio pull the information from if you are on a style sheet page.

Have you considered something like this?

Thanks

Research direction
Investigate how Visual Studio provides CSS intellisense for style sheets and explore ways to integrate that into BlazorStyled's component CSS. Consider using the same language service or extending it for .razor files.
