If I hoover over a record variable in VSCode I get a full listing of all fields on that record with PK fields at the top of the list marked with an asterisk (*).

When I write code Intellisence will help me to ease the selection of variable, methods, etc. Doing this, referencing a record variable, Intellisence narrows down the list to methods, properties and fields that related to the record variable. It would be very helpful if, in this list, PK fields would also be marked with an asterisk (*). In this way it's easier to directly select a PK field.

Thank you for this suggestion! This is now supported in upcoming 2022 release wave 2. You can already now experience it in insider VSIX builds.

When invoking IntelliSense for table fields, primary key members are now marked with a (PKx) in the IntelliSense list, where x is a sequential number indicating the order of the field in the key. This makes it easier to identify the table fields that make up the primary key as well as the sequency of these fields in the key.

Shouldn't the status be changed to Implemented?

An indicator as to how many PK fields are present or 1/5 would also be nice. In that case you do not need to go through all fields to see how many you need to add to the Get() function.

It would be really helpful, as I often have to look this up separately when making a Get.

This would be good. I believe there's similar logic in a couple of mouse-over tips, so it hopefully won't be too complex to copy over.

This idea was suggested by a number of students in the AL dev courses I am conducting.
