Fortran IntelliSense for Visual Studio 2017
This extension is a Language Server Protocol client that connects
to Chris Hansen’s Fortran Language Server to add IntelliSense for Fortran to Visual Studio 2017.
Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 or newer
Install Fortran Language Server
pip install fortran-language-server

. This is usually [path to your python installation]/Scripts/fortls.exe
.The extension unfortunately doesn’t play nice with Intel’s Fortran IDE.
In fact, having both of the extensions at the same time often causes Visual Studio to crash.
I have issued a feature request to Intel to decouple language analysis from compiler+debugger functionality, they were positive about the idea, so hopefully they will do something about it soon.
However, don’t hesitate to repeat the request to them, so they have an idea about the demand.
