[css] Use CSS custom properties imported via @import

Is it possible for VS code to recognize CSS variables declared in a separate CSS file that is imported with @import ?

For example, I would like to have a variables.css file that is all about declaring CSS custom properties. Then I would import that file on top of my main css file, and be able to have intellisense support for those variables.

The way things work now, VSCode is not able to recognize those variables. Or maybe I am missing something obvious?

I vote for the feature too. It’s quite confusing when you can not find a variable within suggestions popup while it’s declared in one of the linked files, especially when it’s in :root pseudo-class (so it’s available throughout your project). Right now it’s appeared in suggestions popup only in the file where the custom property is defined.

It would be great if the popup could show on typing -- not only the variable’s name and value but also some kind of modifier that explains where the variable is declared: in :root, inherited from parent or it comes right from this selector where it’s used (probably in terms of sorting this kind of custom properties should have higher priority). Also, the modifier mentioning overriding (‘Root value is overridden in ‘name’ selector’ or something like this) would be useful.

How do I cast my vote for this feature? I am very interested in it as well.
