• Toggle Quote Characters: Toggle outer quotes between ", ', and `

  

  • Keybinding: Cmd+Opt+' (Mac), Ctrl+Alt+' (Other)
  • Settings:
    • vext.quoteChars: Quote characters to be used when toggling quotes. Defaults to [", ', `].

  • Settings:
    • vext.useDoubleQuotesForOutputStrings: When enabled, Javascript or YAML results will use double quotes (instead of single quotes) for string values and keys as required.
  • Notes:
    • YAML will NOT be output when:
      • it's a single-line selection and the resulting YAML would not be a single line
      • the first line (of a multi-line selection) is preceded by non-whitespace characters

• Toggle Text Casing: Toggle a word or selection between upper and lower case

  

  • Keybinding: Cmd+Opt+a (Mac), Ctrl+Alt+a (Other)
  • Settings:
    • vext.caseExtraWordChars: Additional characters that will be considered a part of \w when parsing words to toggle case. For example, if '-' is specified, then 'super-secret' would be considered a single word. Defaults to most special characters.

Vext works best when you can quickly execute/re-execute these commands, so using keyboard shortcuts is recommended. Default command keybindings are listed for each command, but note that they may conflict with your existing keybindings.

See launch.json for configurations to run the extension or to run the test suite.

Using Github Actions, the CI build will run on all pull requests and pushes/merges to main. The release build will run on publish of a Github release, which will then publish the extension to the Visual Studio Marketplace.

This project uses Conventional Commits and standard-version to facilitate versioning and changelogs.
