Vscode-markdown: Default keybinding of `toggleStrikethrough`

[maranomynet]

This would make managing ToDo lists so much nicer.

Also, a keyboard shortcut for strikethrough would be nice.

{
    "key": "alt+s",
    "command": "markdown.extension.editing.toggleStrikethrough",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'markdown'"
}

You can custom your keybindings like this.

As for the syntax highlighting, it is offered by the vscode official markdown extension. Maybe you can open a feature request on vscode repositery (but I guess it will have really low priority)

BTW, you might also like to try todo+.

The code snippet above is pasted out of my own custom keybindings.json file.
It would just be nice to have it bound by default.

[maranomynet]

I didn't realise the syntax highlight was VSCode's responsibility. I'll take it up with them. Thanks!

[yzhang-gh]

The reason I didn't assign a default shortcut for toggleStrikethrough is because I didn't find a good one.
I will leave this open to see other users' opinions.

[maranomynet]

Alt+s has been working nicely for me and fits well with Alt+c for toggling task items.

Since this is in principle related, I wrote here instead of opening a new issue.

Will you consider to implement the similar functionality for ToDo list like this?
https://github.com/PKief/vscode-markdown-checkbox
Also I found "Information in status bar" is rather useful for Projects ToDo.

I understand that this functionality is far from Markdown, but maybe it correlates with your idea what is or does not resemble your project.

[maranomynet]

Also, IMO, the toggleStrikethrough command should act on the current line/paragraph as a whole, if no text is selected.

[yzhang-gh]

@godaygo I think the current solution (automatically add - [ ] when you press Enter) is better because you don't need to press other keybindings to "create task list".
As for the statusbar information of to-do, I am afraid it is not in my plan because personally I prefer to use other extension (like todo+ mentioned above).

@maranomynet It sounds like "quick mode" (like toggling bold). One difference is that "quick mode" of this extension smartly select the word under your cursor rather than a whole line/paragraph.

[maranomynet]

Awkward. only now do I learn about quick mode. :-) I like it, and appreciate the idea of making strikethrough behavie consistently with bold and italic.

However, my personal usage of strikethrough is like 95% to strike out whole lines in a bullet list of todos (or task items)

[yzhang-gh]

I just checked my code and the most easy way is reusing the "quick mode" code. That says that strikethrough will behave the same way as bold/italic.
I guess that striking out a task list is not a frequently used command. So let's live with its absence 😅

[yzhang-gh]

Oh, I didn't realize that I already implemented it 😂

[maranomynet]

An option to strike the whole line would be sweet though 😉

[yzhang-gh]

I'll do it after the Spring Festival

[yzhang-gh]

Although it is not documented, I can tell you secretly that quick mode will strike-through the whole line in task list (in v1.1.0) 😎

[yzhang-gh]

I change my mind now. Let's assign alt+s as the default keybinding.

As for this strikethrough decoration, I recommend Highlight extension with this setting

"highlight.regexes": {
    "(~~.+?~~)": [
        {
            "rangeBehavior": 1,
            "textDecoration": "line-through"
        }
    ]
},
