Toggling brackets not working + multiple config

[ppo]

Toggling Brackets

The README says Also available different start and end of wrap characters: </>, [/], «/» etc. but it doesn't seem to work, or at least I don't understand how to make it work. I don't find any documentation about that.

I tried the following, using the standard keyboard shortcut Cmd + ', in a Python file, on this line v = [0, 1]:

• Placing the cursor in the middle, after the comma (so no selection).
• Placing the cursor before and after [, ], (, and ).
• On the selections 0, 1 and [0, 1].

Multiple Config

Is it possible to configure multiple lists? Like this:

"togglequotes.chars": [
  [ "\"", "'", "`" ],
  [ ["“", "”"], ["‘", "’"] ],
  [ ["«", "»"], ["‹", "›"] ],
  [ ["(", ")"], ["[", "]"], ["{", "}"] ],
],

It would also be useful to be able to configure different keyboard shortcuts. For example to have one acting on quotes and another one on brackets; so that we don't have to select, it finds the closest type around the cursor.

After many tests and trials this is what I got to work: "togglequotes.chars": ["\"", "'", "`", "<,>", "[,]", "(,)", "{,}"]

You can also add the pairs by opening up the Toggle Quotes extension settings and clicking add item for each pair: <,> (,) [,] {,} which will give you the above togglequotes.chars entry in settings.json

How did you get it to work? Through "Add item", I have been adding the following: [,], (,) and {,} but the only thing it seems to do is to change "test" into 'test' and then 'test' into [,]test[,] ... and then it raises an error Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'begin')

I also tried to force togglequotes.chars": [""", "'", "", "<,>", "[,]", "(,)", "{,}"]` directly in the extension settings ...

but result is basically the same: 'X', [-1, 0, 0]: 'X' change into 'X[,], [-1, 0, 0]: [,]X' instead of the desired 'X', (-1, 0, 0): 'X' when the content of the brackets is selected

inpecting more in detail the code, I was finally able to get it working. Impossible for me to alter the settings through vs-code, as any value I would enter would be considered as string

but I was finally able to get the desired behavious through editing directly the settings file (and multiples uninstall / install) as such:

                "togglequotes.chars": {
                    "type": "array",
                    "items": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "default": [
                        "\"",
                        "'",
                        ["[", "]"],
                        ["(", ")"],
                        ["{", "}"]
                    ],
                    "description": "The quote characters to toggle between.",
                    "scope": "language-overridable"
                }

Oddly, my previous solution stopped working, but what I have working now in my settings.json is:

"togglequotes.chars": [
    "\"",
    "'",
    "`",
    ["<", ">"],
    ["[", "]"],
    ["(", ")"],
    ["{", "}"]
]

vscode will scream about the types being incorrect, but it works.

Just to update my last post, it seemed like the extension had started failing again. Then I realized it was working in some files but not others. So for some languages it wasn't enough to just have the brackets added to the default configuration. I had to add them under the vscode settings for the language where it was failing as well.
