Quite often when writing syntax tests, I don't add any assertions for whitespace (unless I am adding a negation for the previous assertion to confirm the scope is no longer active), as whitespaces typically don't receive any special scopes. Therefore, when I have a file like:
line being tested
# ^^ example1
and I create a new test line and press Tab, I then have to press Space^ to get assertions for the next non-whitespace span.
line being tested
# ^^ example1
# ^ base_scope
This PR allows me to set a new preference called syntax_test.skip_whitespace to true, so that I can just press Tab and end up with:
line being tested
# ^^ example1
# ^^^^^ example2
Hopefully other people will also find this useful :)
