beekman / magical-selection

This plugin for Atom Text Editor makes the background of selected text cycle in a magical rainbow gradient. Concatenate text selection like a sourceror! Other Atom text selection plugins don't feature both animation and gradients. Other plugins also don't call on arcane powers beyond the mortal plane.

Port to Visual Studio Code #16

Open edwinramirez opened 7 years ago

As the title says, could you bless VSC with arcane powers? Please????

Good suggestion!

Looks like there's a Mac version:

Seems like it should be possible. I've never used VSC, but I assume it has a plugin system for 3rd part authors?

Yes, you can build extensions and themes for VSC: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/overview

I know that Atom is a lot more open to customization than VSC but not sure to what extent. But I've used a couple of extensions that modify text and empty spaces with colors so I think that porting magical-selection is completely possible without it having to be an ordeal. Like this one that colorizes tab indentations: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=oderwat.indent-rainbow And this one that colorizes matching brackets: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=2gua.rainbow-brackets

Cool! Thanks for linkages. I'll check it out. I've been meaning to play with VSC anyway, so this could be a good intro. 👍

Kinda looking at this now.
