2 years ago I am having trouble building the dendron repository, so I will leave my suggestion here instead of opening a PR.
// taskOperations.ts
import { Range, TextEditor, TextEditorEdit, TextLine, window } from 'vscode';
// Update task status.
function setStatus(symbol: string): void {
// Regex pattern (i.e., see: https://regex101.com/r/lVQ2am/1).
const pattern = /(?<=-\s\[)([\sx<>\/])(?=\])/;
// Ensure an editor is open.
const editor: TextEditor | undefined = window.activeTextEditor;
// Ensure an editor is open.
if (!editor) {
window.showErrorMessage('No editor open.');
return
}
// Get line.
const line: TextLine = editor.document.lineAt(editor.selection.active.line);
// Get line contents.
let lineContents = line.text;
// Find index for character inside `[` and `]`.
let index: number | undefined = lineContents.match(pattern)?.index;
// Ensure the command is executed on a task.
if (!index) {
window.showErrorMessage('Not a valid task item.');
return
}
// Create range for replacement.
const range: Range = new Range(line.lineNumber, index, line.lineNumber, index + 1);
editor.edit((editBuilder: TextEditorEdit) => {
editBuilder.replace(range, symbol);
});
}
// Set custom status.
export const setCustomStatus = (args: any): void => {
// Ensure symbol is provided.
if (!args.symbol) {
window.showErrorMessage('Symbol not provided for keybinding.');
return
}
// Update the task status.
setStatus(args.symbol);
}// extension.ts
import * as vscode from 'vscode';
import * as taskOperations from './taskOperations';
// When extension gets activated.
export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
context.subscriptions.push(
// Register command.
vscode.commands.registerCommand('dendron.taskSetStatus', taskOperations.setCustomStatus)
);
}// package.json
{
// ....
"activationEvents": [
"onCommand: dendron.taskSetStatus"
],
// ...
}Then, as a keybinding we could have:
// keybindings.json
[
// ...
{
"key": "alt+x",
"command": "dendron.taskSetStatus",
"args": {
"symbol": "x",
},
"when": "editorTextFocus"
},
// ...
]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I often find myself updating task statuses (i.e., changing the character between
[and]of a markdown list item). Unfortunately, the Markdown all in one extension only allows toggling between[x]and[ ]. I was hoping for something more general that allows mapping whatever symbols (e.g.,x,>,<etc.) to custom keybindings.Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to add custom keybindings to change what is between
[and]with various characters.Describe alternatives you've considered
