Tab should advance bullet character #56

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

It would be nice if the tab key advanced the indentation of the whole item when the cursor is positioned past the bullet point.

My natural workflow for creating sub-items is to hit ctrl-enter to create the next bullet point, then hit tab to make it a sub-item. It's a little faster than doing enter / tab / ctrl-shift-L when typing fast.

Thanks! # # #

You could probably do this as a custom keybinding. If you know the overall command you want to fire (probably, in this case, editor:indent-selected-rows), you could try this in your keybinding file:

'atom-text-editor:not(.mini)[data-grammar~="todo"]':
  'tab': 'editor:indent-selected-rows'

Same goes for shift-tab. It does mean that you can't use tab in the middle of a line, but that seems to be what you'd expect!

Does that help at all?

Ah, that's perfect, that gives me the exact behaviour I'm looking for!

Thanks a lot, and great work on the plug-in. I'm just getting into Atom and this plug-in was a big reason I was willing to give it a go.

Awesome! That's great to hear :) Atom is super extensible, so you can do just about anything you want!
