Updated to preserve tabs in VS Code #12

Closed clarmond closed 5 years ago

clarmond commented 6 years ago

For code that uses tabs instead of spaces, this code will preserve those tabs in the VS Code snippet using the tab control character.

Hi.

Thanks for your contribution but I cannot merge it with master. Currently the functionality for all 3 editors mimic the same functionality. I cannot change the functionality for VSCode only leaving ST and Atom with inconsistent output. Snippet generator lets user share generated snippets with a friend via URL and this will break the consistency of peoples output.

It is a good idea tho and I will add an option to respect tabs in the future. It will no longer convert tabs into 2 spaces.

Thanks for contribution again!

That makes sense. I ended up created my own basic snippet creator based on my own needs including preservation of dollar signs for Perl code. Thanks for the inspiration.
