Allow customising the path element separator #53

Closed nbarrientos closed 6 months ago

nbarrientos commented 6 months ago

This YAML seems to be legal:

---
a:
  b:
    c.d: test
   # ^ here

Some people in the wild like using dots in key names so in order to better see what's a key and what's a sublevel when displaying node paths (imenu, eldoc) it might make sense to allow the user to customise how labels are generated by customising the separator.

After this patch:

(setq yaml-pro-ts-path-element-separator ?·)

would label the node above "here" as a·b·c.d, clearly showing the hierarchy and the key names.

The current separator (dot) is respected and set as default.

Thanks for this! this is a good idea.
