Notes

For users with language syntax like TypeScript

Fortunately, this extension will probably work generally comfortably in the symbol bracktes type language without any special configuration.

Even for this type of language, details may require the setting of bracketLens.languageConfiguration. I would like to accept it as the default setting if you can tell me the setting information in the issue or pull request for other users in your language.

For users with language syntax like Ruby

I apologize for the inconvenience, but for word bracket type languages, all word brackets must be set to bracketLens.languageConfiguration.

I would like to accept it as the default setting if you can tell me the setting information in the issue or pull request for other users in your language.

For users with language syntax like Python

Unfortunately, this extension is not useful for indented scope type languages.

If your language is this type of language, I would like to have this extension disabled in that language by default if you let us know in an issue or pull request.

Keyboard shortcut Settings

You can edit keyboard shortcuts by keybindings.json ( Mac: Code -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, Windows / Linux: File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts).

Command name on keybindings.json is diffarent from on Command Pallete. See below table.

|on Command Pallete|on keybindings.json|default Keyboard shortcut| |-|-|-| |Bracket Lens: Toggle Mute|bracketLens.toggleMute| |Bracket Lens: Toggle Mute All|bracketLens.toggleMuteAll| |Bracket Lens: Update Brackets|bracketLens.updateBrackets| |Bracket Lens: Report Profile|bracketLens.reportProfile|
