What does it do?\n\t- It toggles the visibility of unnecessary syntax.\n2. Why and when to use it?\n\t- It is easier to read code when there is less syntax.\n\t- You may not use it when you are writing code.\n3. How does it work?\n\t- It uses tokenColors rules along with a window script to synchronize the visibility of syntax.\n\n## Usage\n\n- Install the extension.\n\t- Download the latest vsix asset from the [releases page](https://github.com/kauderk/concise-syntax/releases).\n\t- Install it:\n\t\t- View \u003e Command Palette \u003e `Extensions: Install from VSIX...`\n\t\t- Or with `code --install-extension concise-syntax-0.0.1.vsix`.\n\n- Uninstall the extension.\n\t- View \u003e Command Palette \u003e `Dispose Extension (free memory)`.\n\t\n- Usage\n\t- Open a workspace folder.\n\t- Open a concise-syntax target file with the extension **.tsx**\n\t- An info message will appear `The extension is not calibrated. Shall we calibrate it?` click `Yes`.\n\n- Runtime:\n\t- Then you'll have access to a command palette command `Concise Syntax: Calibrate`\n\t\t- Use this command to manually calibrate the extension to your theme/settings.json.\n\t- When ever you change your workspace theme and the extension is active, you'll be prompted to calibrate the extension or deactivate it.\n\n- Configuration:\n\t- File \u003e Preferences \u003e Settings \u003e Extensions \u003e Concise Syntax\n\t- There, you can tune the opacities and their hierarchy.\n\n## Development\n- Launch the vscode `debugger` with `F5`. A warning will appear `The task \"watch\" cannot be tracked. Make sure to have a problem matcher defined`, click `Remember my choice for this task` and `Debug Anyway`.\n\t- Why does this happen? The build script `vite.config.custom.ts` needs to build the extension and the window side. That script doesn't have a problem matcher defined in `.vscode/tasks.json` so vscode doesn't know how to track it. The warning is harmless and can be ignored.\n- To package the extension install `vsce` with `npm install -g vsce` and run `vsce package`.\n\n## Known Issues\n\n- `Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please reinstall.`\n\t- The extension spawns a window script and vscode doesn't like that. That script syncs the window state with the extension.\n\n- Uninstall the extension.\n\t- View \u003e Command Palette \u003e `Dispose Extension (free memory)`.\n\t- Why? The vscode extension api doesn't seem to call it's uninstall hook consistently. So, the extension needs to be disposed manually. :'(\n\n- This extension is a workaround for a feature that is not yet available in VSCode.\n\t- Which is the ability to toggle tokenColors and or apply partial theme rules.\nIt is highly over engineered for what it does: toggle css styles on and off.\nThat being said, it is a proof of concept about how to communicate between the extension and the window.\n\t\n\t\u003cdetails\u003e\n\t\t\u003csummary\u003eMore\u003c/summary\u003e\n\t\tGlims of hope\t- The following shows how simple it could be to toggle tokenColors.\n\t\n\thttps://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/157087#issuecomment-1225889161\n\t```json\n\t\"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations\": {\n\t\t\"[Extension]\": {\n\t\t\t\"rules\": {\n\t\t\t\t\"veriable.readonly\": \"#95E6CD\"\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\t\"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations\": {\n\t\t\"[Extension]\": {\n\t\t\t\"enabled\": false\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\t```\n\t\u003c/details\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkauderk%2Fconcise-syntax","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkauderk%2Fconcise-syntax","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkauderk%2Fconcise-syntax/lists"}
