# RainbowColors
**RainbowColors** is an extension that changes the foreground or background color rainbowly after a certain interval or a few keystrokes have been made.
## Why???
I created this extension because I wanted to learn or expand my knowledge of the following points:
- Have fun developing vscode extensions with vscode.
- TypeScript
- Compiling with tsc
- esbuild (bundling extensions used in VS Code for Web environments)
- VSCode Testing

## Feature
The `rainbowColors.event` setting defines which event triggers the RainbowColors function. This event determines when the foreground or background color changes in a rainbow pattern. The available options for this setting are `interval` and `keystrokes`.
When set to `interval`, the colors will change at a specified time interval.
When set to `keystrokes`, the colors will change after a certain number of keystrokes have been made.
You can customize this setting according to your preference by modifying the value of `rainbowColors.event` in the extension's settings.
### Start RainbowColors
Starts the rainbow colors animation.
**Shortcut:** `strg + alt + r, s`
**Command:** `RainbowColors: Start.`
### Stop RainbowColors
Stops the rainbow colors animation and restores the original color customizations `workbench.colorCustomizations`.
**Shortcut:** `strg + alt + r, e`
**Command:** `RainbowColors: Stop.`
### Pause RainbowColors
Pauses the rainbow colors animation.
The current color remains the same.
**Shortcut:** `strg + alt + r, p`
**Command:** `RainbowColors: Pause.`
### Remove RainbowColors

**Shortcut:** `strg + alt + r, q`
**Command:** `RainbowColors: Remove.`
