Quite often when writing syntax tests, I don't add any assertions for whitespace (unless I am adding a negation for the previous assertion to confirm the scope is no longer active), as whitespaces typically don't receive any special scopes. Therefore, when I have a file like:
and I create a new test line and press Tab, I then have to press Space^ to get assertions for the next non-whitespace span.
This PR allows me to set a new preference called
syntax_test.skip_whitespace
totrue
, so that I can just press Tab and end up with:Hopefully other people will also find this useful :)
