Colored Bookmarks #243
Comments
Hi @andro23 , Do you mean different colors for each bookmark, or define grouping with colors? |
Hi Alessandro, first off, I want to thank you so much for the great work! The plugin is super awesome! |
Thank you @andro23 for your kind words. I'm glad the extension is being useful! Bookmark groups has been requested in #159 but at the time the request was more a wizard/step by step manager, and the issue ended up out of scope. More recently, I added Labels to bookmarks, which allows you to give meaningful names for each bookmark. I believe that adding colored tags to bookmarks would be a good improvement for navigation/categorization, but I still need to think about its UX. How you could add and see them in the Side Bar and Command Palete. I'm not sure about the jumping (custom keyboard) because extension's can't create commands in runtime (it must be pre-registered). What do you think? |
Hi Alessandro, thanks for the quick reply! Regarding the keys, is it possible to pre-reserve a certain key combination + 0...9 (ex. ctrl + alt + k + 0, ..., ctrl + alt + k + 9)? If so, users may be given the ability to define the color of each of the 10 groups or stay with the default colors that you choose ;) |
It would be possible to create N commands, and associate each one to some specific bookmark group, but this would create the limitation of having just N groups. Unfortunately, it’s not a sustainable solution. I’ll take a look if there are new ways to do this ;-) Hope this helps |
Hi Alessandro, that is the drawback I was thinking of unfortunately. I will leave that to your creativity then ;) |
I noticed that https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-numbered-bookmarks has the feature to change icon fill. Will this be ported to vscode-bookmarks any time soon? The reason I ask is because the default blue is quite similar to VS Code's default UI blue. |
Hi @oatymart , It's something that I want for the upcoming releases, but I can't say when. In fact I would like to port that, but also apply the recent Color contribution API that is available. Doing so, Color Themes (and users) could define the different color attributes using the same color syntax from VS Code itself 😄 . In the meantime, you can change the icon itself using Hope this helps |
I’m starting to play with the grouping support idea, and just remembered about this issue. At this point, I’m not sure it will be possible, but I’ll try to combine both. Something like:
Let’s see how it goes 😁 |
This would be awesome. It would also be great to be able to "cycle" through the defined tags when toggling a bookmark (optional of course - or a separate command). And then also be able to group the side bar by the tags. I was thinking it might be nice to have say 3 default tags/colors -- high priority (red), medium/normal priority (blue), low priority (grey?) |
It would be great to have the ability to create colored bookmarks and be able to use a different key combination to create each (ex. ctrl + D + 1, ctrl + D + 2, etc.) Thanks!!
