[x]it! for Sublime Text

This Sublime Package provides syntax-highlighting, shortcuts, and auto-completions for [x]it! files.

[x]it! demo

Features

  • Syntax highlighting
  • Shortcut commands for toggling the item status
  • Smart completions for due dates
    • Type e.g. 5w and have auto-complete resolve it to the date in 5 weeks from now. Works with d (days), w (weeks), m (months), and y (years), and any number prefix.
  • Some sensible default settings (e.g. indentation style)

Configuration

Keybindings for Commands

The following commands are available for you to put into your Default.sublime-keymap file. The key combination is up to you, of course.

[
	// Toggle checkbox status of the item.
	// It cycles through the statuses given in the
	// `xit_toggle` setting.
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+t"], "command": "xit_toggle" },

	// Set item status to checked [x]
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+x"], "command": "xit_check" },
	
	// Set item status to open [ ]
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+o"], "command": "xit_open" },

	// Set item status to ongoing [@]
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+a"], "command": "xit_ongoing" },

	// Set item status to obsolete [~]
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+n"], "command": "xit_obsolete" },
]

Settings (Syntax Specific)

The following settings can be overriden via your syntax-specific xit.sublime-settings file. The values shown below are the default ones.

{
	// Auto-save after toggling checkboxes (via the commands `xit_check`, etc.).
	"xit_auto_save": true,

	// The checkbox statuses that the `xit_toggle` command
	// should cycle through.
	"xit_toggle": ["[ ]", "[x]"],
}

Syntax Highlighting / Colour overrides

The pre-defined syntax highlighting should look meaningful in most available colour schemes.

For [x]it! specific customisations or fixes, you can specify the following colour overrides:

  • markup.other.title.xit For the item group title
  • markup.other.checkbox.open.xit For an open checkbox: [ ]
  • markup.other.checkbox.checked.xit For a checked checkbox: [x]
  • markup.other.checkbox.ongoing.xit For an ongoing checkbox: [@]
  • markup.other.checkbox.obsolete.xit For an obsolete checkbox: [~]
  • markup.other.priority.exclamation.xit For the exclamation mark of the priority: !
  • markup.other.priority.dot.xit For the dot of the priority: .
  • markup.other.description.xit For the item description
  • markup.other.due_date.xit For the due date within the description: -> 2022-03-27
  • markup.other.tag.name.xit For a tag: #example
  • markup.other.tag.value.xit For the value of a tag: #example=value

Additionally, you can reference the following meta scopes to make adjustments based on the item status:

  • meta.item.status.open.xit
  • meta.item.status.checked.xit
  • meta.item.status.ongoing.xit
  • meta.item.status.obsolete.xit

Please also see here for a complete colouring example based on a dark scheme.

You can also configure Sublime to always use a specific colour scheme with [x]it!. This is especially useful if the default colours don’t work out in your regular colour scheme. You can specify this in your syntax-specific xit.sublime-settings file:

{
	// Always use the Monokai scheme for [x]it!
	"color_scheme": "Monokai.sublime-color-scheme"
}
