Contributions are greatly appreciated. Please fork this repository and open a pull request to add snippets, make grammar tweaks, etc.

Autocompletion

Autocompletion uses the autocomplete-plus package, that is bundled in Atom. In the autocomplete-plus settings pane Default Provider should be set to Symbol. The Minimum Word Length setting indicates when autocompletion is about to be triggered.

Parser error reports

In case it is not accessible from PATH, the Ledger binary should be set in the ledger-language package settings pane. It will be used to silently check the journal file anytime it is saved. If there are parser errors, a notification is shown.

Transaction highlighting

Uncleared and pending transactions are highlighted by default. To customize the highlighting, call the Application: Open Your Stylesheet command to open styles.less and define the new highlighting styles there.

For example, add this snippet to disable highlighting of uncleared transactions:

atom-text-editor::shadow .ledger-transaction-uncleared .region {
  background-color: transparent;
}
