Usage

Build a hierarchy

Start with a root item:

1. Project

Press Enter to create 2. . Press Tab on the new item to make it a child:

1. Project
  1.1. ␠

Move a subtree

Tab indents the current item and all numbered descendants below it. Shift+Tab outdents the same subtree. A multi-line selection moves as one operation.

Convert numbering to plain text

Press Shift+Tab on a root item:

1. Notes

becomes:

Notes

Its descendants are lifted and the remaining block is recalculated.

Commands

Open the Command Palette and search for Nested Ordered Numbering:

• Insert nested ordered numbering — number selected plain-text lines.
• Delete nested ordered numbering — remove prefixes from selected lines.
• Renumber nested ordered block — repair and normalize the current block.

The plugin intentionally does not claim global default hotkeys. Assign preferred shortcuts under Settings → Hotkeys.

Parser rule

The final period and following whitespace are mandatory:

^[\t ]*(\d+(?:\.\d+)*\.)[\t ]+
