Markdown Clever Lists README

Continue, indent and outdent markdown lists, intelligently changing marker styles based on the rest of the document and user settings.

Extension usage demo

Features

Continue numbered and unnumbered markdown lists by pressing Enter at the end.
Pressing Enter on empty list item reduces list level by one (change markdown-clever-lists.blankListItemBehaviour to disable this behaviour).
Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ indents and outdents.
Marker styles are kept consistent across levels.
Marker styles are guessed from the rest of the document, with configurable defaults.
Supported styles: -, *, +, 1., 1), checkboxes (e.g. - [ ])

This extension contributes the following settings:

markdown-clever-lists.blankListItemBehaviour: Set the behaviour when pressing Enter on blank list items.
markdown-clever-lists.defaultMarkers: Configure the default list marker structure.

Assumes that the list marker structure follows the tab size. Indenting and outdenting shifts the indentation level by the tab size, and selects the most appropriate marker for that tab size.
Indenting and outdenting is done with Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ (or Cmd on Mac). If you have different keybindings for indenting and outdenting you'll need to change these too. Indenting by pressing Tab on selected text is not supported.

Markdown All in One has support for continuing lists, indenting and outdenting (and much more), but without changing marker styles automatically
Markdown Continue allows continuing lists by pressing Enter, but has not indent or outdent functionality.
