How Does This Magic Trick Work? 🪄

MD Prettify is your escape hatch from the chaos of ugly code and petty debates. It’s a Visual Studio Code extension that lets you prettify your source code—visually transforming it into something cleaner and more stylish—without changing a single character of the actual file. Think of it as a makeover for your codebase: all the glamour, none of the refactoring drama.

Settings

Commands

The following commands are available for keybinding:

• mdPrettify.enablePrettySymbols: Flip the magic ON globally.
• mdPrettify.disablePrettySymbols: Kill the vibe (why tho?).
• mdPrettify.togglePrettySymbols: Switch it up whenever you feel like it!

Reveal On

By default, "ugly" text lights up when contacted by a cursor. Customize it with mdPrettify.revealOn globally or per-language with a revealOn setting in the language entry. Here’s the lineup:

• cursor: Symbols shine when your cursor grazes them (default).
• cursor-inside: Glows when your cursor’s chilling inside the symbol.
• active-line: Every symbol on the cursor’s line gets the spotlight.
• selection: Symbols dazzle when selected or cursor-touched.
• none: Keep it stealth—no reveal, just raw code vibes.
