VSCode Markdown Automatic Bullet Points

An open-source "mini-extension" which automatically adds bullet points when editing in Markdown.

Features

  • Automatically inserts bullet when moving to the next line with the Enter key
  • Automatically removes the bullet when if the bulleted line contains no other text (typically if you press Enter twice)
  • Supports -, *, and + as bullet characters
  • Detects language changes and disposes the type event listener when no longer needed to reduce resource use

Usage

  • Press Enter to automatically insert a bullet on the next line
  • Press Enter twice to remove the inserted bullet
  • To create a new line without a bullet, press Ctrl+Enter
