Settings

Replace symbols can be customized:

  • simpleaccents.symbolCycles: Array of cycle objects pairing a key (the replacement source) with any number of target symbols. (To use multi-character replacement symbols, provide an array of strings for the cycle property.)
    "simpleaccents.symbolCycles": 
    [   { "key": "a", "cycle":  "áàāâãäåą" },
        { "key": "b", "cycle":  "ßƀƃƅ" },
        { "key": "c", "cycle":  "çćċč" },
        { "key": "d", "cycle":  "ďđ" },
        { "key": "e", "cycle":  "èéêëēĕėęěȅȇȩə" },
        { "key": "g", "cycle":  "ĝğġģǥǧ" },
        { "key": "--", "cycle":  [ "–", "—" ] },
    ]
    

Known Issues and TODO

  • Cycle might be unstable on your rare symbols in "cycle" value. To avoid this problem, use array definition instead. Example: "cycle": ["á", "à", ... ]
  • No open/close quotes auto detect
  • No extension icon
