vscode-tabreplacechar README

This is a simple extension for vscode. It does one thing, when tab is pressed, it tries to replace the character before each cursor. A language specific conversion table is used to control the action.

Why this extension

Some languages such as markdown use punctuations to format the text. For example, markdown uses "[]" to enclose link text. This would cause a problem when inputting languages which have a different set of punctuations. A Chinese Input Method would give you "【】" when you type "[]". This extension helps with this problem by using tab to converse the just inputted character from "【" to "[", or from "】" to "]". The conversion can be configured for different languages.

做这个extension的动机是源自一个问题。我用mac拼音输入法编辑markdown的时候，经常需要切换输入法，因为markdown使用很多的半角标点来格式化文本。比如我需要"["的时候，拼音输入法却给我"【"。所以为了输入半角标点，要么切换到英文，要么直接在拼音输入法中输入半角标点（High Sierra支持这个特性）。前一种方案比较麻烦，而后一种方案不符合我的使用习惯。我希望输入中文的时候还是使用中文的全角标点。这个extension很简单，配置好以后，当你输入"【"后，敲击tab健，就可以转化为半角的"["。

            "。": "."
        }
    }
