This is reproducible installing via Git AND package control (it's LIVE 🎉 btw).

When I enter a .xit file, if I try to start a checkbox (such as typing "[" to a new xit file), it gives the error "Unable to open res://Packages/xit/macros/Insert Open Checkbox.sublime-macro".

Resolves https://github.com/jotaen/xit-sublime/issues/4.

Summary

Add new command xit_toggle that toggles the status of a checkbox. By default, it toggles between [ ] and [x], but the sequence can be customised via the xit_toggle setting.

Hi!

I have played with xit! for Sublime a bit, and discovered that the due dates had no syntax support for Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 yet. I have taken the liberty to add that.

While I was taking a stab at the regex, I also made leading zeros optional, so a date like 2022-5-1 would be simply read as 2022-05-01. (Not sure if this actually violates the specs, but I think it's convenient.)

I also added some sanity checks: Months must be 1-12, days 1-31, week numbers 1-53, quarters 1-4. This should catch most invalid dates, if not all of them. The limit I placed on years is somewhat arbitrary, although 1970-2100 should work for most cases. I finally disallowed mixing slashes and hyphens in dates, it's either one or the other.

Feel free to use as much or as little of my suggestions as you want; it's working fine locally.

Take care, Ingmar

⚠️ This package is not yet available via Sublime Package Control, as it’s still under review. It will be available within the next few days.

For testing purposes, you can temporarily install it by hand in the meantime:

1. Download this repository
2. Unpack the downloaded .zip file
3. Rename the unzipped folder from xit-sublime-main to xit!
4. In the Sublime Menu, click Preferences → Browse Packages
5. Move the xit! folder to that location

Great idea with xit, really love idea of saving everything in a plain text file!

I've immediately installed a plugin for sublime and tried this out. Unfortunately, I got a follow result:

Formatting style/coloring doesn't play with my color_scheme.

Here is my current preferences.sublime-settings :

{
...
"color_scheme": "Packages/Nord/Nord.sublime-color-scheme",
..
}

Workaround

Changing color-scheme helps

Monokai theme already looks workable

But I've noticed, that Mariana theme is closer to my original Nord theme. So I'll stick with this one for a time being.

Expected result

I am uncertain whether fix should be implemented in xit-sublime plugin or this is an issue related to nord scheme itself.

But since this plugin is newer, I've decided to start off with writing this issue. I'd love to make this plugin play well with my original scheme.

Any advice how I could do that? What could be the problem?

Setup details:

Sublime version 4126 OS: Manjaro OS (Arch based)

If you have a group of items like this:

Some todos
[ ] One
[ ] Two
[ ] Three

then it would be cool if you could fold (collapse) all the items if you don’t want to see them.

I’m not sure this is possible by default in Sublime (via the little triangle-icon in the side bar).

Otherwise it might be an option to write a macro that uses the regular “fold” command from the menu.

In Sublime Text, it’s possible to make packages work in embedded contexts, e.g. as xit code block within a Markdown file.

That way, you’d have proper syntax highlighting, and maybe even the snippets and special commands would work (though I’m not sure about this).

One of the most wanted features in the [x]it! file format is nested sub-items, so e.g.:

[ ] Big project
    [ ] Task 1
    [ ] Task 2
        [ ] Sub-Task of Task 2

I’ve already tried to implement support for this functionality in the Sublime plugin, but without success. Problems include the following:

[x] Big project
        [ ] It shouldn’t be possible to “skip” a level
    [ ] If parent is checked, also mark all subitems as checked, regardless of their status
    It shouldn’t be possible to continue the description of “Big project” here

I wasn’t able to make that happen, but if anyone else would be willing to give this a shot, feel free to create an explorative spike PR.

Regarding the discussion itself, I think it’s important to have a least one working implementation to play around with, in order to assess the technical difficulties better, and in order to get a better feeling for the behaviour and corner cases of nesting.

Similar to how the plugin expands 5d to like -> 2022-05-16, it could also expand 22-5-16 or even 220516 in the same fashion. That way, the eventual formatting will still be spec-compliant, but it’s a bit more convenient to type in.

When an item is done, it could (optionally) be

• just deleted
• or moved to a separate group, e.g.

  Todos
  [ ] Something
  [ ] Some other thing
  
  Done
  [x] Do this
  [x] Do that
  

Both could be somehow configured via the package settings (e.g. for the second option, what the “done” section is called).

Another idea could be to offer some sort of “clean up” command, that does such things on-demand.
