Syntax Highlighting

Customization

If the colors and looks of the syntax highlighting is not correct or as fancy as you want to, you can try to edit the tokenColorCustomizations in the user settings.

{
    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "textMateRules": [{
            // Replace this with the scope you want to edit.
            // Available scopes are:
            // - markup.other.task.title.xit
            // - markup.other.task.checkbox.open.xit
            // - markup.other.task.checkbox.ongoing.xit
            // - markup.other.task.checkbox.checked.xit
            // - markup.other.task.checkbox.obsolete.xit
            // - markup.other.task.description.closed.xit
            // - markup.other.task.priority.xit
            // - markup.other.task.date.xit
            // - markup.other.task.tag.xit
            "scope": "markup.other.task.checkbox.open.xit",
            "settings": {
                // Customize open checkbox color
                "foreground": "#00FF00",
                // ... and the fontStyle
                "fontStyle": "bold"
            }
        }]
    }
}

Strikethrough Not Working?

If closed tasks (completed/obsolete) are not striketroughed, then you may want to explicitly specify that the strikethrough scope is striketroughed. This is happening because your theme did not specify the striketrough rule.

{
    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "[Theme That Is Not Working]": {
            "textMateRules": [
                {
                    "scope": "markup.strikethrough",
                    "settings": {
                        "fontStyle": "strikethrough"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Shortcuts

The extension provides shortcuts for toggling/shuffling checkbox state. The shortcuts are configured by default as shown below:

• ctrl+space - Toggle checkboxes if available, else trigger editor suggestions.
• ctrl+alt+x - Toggle all selected checkboxes.
• ctrl+alt+d - Shuffle all selected checkboxes. This will shift the checkbox state to ' ' -> '@' -> '~' -> 'x'.

Snippets

• u - Unchecked ([ ] )
• a/@ - Ongoing ([@] )
• o/~ - Obsolete ([~] )
• x - Checked ([x] )
