Add some way to pick from pico-8 glyphs
mika76 opened this issue · comments
It's useful to use the especially when listening to buttons - so having some sort of quick-pick or something would really help
I don't understand the request. Can you provide more details? What glyphs are you referring to? And what did you have in mind for a "quick-pick"?
I mean the icons you can place when pressing shift in pico-8 https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/P8SCII symbols, hashes, etc...
not sure about how - maybe snippets, or some sort of clickable window? Anything to make it easy 😊
I see. Not sure how to do this. It'd definitely be a cool feature though!
I came up with this snippet file - maybe you can try incorporate it into the extension if you'd like. Basically you just need to start typing p8scii
and the selection should popup. Also I only included the things with names, I have no idea how I would include the other japanese characters...
PS: I copy pasted the names and characters from https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/P8SCII and have not tested them all, but the ones I tried worked...

I like the idea of adding the snippets. If you submit a PR adding these snippets to syntaxes/snippets.json
, I'll be happy to merge it.
I changed some of the shortcuts to make them shorter and then added these suggestions in c7d3f75 .
Not released yet -- I'll make a comment when it is.
Fix released just now with 0.4.10
