Markdown Automatic Bullet Points

An open-source "mini-extension" for Visual Studio Code which automatically adds bullet points when editing in Markdown.

Features

• Automatically inserts bullet when moving to the next line with the Enter key
• Automatically removes the bullet when if the bulleted line contains no other text (typically if you press Enter twice)
• Supports -, *, and + as bullet characters
• Detects language changes and disposes the type event listener when no longer needed to reduce resource use

Usage

• Press Enter to automatically insert a bullet on the next line
• Press Enter or Backspace to remove a blank bulleted line
• Alternatively, create a new line without a bullet by pressing Ctrl+Enter
