Markdown List Continuation in Helix
One of the gripes I have with Helix is not having automatic list continuation when writing Markdown.
Until last week, when I found out that there’s a clever trick to achieve it, namely adding this to ~/.config/helix/languages.toml
[[language]]
name = "markdown"
comment-tokens = ["-", "+", "*", "1.", ">", "- [ ]"]
Note that when you have an ordered list, the trick will put the same number (e.g., 1.) on each line. That’s not a problem though because they will still be rendered properly with ascending numbers.
