TODO:

Should do:

• Update videos and images to show 2.0.0 behvaior
• Test performance on slow PCs.
• Don't clear ranges when moving to another file.
• Fix bug: Line copying (alt+up/down) creates undoStops
  • LOTS OF STUFF CREATES UNDOSTOPS! WHY??? WHY VSCODE?????

Could do:

• Improve the publish script.
• Performance
  • Parsing many lines halts the application. I.e. if you have a color block with a very large number of lines.
• Command to convert current codes with comment on top to color block.
  • Change current command to do this?
• Show ranges on minimap. (is this possible?)
• Change expand on style range if possible
  • Meaning: Make adding/removing newlines smooth and quick.
• Add optional pattern such as stripes to the background.
  • Set as 2nd argument.
  • Good reference: https://www.magicpattern.design/tools/css-backgrounds
  • Patterns:
    • # -> Boxes
    • ## -> Gingham
    • / -> Spaced stripes
    • // -> Tight stripes
    • w -> ZigZag/chevron
    • . -> Polkadot
    • [] -> Checkerboard
    • <> -> Rhombus
• Support light theme better.
  • Make comments darker instead of brighter.
    • Change settings and variable to not say "brighter"/"lighter".
• Improve overlapping ranges text colors.
  • Currently the text looks bland as multiple ranges alpha blend.
• Add optional left bar.
• Add opacity to hex color (make 4/8 hex color len OK)
• Setting to store color ranges in a separate file. For myfile.py a 2nd file myfile.py.cbc would be used.
• Change wrap option to be separate for pre or post line. (shrink left and shrink right)

Probably won't do:

• Change the syntax.
• Make syntax configurable.
