Change Log

All notable changes to this extension (newest first):

Version 1.1.1

  • Added configuration option (insertseq.sortedOutput) to enable default insertion in sorted order (default: false) — can be changed with the $ option.

  • Added configuration option (insertseq.reversedOutput) to enable default insertion in reversed order (default: false) — can be changed with the ! option.

  • Deprecated configuration option (insertseq.sortOrder): still works, but might be deleted in future versions. As "reverse" always implies "sorted" output, this option was not ideal. The two separate new options should be used.

  • Fixed issue #31 — the sortOrder configuration was not being used.

Version 1.1.0

  • Added Quoted Template mode: start input with " or ' to embed a sequence inside a fixed text. {} is the placeholder; the sequence definition follows the closing quote. Use \{} for a literal {}.

  • Added Backtick Template mode: start input with ` to embed sequences directly inside {…} blocks within the template text. Multiple {…} blocks per template are supported — each block has its own independent sequence definition. Use \{ / \} for literal braces.

  • Added \t escape: typing \t anywhere in the input (sequence values, template text, own lists, etc.) inserts a real tab character. The preview visualizes tabs using the editor's configured tab width.

  • Added a small "What's New" notification for major and minor updates; it can be dismissed for the current version.

  • Fixed missing output formatting within expressions.

Version 1.0.8

  • Fixed an issue with date option handling.

  • Fixed a minor bug when the original sequence is used.

  • Fixed a minor bug with the debug-mode switch.

  • Updated packages to the latest versions.

Version 1.0.7

  • Added a configuration option (insertseq.previewStatus) to enable or disable the live sequence preview (default: true)

  • Improved identifier parsing: ignore content inside parentheses, double quotes, and single quotes when identifying options

  • Added EXAMPLES.md with live GIF examples

  • Fixed a bug in replaceableValues so start and step values in the input are respected if reasonable

  • Fixed a bug in checkStopExpression

  • Fixed regular-expression bugs

  • Fixed a bug with leading characters in decimals

  • Refactored extension.ts

  • Updated the vscode engine in package.json to 1.106.0

Version 1.0.6

  • Quickfix: disable default debug mode

Version 1.0.5

  • Added support for user-defined (predefined) functions (via config files) using the start char "=" or "func[tion]:" — similar to expressions but can be predefined and reused.

  • Added readable starter names in addition to start chars (for example: "predef[ined]seq[uence]:", "own[seq[uence]]:", "date:", "expr[ession]:", "alpha[bet]:"). Remember the trailing colon when using the long names.

  • Fixed a bug in the evaluation function. If you use the expression option, consider placing it at the end of your input — some symbols can conflict with other start chars or options (for example, * is used for both frequency and multiplication in expressions).

Version 1.0.4

  • Web version is now working
  • New configuration option "debug" for internal use

Version 1.0.3

  • Fixed regular expression to run in Linux environments/containers

Version 1.0.2

  • Removed web version as it did not work (hopefully temporarily until the problem is found)

Version 1.0.1

  • Added activationEvents in package.json for the web version

Version 1.0.0

This is a brand-new version, completely rewritten from scratch with a major version bump.

The most important changes are:

  1. You now see the current sequence as a live preview/decoration before pressing Enter.
  2. The order of the insertion options is no longer fixed — you can provide the options in any order.
  3. In addition to the short delimiter characters used previously, you can now use readable option keywords (for example: steps:, freq:, repeat:, startover:, expr:, stopif:, format:).
  4. You can define predefined lists in your configuration file and use them from any starting point in the list.
  5. If you only need a special list once or twice, you can provide a list inline for a single insertion (thanks to the history command, you can reuse it multiple times).
  6. Several additional configuration options were added (see README.md for a complete list).

Most other commands did not change. 😎

What is missing / no longer available in this version:

  • There is no special insertion mode for months anymore (previously starting with %). You can define your own sequences and lists (including months), but using date sequences is recommended for calendar data.
  • The old "bash-like" history command is gone — use the new insertseq.history command, which shows recent insertions and allows editing.

Commands are described in detail in README.md

Previous version history

  • 0.10.2

    • Changed: Number of leading characters is now consistent, even when starting with negative numbers and later inserting positive numbers.

  • 0.10.1

    • New: "underline" is a new option for leading characters.
    • Changed: Leading characters can appear before any optional negative sign. After the negative sign, numbers are treated numerically; before it, the leading characters fill the block. Negative numbers are handled in a block-oriented way.
    • Fixed: Leading characters were required when the starting number was negative.

  • 0.10.0

    • New: Added new formatting — you can now format with leading zeros, blanks, or dots.
    • New: Added support for date expressions (see README; still in alpha, without expr and stop-expression).
    • New: Two additional configuration variables: insertseq.dateStepUnit and insertseq.dateFormat.
      • dateStepUnit defines the default unit (day, week, month, or year) for one iteration (default: day).
      • dateFormat defines the default output format (default: dd.MM.yyyy). Validation of the output format is not enforced, so if you change it, ensure you use a valid format string.
    • Update: Visible command renamed to "Insert Sequence" (previously "Insert Numbers").
    • Update: Removed the old history insertnums command from package.json.

  • 0.9.7

    • Last-minute fix.

  • 0.9.6

    • (no notes)

  • 0.9.5

    • Update: New placeholder text.
    • Fixed: Spelling corrections in package.json — thanks to @JessePeden.

  • 0.9.4

    • Last-minute fix.

  • 0.9.3

    • New: Added the ability to add months using numbers (integers from 1 to 12).
    • New: Configuration insertseq.insertOrder:
      • cursor will insert the sequence in the click order.
      • sorted will always insert the sequence from the topmost selection down.
    • Fixed: Minor bugs and stability issues.
    • Fixed: Some typos in README.md and CHANGELOG.md.

  • 0.9.2

    • New (experimental): Starting with a semicolon, the sequencer assumes a month and will increment month names. You can format the output with ~l to get long month names.
    • Additional configurations:
      • insertseq.editHistory: default false — if true, history commands are editable before running.
      • insertseq.language: default de — language for month name output (can be changed with [lang] after a month name).
      • insertseq.languageFormat: default s (short version — only the first letters of the month).
    • Fixed: Bug in the syntax definition of random numbers.

  • 0.9.1

    • Fixed: Last-minute bug from 0.9.0.

  • 0.9.0

    • New: Command renamed to insertseq because the command handles full sequences (numbers, letters, expressions, etc.), not just numbers.
    • New: Read configuration for default values:
      • insertseq.start : default start value ("1")
      • insertseq.step : default step ("1")
      • insertseq.cast : default cast ("s")
      • insertseq.centerString : default centering (l for left)
    • Bugfix: Random numbers no longer always start at <start> — fixed to start randomly.
    • Bugfix: Expression mode issues fixed to match the original ideas from James Brooks.

  • 0.6.4

    • Bugfix: The command did not start.

  • 0.6.2

    • Bugfix: Step did not work with decimal numbers — fixed.
    • Update: Minor changes in the README file, especially documentation for formatting.

  • 0.6.1

    • Bugfix: showHistory command in package.json was incorrect.

  • 0.6.0

    • New command: insertnums.showPickHistory (default keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+,)
    • The command shows the history of previously typed commands (stored in global state). With the new option insertnums.editHistory (default: false) you can choose whether to edit the selected command before running it.

  • 0.5.1

    • New feature: Output is by default based on selection order. Use $ to force document order (top→bottom).

  • 0.5.0

    • New features (all changes by Yu [@codingyu] — thanks):
      • History can be shown in an extra window (default: Ctrl+Alt+,). The history window lets you pick a previous command.
      • History is stored via globalState and persists between VS Code sessions.
      • New config insertNums.historyLimit to limit history entries (default: 30).
      • To clear history, you can still use !c in the normal input box (Ctrl+Alt_.).
