What issue do you have?
Somewhere along the way, the functionality to balance/wrap backticks on selected text stopped working. Not sure exactly which version this happened in, but somewhere betweeen v3.0.15 and v3.1.23
Losing this his has been very noticable to me as I'd built a muscle memory for selecting a string of text to format as code in my daily journeys, but this suddenly stopped working.
Expected behaviour:
- select string of text (ie: bob)
- press character type to wrap start and end of string with (ie: quote, backtick, etc)
- string is now wrapped in the character type (ie: `bob` or "bob" or [bob] )
Actual behaviour:
- select string of text (ie: bob)
- press backtick character to wrap sting in backticks
- selected string is removed and replaced with a single backtick
I've taken the time to check this out in both versions v3.0.15 and v3.1.23 and it seems the functionality still works for wrapping other quotes and brackets, but seems to have stopped working specfically for the backticks.
| v3.0.15 | v3.1.23 | format | character |
|---|---|---|---|
| PASS | PASS | wrap with: { } | open curly brace |
| PASS | PASS | wrap with: ( ) | open parenthesis |
| PASS | PASS | wrap with: | open square bracket |
| PASS | FAIL | wrap with: ` ` | backtick |
| PASS | PASS | wrap with: " " | double quote |
| PASS | PASS | wrap with: ' ' | single quote |
This is somewhat related to an older post which discussed this selection wrapping
