Bike 2 :: Adjustable smart row types?

I personally disable Bike 2 Preview (254) Settings > AutoCorrect > Use smart row types, just because one of its autocorrections happens to get in my way.

( {-, *, +} all get mapped to Unordered lists , and the inclusion there of (+) clashes with my note-taking habit of starting many notes with conjunctions (and, so, but etc), and my preference for abbreviating {in addition, also, what's more} etc down to a quickly typed and visually clear initial “+” )

Not a priority, and we can script custom autocorrects of our own, but just in case any one else is getting tripped by wanting to start some lines with an initial literal “+”, I wonder whether it would seem sensible to allow for some customisation, via UI, of the smart row-type autocorrects, or perhaps just specifically allowing us to prune the generous provision of {-, *, +} for Unordered down to whichever specific character (or two) we happen to reach for in that context ?

(“-” happens to works well, in my case)

Yeah, I think I added all those types in the excitement of “markdowny!”, but I only ever use the -, and well I only use that for testing mostly since I rarely use unordered items. Instead of preferences I think I will just remove the + and * cases. These are autocorrect shortcuts, not markdown, Jesse! :slight_smile:

Also, I think you probably know, but for others:

You can reverse out of all these autocorrect cases by pressing Delete right after the autocorrection happens. When you do that you’ll get back the original character that you entered.

Noo, please spare my

That and dash is the most common MD standards, I believe. So if you want fewer, keep those two.

Ok, I’m just removing + then. Not sure I love these design decisions, but don’t want to add special configuration at this point.

I agree with leaving the * it is indeed the markdown standard for an unordered list.
