Draw, for the VSCode family

Draw an SVG image with a mouse or pen.

NOTE: This is an alpha project; please open an issue for any bugs, questions, or ideas!

Usage

Open a file (in a supported format) and run Draw: Edit Current Line by either

• right clicking on the line or
• opening the command palette (F1 or Ctrl-Shift-P) and type draw edit

The currently supported formats are

• markdown
• asciidoc
• restructuredtext

Keybindings

Consider binding the main command (perhaps to a stylus, if available). For example, the tail button on my stylus sends the Super + Escape key sequence:

{
    "key": "meta+Escape",
    "command": "draw.editCurrentLine"
}

NOTE: you may have to disable, or rebind, conflicting keys in your OS settings.

Settings

The following settings are available (prefixed with draw).

setting	description	default	example
directory	where to save files	""	${workSpaceFolder}/assets
buttons	add custom buttons to the toolbar	[]	see below

directory

To save contents inline, set draw.directory to null.

The following variables are currently supported:

• workspaceFolder

custom buttons

To add custom buttons to the toolbar, add an entry to the draw.buttons array in settings.json; for example,

{
    "draw.buttons": [
        {
            "icon": "beer",
            "title": "pour another",
            "function": "console.log('hooray!')"
        }
    ]
}

search the Font Awesome set for an icon name

color scheme

The preset color selections are defined by VSCode's chart colors and so can be changed in settings.json.
