A silly VSCode extension that changes the title separator to some random unicode/emoji

Title Separator Cycle - VSCode extension

A super useful addition to you workbelt! Using the brand spankin' shiny new feature of VSCode 1.45 (April 2020): window.titleSeparator (Dankeschön muuvmuuv!)

The reviewers are ecstatic:

"eh?"

"Wow. really?"

"You'll just do anything to delay your actual work, eh?"

"Do you still sell ritalin? I've an exam coming up"

Details

See those terrible dashes between the file name and the workspace name on the title bar? (If you kept the default settings, I mean) The gods have smiled on us and allowed us to change them, thanks to the important initiative of a brave few. Blessed be microsoft, giver of community driven tools, who ask nothing in return but huge profits. Amen.

Uh, anyway this extension changes that separator to a random/cycled one from a list of cool and edgy unicode & emoji, currently stored in a separate (characters.json)[https://github.com/LemuelCushing/vscode-title-separator-cycle/blob/master/src/characters.json] file. This fact might change, because it's probably a stupid way to do it.

The location of the separators is set by the native VSCode Window: Title (window.title) setting

Commands

Toggle change upon startup

Command: toggleChange
Toggles run on startup

Change separator (Random)

Command: changeSeparatorRandom
Even though the extension is called cycle, it randomizes by default, because random is magic!

What will it be next? Run bets with your friends! Could this become a terrible drinking game? Perhaps!

Change separator (Cycle)

Command: changeSeparatorCycle
Cycles over the character list one by one (Even jumps to the start of the array! The thrill!)

Command: chooseSeparator
Manually select a separator from the list of available chars
