Define Nested Item Style

[Druidefix]

Prior to submitting a new issue make sure to complete these steps:

• [x] Checkout the dev branch and confirm the issue is present there as well. The dev branch contains fixes that may not have been merged to master yet.
• [x] Post the syntax you are using (default/mediawiki/markdown) and your vimwiki settings from your .vimrc
• [x] Provide a detailed description of the problem including steps to reproduce the issue.
• [x] Include the output of :VimwikiShowVersion.

I'm using commit id 4d7a4da, which should be the latest on the dev branch, and the following minimal .vimrc

set nocompatible
filetype off
syntax on

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'vimwiki/vimwiki'
call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on
:let mapleader = " "

let g:vimwiki_list = [{
\ 'syntax': 'markdown',
\ 'ext': '.vmd',
\ }]

to have a nearly simple environment using the markdown syntax. The requested output is

Os: Linux
Vim: 800
Branch: dev
Revision: 4d7a4da
Date: 2021-12-19 00:49:16 -0300

I'm heavily using nested lists to structure my notes in the vimwiki and I'm also using different list item styles to easily see on which level the nested element is, e.g.:

- first level
    + second level
        * third level

When I create this nested list, I'm doing the following based on this cheat sheet:

1. write - first level
2. hit enter
3. go to second level with [ctrl] + [t]
4. go to normal mode with [esc], switch the style with gl+, append with A and continue.

Is there a possibility to define some item style dependent on indention level, e.g., ['-', '+', '*']?

This sounds possible but also complicated.

That said, do note (from :help vimwiki-list-manipulation):

Use gl followed by the desired symbol to change the symbol of a list item or                                     
create one. Type gL and the symbol to change all items of the current list.                                      
For default syntax, the following types are available:                                                           
    - hyphen                                                                                                     
    * asterisk                                                                                                   
    # hash                                                                                                       
    1. number with period                                                                                        
    1) number with parenthesis                                                                                   
    a) lower-case letter with parenthesis                                                                        
    A) upper-case letter with parenthesis                                                                        
    i) lower-case Roman numerals with parenthesis                                                                
    I) upper-case Roman numerals with parenthesis

Hi @Druidefix, thank you for the idea.

As @brennen said above, the cost is high. I would add that the payback is not so high. I do not know how to prioritize issues for the moment and we have more that 150 issues on the list. I honestly liked the idea, but I prefer to close this in order to get a better visibility on the issues we cannot procrastinate. Sorry for that.

Closing as won't do.
