same line \begin, \end behavior is counterlogical

[ArborealAnole]

When embedding an environment within a single line such as \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{bmatrix} LaTeX Workshop unnecessarily de-indents the line upon typing the second {. If the line is then re-indented manually, Workshop will indent the subsequent line once more than the current line's indentation. Can Workshop be made to instead detect that the \begin matching the \end is on the current line and therefore not de-indent?

It is not clear if we can really fix this in the extension. Indentation is handled by vscode itself, see https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/language-configuration-guide#indentation-rules

It is easy to come up with regex that skip \begin...\end pairs on a single line. I will think of it

Ensuring that the line after \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{bmatrix} is not indented is now properly fixed. This should also work fine with nested \begins. For instance, a single indentation is issued after

\begin{equation}\begin{cases} x \\ y \end{cases}

However, ensuring that the \end{ in \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{bmatrix} does not decrease indentation is more delicate. There is no way to detect that a \end is preceded by the matching \begin. I hope only matching ^\s*\\end{ will make everyone happy. Btw, this is approach used by the html mode,

Thank you for the quick attention. This solution should work well for my purposes.
