Is it possible to change the parenthesis for another symbol for the scope?

In my company we used to use [ ] instead of ( ). Is there any way to change the symbol?

@Adria75 Currently, this plugin is really strict on Conventional Commits. By that I mean that the lexer & parser strictly follow the convention.

What I'd try to understand is why you are using [ instead of the standard (.
If there is a valid reason, I can consider allowing other symbols (by some hidden setting).

Well, in our case we are a small company with a programming team that throw the years have been increasing. After 10 years of being 3 or 4 programmers, right now that we are 8 we are doing some changes to work all the same way. We have been implementing scrum for the last year and the next step is to define a stantard for the commit messages.

After search for a different options of commit messages to propose to the team to choose one of them, we have chosen Conventional Commits.

We have been writting our commit messages with a "scope" between [ for all these years, so they asked me if it is possible to change the parenthesis in order to keep that part.

I understand that the pluggin is strict on Conventional Commits and that the customization I am asking for may have no much sense, so if it's not possible to add it, no problem xD

Thank you for your quick response btw

Or provide a template for generated commit message so it's customizable.
