About Paste and Indent
Paste and Indent for Visual Studio Code
This extension adds *limited* support for pasting and indenting code. Much like SublimeText's paste_and_indent.
Install
Via Quick Open:
1. Download, install and open VS Code 2. Press cmd+p to open the Quick Open dialog 3. Type ext install paste-and-indent 4. Click the *Install* button, then the *Enable* button
Via the Extensions tab:
1. Click the extensions tab or press cmd+shift+x 2. Search for *paste and indent* 3. Click the *Install* button, then the *Enable* button
Via the command line:
1. Open a command-line prompt 2. Run code --install-extension Rubymaniac.vscode-paste-and-indent
Usage
This extension provides one command:
which does all the work. Your job is to bind it to whatever key combination you like (note however that this command is not available via the Command Pallette cmd+shift+p).
An example is (change default *paste* with *paste and indent*):
*keybindings.json*
Note: Reverted to the built-in command editor.action.clipboardPasteAction when the editor has lost focus (the case with cmd+F and then paste)
Limitations
This plugin has limitations regarding the extent at which correct indentation can be performed. Problems arise when one tries to paste code with it's first line not on the same indentation level with the last. Fortunatelly this is not a usual case but if you find it doesn't work as you have expected then try enabling the setting: pasteAndIndent.selectAfter.
What it does is that after trying to indent properly it selects the text with probably incorrect indentation so that you can easily hit cmd+[ or cmd+].
In order to enable it you have to open your *User Settings* (hit cmd+,) or the *Workspace Settings* and there add:
