Select Pasted Text

Overview

The "Select Pasted Text" extension automatically selects text that you paste into a file. This functionality helps you quickly modify or move the pasted content without manually selecting it.

Features

• Automatically selects pasted text in any file.
• Works only when the cursor is within a file, ensuring it does not interfere with other parts of VS Code (like the terminal or debug console).
• Binds to the default paste shortcut (Ctrl+V for Windows/Linux and Cmd+V for Mac).
• When inserting a character, whitespace (space) or newline (enter), the new character won't delete the selected code. Instead, the new character will be inserted at the end of the selection. This only works for the selection of the pasted test.

Usage

• Paste text using Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac) in any text file.
• The extension will automatically select the pasted text.
• If you insert any character, whitespace (space) or newline (enter), the new character will be inserted at the end of the selection instead of replacing the selection with the character
