paste enhanced

• online docs: https://dzylikecode.github.io/Inspire-VSCodeExt-Paste-Image/#/

It works the same as Paste Image does. What I focus on is to make it work well on WSL and Windows and to use ctrl + v to paste images instead of ctrl + alt + v.

paste anywhere if you want.

Features

• use ctrl + v to paste images from the clipboard when writing markdown.
• support delete image file in markdown
• support to create an empty image to draw, which is very useful for the extension Draw.io Integration and Excalidraw - Visual Studio Marketplace
• support edit image with specific App
• sometimes Github Copilot will suggest a good image name, so it's very nice to support to create an image read from clipboard (or an empty image if no image contained in clipboard) with the name suggested by Github Copilot
• support typst
• support defining render pattern according to the file type (minimatch)

Extension Settings

• mdPasteEnhanced.renderPattern:string

  The pattern of image url.

  • default: ![](${imagePath})

  You can use variable:

  • ${imagePath}: the path of image file.

• mdPasteEnhanced.confirmPattern: enum

  which pattern to be confirmed when paste image

  • None

    show dialog with image full path to be confirmed

  the map of image file to be edited

Known Issues

The plugin Markdown All in One will block the function that you paste image when selecting text. It's better to remove the condition that triggers paste ctrl+v in the shortcut settings of Markdown All in One. Don't worry, this plugin will call the paste function of Markdown All in One. I just think it's a bit of a hassle, why they can't work together without realizing the exsistence of each other.
