QuickReplace 📜

The QuickReplace extension helps you create VSCode completion suggestions, which will be replaced by the content of the pattern you have defined.

Features

• Completion Suggestions: Offers user-defined patterns during typing.
• Automatic Replacement: Automatically replaces patterns with defined text strings.
• Customization: Allows you to easily define and manage your own patterns and replacements.

Installation

1. Download the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Open Visual Studio Code.
3. Go to the extensions tab and search for "QuickReplace".
4. Click on "Install".

Usage

1. Open the VSCode command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P).
2. Run the command: QuickReplace: Edit Patterns.
3. Edit and add your patterns and corresponding replacement strings.
4. Run the command: QuickReplace: Reload Patterns (this will activate the modified/created patterns).
5. While typing, use the completion suggestions to quickly insert your defined text strings. (Ctrl + Space to activate Intellisense)

Configuration

The extension configuration is done via the QuickReplace: Edit Patterns command (from the VSCode command palette) by adding patterns and replacements in the extension settings. Here is an example configuration:

{
    "@quickreplace": "<div>\n  <h1>QuickReplace</h1>\n  <p>Here is an example</p>\n</div>",
    "@test": "Use the “Edit Patterns” command to add your own patterns"
}
