Windowsify Paths

A Visual Studio Code extension that adds commands to copy file paths in Windows format (with backslashes).

Features

This extension adds two new commands to the editor tab context menu:

• Copy Windows Path: Copies the absolute file path with Windows-style backslashes (\)
• Copy Windows Relative Path: Copies the relative file path (from workspace root) with Windows-style backslashes (\)

These commands are useful when you need to share or use file paths in Windows environments, where backslashes are the standard path separator.

Usage

1. Right-click on any editor tab
2. Select either:
   • "Copy Windows Path" for the full path
   • "Copy Windows Relative Path" for the workspace-relative path
3. The path is copied to your clipboard in Windows format

You can also access these commands from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):

• Type "Copy Windows Path"
• Type "Copy Windows Relative Path"

Example

If your file is located at: /c:/Projects/my-app/src/components/Button.tsx

• Copy Windows Path will copy: c:\Projects\my-app\src\components\Button.tsx
• Copy Windows Relative Path will copy: src\components\Button.tsx
