How to get Voop

You can get Voop from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

How to activate Voop in VSCode

Press Ctrl+Shift+P and enter Voop. Execute Voop to get a list of available scripts, execute Voop: Reload Scripts to update the list of available scripts after adding custom scripts to the custom scripts folder.

If you want to open the transformation result in a new file instead, press Ctrl+Shift+P and execute Voop: Transformation Result in new File.

Use Ctrl+Alt+V as a quick alias for Ctrl+Shift+P + Voop.
Use Ctrl+Alt+N as a quick alias for Ctrl+Shift+P + Voop: Transformation Result in new File.

Select multiple files in the VSCode Explorer and right-click (opens context menu) + click Voop to execute scripts on multiple files at once. Modifications done via this operation can be turned back by using Ctrl+Shift+P + Voop: Undo last multifile action (last 5 max) or also via the context menu.

You can add keyboard shortcuts to execute scripts directly, Voop guides you on how to it with the command Voop: Add Key Binding to execute a Script directly.

Origins of Voop & extended functionality

Voop is a way to execute Boop scripts directly in VSCode. It was created based on the idea and the scripts of Boop, which is a scriptable scratchpad that allows you to run any transformations on your text using the built-in or your self-written .js scripts.

Voop can accept user input after script selection if needed. As an example how to accept it, check the JoinLines script.

Voop scripts can also be executed on multiple files at once using the context menu.

Also Voop has script native multi-file support to use multiple file contents as an input, where the result will be opened in a new file. An example how this can be used is the CombineFiles script.
