Idforge

Generate identifiers and drop them straight at your cursor — no web tools, no copy-paste.

Features

• Insert UUID v4 — canonical lowercase, e.g. 9f1c2e7a-....
• Insert GUID (uppercase) — the same value uppercased, the way .NET / SQL Server like it.
• Insert NIL UUID — the all-zero UUID.
• Insert Short ID — a 12-character random id from a low-ambiguity alphabet (no 0, 1, l, o), handy for slugs and keys.
• Copy UUID v4 to Clipboard — when you just need one on the clipboard.

UUIDs come from a cryptographically secure random source. With multiple cursors, each cursor gets its own freshly generated id — perfect for seeding fixtures or filling a column.

Usage

1. Place your cursor (or several) where you want the id.
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
3. Run an Idforge: command.
