"Doc Tab" is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to edit the doc comments in a new tab.
The Problem
Editors like VSCode support markdown preview for JSDoc / TSDoc, but it's often challenging to edit, format, and indent it within the comment block. This extension is designed to assist in editing doc comments in a new tab, providing the benefits of specific language features such as Markdown's syntax highlighting, intelligence, linting, and formatting.
Usage
Choose or position the cursor within the documentation comment block.
Access the command palette:
Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux
Cmd+Shift+P on macOS
Enter Doc Tab: Edit Comment In New Tab and hit Enter.
Modify the documentation comment in the new tab.
Close the tab without saving to discard any alterations.
The changes will be applied to the documentation comment block. 🎉🎉
Recommended Workflow

Edit the documentation comments in a new tab. It's advisable to preview while editing.

Close the tab without saving.
