CutCopyPaste DELETE

Adds "Delete" command to the editor's right-click context menu.

As a long time user of Notepad.exe I am used to right-clicking on text, and deleting it from the context menu. For some reason VS Code does not have the "Delete" command in the right-click context menu, so I made this.

This extension has some some extra features other than deleting selected text. Read more on that in the Extension Settings section below.

I hope you will find it useful.

Features

Depending on how you configure it, this extension can do the following:

• Delete selected text
• Delete the word under the caret (if no text selected)
  • Delete line if the caret is placed at the end of the last character on the line
• Delete line if nothing is selected
  • Delete the line / Empty the line (Will leave the line, it will just be empty)
• Trim whitespace left
  • Leave one space (If there are multiple spaces, it will leave only one)
• Trim whitespace right
  • Leave one space (If there are multiple spaces, it will leave only one)

This extension contributes the following settings:
