Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• copyMdLink.editor: Select the editor for local links. Options: vscode (default), cursor, antigravity.
• copyMdLink.template: Customize the markdown link format using template variables.

Template Customization

You can customize the output format using the copyMdLink.template setting. The default template is:

{fileName}#{lineNumber}([github](https://github.com/bisquit/vscode-copy-mdlink/blob/HEAD/{gitHubLink}) / [{editor}](https://github.com/bisquit/vscode-copy-mdlink/blob/HEAD/{editorLink}))

Available template variables:

• {fileName}: Name of the current file (e.g., helper.ts)
• {lineNumber}: Line number or range (e.g., L42 or L14-L17)
• {gitHubLink}: GitHub URL to the file and line (empty if not in a git repository)
• {editor}: Editor name (vscode, cursor, or antigravity)
• {editorLink}: Local editor protocol link

Template Examples

Simple file and line reference:

"copyMdLink.template": "{fileName}:{lineNumber}"

Output: helper.ts:L42

GitHub link only:

"copyMdLink.template": "[{fileName}#{lineNumber}](https://github.com/bisquit/vscode-copy-mdlink/blob/HEAD/{gitHubLink})"

Output: [helper.ts#L42](https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/src/utils/helper.ts#L42)

Custom format with emoji:

"copyMdLink.template": "📄 {fileName} 📍{lineNumber} | [GitHub](https://github.com/bisquit/vscode-copy-mdlink/blob/HEAD/{gitHubLink}) | [Open in {editor}](https://github.com/bisquit/vscode-copy-mdlink/blob/HEAD/{editorLink})"
