Create multiple scratchpad files for doodling while you're coding.

Highlights

  • Create multiple scratchpads
  • Create scratchpads of different languages and file types (based on https://github.com/blakeembrey/language-map)
  • Enjoy VSCode intellisense in your scratchpads
  • Scratchpads are not interfering with your project / source control and can be removed at any time

Create new Scratchpad

Available Commands

  • Scratchpads: New scratchpad
  • Scratchpads: Open scratchpad
  • Scratchpads: New filetype
  • Scratchpads: Remove scratchpad
  • Scratchpads: Remove all scratchpads
    Removing all scratchpad files loops through all the open tabs and closes the scratchpad ones before deleting the files (might seem weird)

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can find instructions on adding shortcuts to the commands above on VSCode website.

Extension Settings

Available extension configuration:

  • Auto Format - Automatically format the new scratchpad content (works only if auto paste is on)
  • Auto Paste - Automatically paste clipboard content into the new scratchpad
  • Prompt For Filename - Prompt the user for a file name when creating a new scratchpad
  • Prompt For Removal - Prompt the user when removing all scratchpads
  • Scratchpads Folder - A custom full path in which the scratchpads will be stored (Note: Data will not be moved).
