# Paste Escaped TypeScript Semantic Paste _(escapes pasted text based on where the cursor is positioned)_ ![paste-escaped][logo] [logo]: https://github.com/gwicksted/paste-escaped/blob/master/paste.png?raw=true "Paste Escaped" ## Install | Windows / Linux | Mac | | ------------------ | ----------------- | | `ctrl`+`shift`+`x` | `cmd`+`shift`+`x` | * Type `Paste` * Find `Paste Escaped` * Click the `Install` button * Click the `Reload` button ## Usage ### Paste with semantic escaping (TypeScript files only) | Windows / Linux | Mac | | ------------------ | ----------------- | | `ctrl`+`shift`+`v` | `cmd`+`shift`+`v` | ### Undo semantic escaping | Windows / Linux | Mac | | ------------------ | ---------------- | | `ctrl`+`z` | `cmd`+`z` | * Press once to undo the _escaping_ (leaving you with the raw clipboard text). * Press a second time to undo the entire paste operation. ### Command Pallette | Windows / Linux | Mac | | ------------------ | ----------------- | | `ctrl`+`shift`+`p` | `cmd`+`shift`+`p` | * Type `Paste` * Select the option `Paste: Escaped` ## Features Escapes clipboard text in the following scenarios with `|` being the cursor position: :heavy_check_mark: ```const test = `|`;``` :heavy_check_mark: `const test = "|";` :heavy_check_mark: `const test = '|';` :heavy_check_mark: `const test = /|/g;` :heavy_check_mark: `const test = 123; // |` :heavy_check_mark: `const test = /* | */ 123;` :ok_hand: `any.other.code |` (no escaping) ## How it works Text in clipboard: :clipboard: ```xml ` ``` ### Example 1. Pasting into template ```TypeScript const abc = ``; ``` ### Result (without extension) :thumbsdown: ```TypeScript const abc = ` `; ``` :warning: Considers `${donteval}` a template variable (may not be intentional) :heavy_multiplication_x: Replaces `\t` in the `C:\\temp` path with a literal `TAB` :heavy_multiplication_x: Breaks the string immediately following `John` causing compilation errors ### Result (with extension) :thumbsup: ```TypeScript const abc = ` `; ``` :heavy_check_mark: The `${donteval}` exists as verbatim text and will not look for a variable named `donteval` :heavy_check_mark: Does not replace part of the path with a `TAB` :heavy_check_mark: The string ends where expected :astonished: ### Example 2. ```TypeScript const def = ""; ``` ### Result (without extension) :thumbsdown: ```TypeScript const def = " " ``` :heavy_multiplication_x: Breaks the string immediately following `property=` (and several other places) causing compilation errors :heavy_multiplication_x: Adds a line break causing additional compilation errors :heavy_multiplication_x: Replaces `\t` in the `C:\\temp` path with a literal `TAB` ### Result (with extension) :thumbsup: ```TypeScript const def = "\n"; ``` :heavy_check_mark: Escapes all quotes and backslashes (` \ `) :heavy_check_mark: Escapes the line break with `\n` (or `\r\n` if that were on the clipboard) :heavy_check_mark: The string ends where expected # License [MIT](https://github.com/gwicksted/paste-escaped/blob/master/LICENSE)
