Code URL Grabber README

Fork of hipdot-vs-code-url-scheme-grabber. Additionally supports SSH-remote and WSL-remote connections.

Copy the vscode link to your current file and line number to the clipboard. Returns either the raw link or a markdown link.

SSH-remote URL example

vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote%2B192.168.100.1/path/to/file:123

This extension gets the remote IP from process.env.SSH_CONNECTION.

[!IMPORTANT] If your ssh-remote connects using the FQDN, you must specify the FQDN in the settings.

WSL-remote URL example

vscode://vscode-remote/wsl%2BUbuntu/path/to/file:123

... where Ubuntu is the name of the WSL distro as seen from the WSL_DISTRO_NAME env variable that is set in WSL. This extension gets the distro name from process.env.WSL_DISTRO_NAME.

Cursor and VS Code insiders

[!TIP] Enable in the settings.

Features

This extension adds four commands (also available via the editor context sub-menu Code URL Grabber):

• Copy Link to Current File and Line Number.
• Copy Link to Current File and Line Number in Markdown Format.
• Copy Link to Current File and Line Number + Selection.
• Copy Link to Current File and Line Number + Selection in Markdown Format.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings, which can be found under the heading "Code URL Grabber":

• hbruCodeUrlGrabber.includeColumn: Include the column number in the link to the current file and line number.
• hbruCodeUrlGrabber.sshRemoteFqdn: The FQDN of your SSH remote host (use this if ssh-remote is configured to connect using a DNS name instead of IP address). This is a workaround as I haven't found a way to get the remote FQDN from the API.
• hbruCodeUrlGrabber.useVSCodeInsiders: Use a vscode-insiders:// scheme so that the link opens in VSCode Insiders.
• hbruCodeUrlGrabber.useCursor: Use a cursor:// scheme so that the link opens in Cursor (In Cursor, the settings are under File -> Preferences -> VS Code settings).

Known Issues

None yet ( + No support for Dev Containers and Tunnels)
