Known Issues

• As of release 0.0.6

  • No testing has been performed on non-Windows platform although it should just work (Please report if you find it broken!)
  • Git provider only supports Azure Repos only, but GitHub works as well with auto redirection (except for selection it defaults to file)

• Copy markdown

  • While Microsoft Teams supports markdown, it does not format the pasted text as markdown, workaround may be delete the last char and enter it by keyboard
    • Further more, VS Code does not support copy HTML to clipboard and has no plan to do so until it becomes JS standard, see #77790
