manimvs README

Yet another extension to add behavior that Grant used in the video regarding manimgGl

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9e03138e-11c3-4553-993c-0adc0ea7a8f5

Features

• Select a terminal in vscode where you are running manimgl [s.py] [scene] -se [liineNumber]
• Copy things on your clipboard and run checkpoint_paste() on the selected terminal
  • if cursor on comment: copy everything up until next comment or EOF
  • if cursor has selection: copy first selection
  • if cursor is on any python line (NOT comment): copy that line

How to use

This extension exports two commands (you can find them with ctrl + shift + p or cmd + shift + p)

• ManimGl: Select Terminal
• ManimGl: On cursor CheckpointPaste

Open a terminal with the vscode integrated terminal, run manimgl [s.py] [scene] -se [liineNumber], then:

• ctrl + shift + p -> ManimGl: select Terminal: you will need to select the name of the terminal where you are running the above command
• go on a line of your code and run ctrl + shift + p -> ManimGl: On cursor CheckpointPaste to execute manim code

Requirements

Install manimgl and run in a vscode managed terminal manimgl [s.py] [scene] -se [liineNumber]

Extension Settings

It might be comfortable to setup a keybinding to run the checkpoint command, which is:

• manimvs.onCursorCheckpointPaste

Known Issues

Please be sure to select a terminal within vscode which is already running manimgl [s.py] [scene] -se [liineNumber]

Comments

If you want to contribute, the extension is incredibly small and easy to get into. To be honest, this has been a good excuse for me to make my first vscode extension.
