Join Lines Plus Context Aware

A language-agnostic, context-aware Join Lines command for VS Code. This is a fork of Ian Obermiller's extension "Join Lines Context Aware". It has been modified to allow moving the joined content directly to the clipboard as well as being able to select large blocks of code and apply all at once.

Features

• Merge string literals - single or double quote, +, ., or nothing as concat operator
• Merges line and docblock comments (supports //, #, *, and ;)
• Removes trailing commas and omits spaces when merging onto a line with an opening or closing brace ([], {}, (), or <>)

Usage

After installing the extension, add a keybinding for it. The default Join Lines command is ctrl+j or cmd+j on Mac.

{
  "key": "ctrl+j",
  "command": "join-lines-plus-context-aware.join"
},
{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+j",
  "command": "join-lines-plus-context-aware.joinToBuffer"
}

• Previously would not join lines if the last line in the document was also selected. This is now only true if the first and last line selected are the last line.

1.0.10

• Sigh, off by one issue. Added toast for clipboard action to make up for it.

1.0.9

• Through much trial and error, the regexp escape issue has been found and squashed. Enjoy
