VSCode Helper Plugin

A Vscode plugin that adds various useful features.

Features

Format code blocks into snippets single-line text

Problem

Many times I would like to grab a code block on the web and add it as a vscode snippet. To do so, I copy the text, open snippets file, paste the text inside the body field o the snippet, then format the text line by line, either into a single line with double quotes, or add double quotes for each line. This is time consuming.

Solution

The following command VSHelper - paste as snippets escaped text

This automatically pastes the copied text into a single line, escaped well. It preserves line breaks and double quotes as expected.
