paste-diff README

Live paste diff to instantly visualize changes after you paste a section of code. Vibe code more intelligently, no more blind pastes.

Features

VS Code side by side diff: Opens a fresh diff editor for each large paste or replacement, aligning original vs. new content.

Custom thresholds: Configure how many characters pasted or replaced will trigger the diff view, default is 100 chars.

Requirements

VS Code 1.100.0 or higher.

No external dependencies beyond the built in diff-match-patch package (bundled automatically).

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• pasteDiff.minSize: Minimum number of characters pasted or replaced to open the diff using ctrl+v
• pasteDiff.forceDiff: Customizable force diff keybind, does not rely on minimum number of characters Disabled by default: to enable, replace "CUSTOM+KEYBIND" with something like "ctrl+alt+d" and remove the "&& false" condition.
