Reference adds just one command, Copy Reference, which you can access through the command pallet or the right click context menu in editor.
Choose between two types of reference formats or create your own!
To copy your reference place your caret on the desired line or select a block of code. Then using the right click context menu or command pallet select the Copy Reference command. The reference will be copied to your clipboard! It's that simple!
Based on if you had a selection or not you'll get
`<project name>/path/to/file:<line in file as caret position>`
Or the more extensive variant when you have a selection, which will include the selected code as a codeblock.
You can create your own custom format from the extension settings. If the format you can use the following template patterns as place holders for things like the files path, project name, etc.
| Pattern | Placeholder for | Example |
|---|---|---|
{project} |
The project name | my-projext |
{path} |
The relative path within the project (no leading /) |
path/to/file.txt |
{line} |
The line number | 123 |
{ext} |
The files extension (block only) | txt |
{selected} |
The selected text (block only, and minimized indents) | Some text |
{n} |
New line. As VSCode options don't allow multiline inputs | \n |
