Edit in VS Code

Opens the selected text in a VS Code text file

project demo

Demo video link (https://vimeo.com/570875673)

Installation

  • Open extensions tab in Chrome, turn developer mode on
  • Select LOAD UNPACKED, then select the extension folder in dialog box

copying

  • Copy ID of the extension (make sure there isn't any whitespace, you can double-click the ID and copy the selection to avoid this )

pasting

  • Go back to extension folder and run install.bat from config folder
  • Paste the id (Ctrl + V) or (Win + V) to open clipboard and then select the id
  • Press enter
  • That's it, go to any page, then right-click & select 'Edit with VS Code' from the context menu (Refresh older tabs, i.e., those already open before extension was installed, to make this run on those tabs)

Limitations

  • Tested only on Chrome
  • Runs in Windows only (batch files & registry editor)
  • Opens text only in a text file in a temp directory, I'll see if file types can be set while opening with VS Code

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure to run install.bat, otherwise it won't run
  • Make sure VS Code directory is in PATH of windows
  • Refreshing the page is necessary, after installing the extension (otherwise content-script doesn't run)
  • This is very unlikely but make sure you have powershell installed
