When I try to replace code by Pasting code I copied it just leaves the old code there and instead copies the code I was trying to replace. It also does it if I first delete the old code and paste the new one, it just adds the old code again and adds it to my clipboard.
This problem started happening 2 days ago after starting to code in JavaScript. Not sure if that helps but if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me.
Thank you
I have tried changing the binding for pasting and that still hasn't worked. I have copied code then pasted it in notepad and that works it is just vscode.
I found the problem. Everytime I select something VS Code automatically copies it to my clipboard for some bizarre reason

(Currently using VS Code on macOS Monterey, mostly for React and JavaScript.)
When I used to import a component at the top of my file, Vs Code would suggest the path of the file. I would simply press enter or click on the suggestion and VS Code would fill in the rest. Seems to me like a standard feature of VS Code, and I've grown pretty accustomed to it.
Now, it doesn't suggest anything. I'll type out a file that exists in the project, and nothing appears. I've tried it with several projects, and none of them suggest anything anymore — when just last week it was working fine.
trying to import
One thing... I have a lingering suspicion that it's from doing this:
npm i #types/react -g
A friend recommended I add it. With it, you can declare a component in your project and VS Code will auto import it. Really, it's the only thing I can remember changing since this strange behavior with VS Code started, but I'm not positive. Just a suspicion. I've tried to remove it, but it didn't fix anything.
I've done a bunch of stuff found on stackoverflow already with no improvements:
adding to setting.json, like this, or this
even deleted VS Code w/ extensions
Hi my visual studio code does this weird single line paste whenever I copy a code from a pdf or any other sources.
this picture below is what I copied from
this is what happens when I paste my code
Not really sure what made it this way but I have tried reinstalling, deleting the cache, all the files related to visual studio code but it doesn't work.
The reason why I am asking this because it used to work and my friends that use vscode doesn't have this problem.
Your help is very much appreciated.
I've been using the ESM module with VSCode and my Mocha unit tests for a long time now, a couple of years at least. Recently when I launch an individual test file in VSCode and set a breakpoint in the test file, it no longer breaks in the original file, but rather breaks in the "ESM compiled" file. I don't really know how ESM works enough to talk about it very well, but the file is compiled/transpiled/transformed in some way with all the imports converted to non-ESModule code. I'm able to step through, and it continues to step through other files as well, but each new file opened is this newly "ESM compiled" version instead of the original file, like it used to be. I only just noticed this recently. So I decided to install and older version of VSCode and see if it still happened, and it turns out it doesn't. With version 1.45.x it works as usual, but with anything newer, I get all these "ESM compiled" files opening up when I step through code.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there any new setting I can set in the newer VSCode versions that would cause this to not happen? It's really more of an annoyance than anything. I can still get my work done, but it's not as streamlined as it used to be. I will probably end up just downgrading permanently until I can find a way to make it not occur in the new version.
So, if anyone has experienced this, or knows of something new in VSCode that would cause this, I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks.
Every time when i past some code snippets in Github reply box, it past with weird indentation... which i fix manually every time.. i could possibly indent/format it first in my code editor.. copy and paste directly.. which could work.. however when i am more in a rush.. and copy a block directly from my running code.. it kind of a hassle to format... or even worse when i type code directly there...
is there any browser extension? hide short-cut wizardry that im not aware of in Github to format and indent my reply quickly?
You might want to try: https://github.com/panzerdp/clipboardy, it does look like it keeps formatting not only in GitHub, but also SO and others.
Many other extensions that might be useful here: https://github.com/showcases/github-browser-extensions.
When I copy code from Stackoverflow and paste it into my emacs window, it pastes the whole thing as one super-long line, losing all the line-breaks. What's the easiest way to un-wrap this so I get back the line-breaks? Or paste it differently into emacs so it preserves line-breaks?
[EDIT: I read this question too quickly --- the approach I outlined will help clean up a lot of things, but not OP's actual problem. FWIW, I can't reproduce on the only windows box I have here]
