Feature: Paste Rich Text Link / URL

Open Chiramisu opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Proposal

The ability to paste rich text with a URL and have it converted directly to Markdown would be amazing and save a massive amount of time in some situations.

References

In my case, I frequently copy generated rich text with hyperlinks to be pasted into Markdown notes. Unfortunately though, since rich text conversion is not supported in this extension, this becomes a two step process for EACH link desired to be referenced in a Markdown file.

Thanks for the feedback. I remember VS Code does provide such an API.

Well, apparently way back in 2016 additional functionality was "on [the] roadmap" but not sure what the current state is. https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/11/15/formatters-best-practices#_summary
