Copy/Past issue #7814

Open garrett85 opened 2 years ago

garrett85 commented 2 years ago

I love this extension but one issue I'm having is that I often need to be able to copy text and past it outside of my project. For that yank doesn't work. Is there way to either disable this extension with a key press or two, just long enough to do a normal copy/past or a way to leave the extension enabled to press a key or two that will allow the cursor to turn in to a non vim cursor for the purpose of copy/past. Thanks.

Note that I tried to place this in the discussion but the Submit button was grayed out with no explanation for why or how to resolve the issue.

What OS are you using?

On Windows you can add to your system clipboard via editing VSC settings.json and adding

"vim.useSystemClipboard": true

Sorry I should have included that, I'm using Linux Mint.
