Hi, any change we can get this extension to support visual studio 2022?

It's really needed.

New versions of Visual Studio now have an Edit.Duplicate command, that to my understanding does very much the same thing as my extension. Is there a reason you prefer this extension?

If I have a selection like this: 182042743-40a4bf8f-65e6-4026-a581-68aa22c16497

Your plugin duplicate the entire 3 lines. The VS command only duplicates the selection. Other plugins do the same as the VS. Because of this your plugin is still needed.

I will look into building this for VS2022

ctlajoie commented 2 years ago

I was able to get the extension to build for VS2022 but something isn't working quite right. The extension installs into VS2022 with no errors. Binding the extension to a keyboard shortcut also works. However it throws an error when I invoke the command. This might be an easy fix, but considering the functionality provided by this extension is for the most part already available in newer versions of VS, I would prefer not to spend more time on it.

I pushed my code changes to a branch named vs2022. If someone else wants to have a crack at it and submit a PR, I would be happy to accept it and publish a new version if everything works. Keep in mind that the extension must continue to work for older VS versions.
