Version?

(at least) VSCode

Feature

Tables pasted from Excel are converted to TSV (uses tab instead of comma). It would be nice if how to edit TSV is written in README.

It would be nice if this extension supports direct edit of TSV without having to convert them to CSV.

What do you mean by that? It works for .tsv files.

Yan can copy and past from/to excel.

Can you give more details?

  1. Change the language mode to TSV
  2. Start "CSV: edit csv"

Sorry it has already been supported. I forgot to change the indent from space to tab.

Using "new file" is different than using an existing file. On an existing .tsv file it works as expected. Using tabs for tsv is required (hence the name).

Actually it would work with almost any delimiter (can be configured). However, the button (and action) will only work on known languages (csv, tsv). This has nothing to do with the extension ifself, but how vs code handles languages.

However, I'll add a sentence to the readme on how to edit new files as tsv.
