Python Paste Pro

Enhances Python pasting in Visual Studio Code with smart indentation, inspired by PyCharm's intelligent paste behavior.

Features

• Smart Indentation: Automatically adjusts indentation when pasting Python code, preserving relative structure and aligning with the current cursor position.
• Seamless Integration: Overrides the default Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac) paste action in Python files, making it effortless to use.
• Context-Aware: Works only in Python files, leaving other languages unaffected.

Installation

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on Mac).
3. Search for Python Paste Pro.
4. Click Install.

Alternatively, download the .vsix file from the Visual Studio Marketplace and install it manually via "Install from VSIX" in the Extensions view.

Usage

• Open a Python file (.py).
• Copy any Python code to your clipboard.
• Press Ctrl+V (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+V (Mac) where you want to paste.
• The code will be inserted with smart indentation based on your cursor's position.

No additional configuration is needed Python Paste Pro works out of the box!

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.97.0 or higher.
• Works with any Python file recognized by VSCode's language identifier (python).

Known Issues

• Complex nested code with inconsistent indentation might require manual adjustment after pasting.
• Report any bugs or suggestions on the GitHub Issues page.
