Ring Items are not selected after paste

[lemomar]

Hi there,

I've been using your extension with the default settings, and I'm encountering an issue where pasting ring items with Cmd+Shift+V works, but it does not select them. So instead of cycling through ring items, it just pastes them in a chain.

At first I thought it was due to my user settings, but the problem remains even after removing them all. Is this a common issue?

And lastly, thanks for the amazing extension.

More info: Tried this on a fresh installation of VsCode, and I can reproduce the issue.

It also applies to the Select and Paste Ring Item command, even with clipring.selectTextAfterPasteFromMenu set to true.

Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce the error. I'll have a look in the next few days.

Hi, I am also seeing this issue. Have you been able to fix this yet?
Thanks, Giles

Hmm seems that there was a change in how the vscode api handles empty selections when replacing text

code-clip-ring/src/ring_commands.ts

Line 83 in 6e28e93

eb.replace(sel, ring!.getCurrent());

It works when some text is selected.
I have created an issue in vscode, but I guess I'll come up with a workaround until it is fixed.
