Deep link doesn't work in Visual Studio Code

[yuan]

Hi everyone,

So I’m trying to link some source code snippets from VS Code, but the “Copy selection and link” is disabled.

Anyone can give some suggestions? thank you.

Copy Selection and Link only works for some apps at the moment:

Copy Selection and Link – Hookmark

Initially, this new command is only enabled for:

• PDFPenPro (yields deep links),
• Preview,
• TextEdit,
• XCode and
• Skim (yields deep links)

Thank you for your reply. Hope this command will be online soon. It’s absolutely a big killer function.

Trigger the applescript (I use an alfred trigger of alt-cmd-shft-c to trigger it) Clipboard will now contains a markdown-style link with your selected text as the visible title and the hook link as the link. …

Thank you again, I’ll try it.
