Automatically entered numbers not deleted after setting formatting

[RaptorX]

Type: Bug

• Press the hotkey
• The default numbers get added to the selection (0,1,2,3)
• Set the desired formatting: (%d:4:1)
• Hit enter
• Watch how the string now becomes: 04,15,26,37

Notes

This seems to happen because the original numbers added by the extension dont get deleted.

Bump I need the offsets fixed 😪

Edit: This extension is a good stockgap but doesn't support formatting it seems.

After testing a few of the ones in the marketplace I had also settled for that one as it is the more stable one and they did fix this issue when I mentioned it.

But I'm on the same boat as you in the sense of noticing that this extension had the best formatting options compared to the others.

Same problem here,
Very useful extension with nice formatting features, however this bug is quite annoying.

It seems like the inserted numbers is not selected, so it won't be replaced. But if your cursors already select things, then the selected region will be replaced.
So my method now is:

1. Make sure your cursor is not surrounded by ascii characters (for step 4, otherwise these will be deleted).
2. Ctrl+Alt+N to insert the default numbers.
3. Esc to cancel the popup box.
4. Ctrl+D to select the default numbers.
5. Ctrl+Alt+N again, note the default numbers are selected.
6. Type your desired format.
7. Profit.
