What's New

📋 Copy/Paste Support for Collapsed Nodes

Properly duplicate and reuse collapsed JSON structures with full data preservation.

Key Features

  • Smart Copy: Copying a collapsed node ({...} or [...]) copies the full expanded content
  • Valid Paste: Pasted content is always valid JSON - no more broken structures
  • Cut Support: Cut operations also preserve and transfer full content
  • Transparent: Works automatically - no extra steps required

How to Use

  1. Collapse any object or array using the fold icon (▾ → ▸)
  2. Select the collapsed line (e.g., "settings": {...},)
  3. Copy with Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac)
  4. Paste anywhere - full expanded content appears!

Example Workflow

// Start with collapsed node:
"settings": {...},

// Copy and paste - you get the FULL content:
"settings": {
  "theme": "dark",
  "autoSave": true,
  "offline": true
},
