Pastes to RTF/ANSI Escape Codes?

[sparty02]

This doesn't seem to work at all for me. I copied the following:

And pasted it into several different programs, all consistently showing the following:

...which looks like some kind of RTF/ANSI escape codes maybe? FWIW, I'm on Windows 7.

yes, it convert code to RTF.

sorry I don't have windows now, I will try to find one tomorrow.

[atian25]

maybe it's the problem of copy-paste module

@sparty02 had try at windows.

• pygmentize convert code to rtf work fine.
• the rtf string can be save to test.rtf file, then open it with word, can found is highlighted.
• the problem is copy-paste can't set clipboard with rtf format
• so I raise an issue, https://github.com/xavi-/node-copy-paste/issues/52

I don't think it's an issue with the node-copy-paste.

Based on what I've read on how Windows clipboard works. You need to specify RTF or a custom format as part of the copy action.

node-copy-paste relies on clip.exe, which is provided with Windows, and only passes pure text.

I commented on https://github.com/xavi-/node-copy-paste/issues/52 with an experiment that may provide us a path forward.

@brightloudnoise great~ so could you raise a PR for it ? or just fork to publish another lib (cause node-copy-paste seams to be not maintenance)

same as #6
Now with vscode 1.10 it supports copy syntax without extra plugin.
