I'd like it if the new scratchpad I'm opening opens in a new tab to the side when I'm holding the SHIFT button when pressing Enter.

This would be the same behavior when opening (recent) windows. Holding shift when you click, opens in a new window.

Please add the ability to rename scratchpads.

When creating a new Scratchpad (selecting text, pressing F1, writing "Open Scratchpad", and pressing Return) there's no prompt asking for a format. I have a new file created in ".vscode/extensions/awesomektvn.scratchpad-0.1.0/" and called "scratchpad.txt"

current behaviour

When closing a scratchpad, there is no way to reopen it.

expected behaviour

As long as scratchpads are not removed, one should be able to reopen them.

If not, has anybody forked it and adding more features to it?

When I try to run any of the commands in this extension I get an error like:
command 'scratchpads.openScratchpad' not found

So, the extension can't be used at all.

This is not an issue, but a feature wish.

It would be nice if you could rename the Scratchpads to make it easier to find them later. Especially if you have many Scratchpads, that would be very helpful.

Otherwise a great plugin. Thumbs up!

When performing an upgrade of the extension, the folder under the globalStoragePath is removed and all scratchpads are lost

It's a bit confusing that "Enter" and "Escape" do the same exact thing when the input is blank, and there's no hint that you can get an autogenerated name (for a moment, I thought the auto-incremental names were gone for good).

I think it'd be more intuitive if:

• Blank input displays a greyed out hint like "(auto)"
• "Enter" creates a scratchpad (no changes)
• "Cancel" aborts the whole process

Can we have a setting to skip the feature altogether and revert to pre 0.0.8 behaviour?

"scratchpads.promptForFilename": false

This is a minor feature request that, IMHO, would improve developer experience. Here are steps to reproduce:

1. Open the "New Scratchpad" search bar
2. Type txt

Expected: the first result should be Text (.txt)
Actual: the first result is TEXI (.texi)

Screenshot:

Workaround:

• Typing .txt instead of txt filters as expected.
• Alternatively, you can select from the filtered list.

Considering the workarounds, these are minor inconveniences, but it adds up throughout the day. And for me at least, this is unexpected behavior.

Summary

All open typescript scratchpad's share the same namespace. This means they can read each other's variables. Defining x in two typescript scratchpads results in an error because it's already defined in the other scratchpad. I would like each typescript scratchpad to have its own namespace. Or, in other words, I think each scratchpad should run in its own sandbox.

I don't think scratchpads worked this way in the past so I'm assuming this is a bug? If it is intentional behavior, I'm happy to provide reasons for my feature request.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Typescript scratchpad
2. Write const x = 1; as its content.
3. Create another new Typescript scratchpad
4. Write const x = 1; as its content.

Expected: Both scratchpad's exist without error
Actual: Both scratchpad's error:

Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable 'x'. ts(2451)
scratch34.ts(1, 7): 'x' was also declared here.

Note: Closing one of the two scratchpad's (or both) fixes the problem.

I just noticed that every time i write some temporary code in a scratch, they are saved to disk. This causes my Settings Sync extension to write these scratches to the web. Could there be a setting to never save the scratches to disk?

Cheers!

It would be useful to have the ability to change default location of scratchpads via the extension settings. This would help for running files via the integrated terminal

It'd be nice to be able to remove a single scratchpad instead of removing them all.

The extension currently maintains its own file types. It'd be nice if it could just reuse the file types that are already configured in the editor. The drop-down list could then look (be?) the same as Change Language Mode command.

(I've no idea if extension API allows it or not.)

I presume it's a leftover from some tests:

The January 2019 release of Visual Studio Code introduces a new extension API that might be interesting for scrathpads:

An extension is now provided with a global storage path ExtensionContext.globalStoragePath that is pointing to a local directory with write/read access. This is a good option if you need to store large files that are accessible from all workspaces.

I'd like a way to use Deno (via their VSCode extension) for TypeScript files rather than the built-in Node.js based TypeScript editor support. Is this possible? Thank you.

I see little reason reason not to have as many (common) languages as possible thrown in there. The best thing to do would be to use VScode's built-in and user-defined language identifiers, but for simplicity one could just make sure that all of the languages in that list are represented in typesConfig.json. If the "create new" and similar items were at the top of the list, it wouldn't matter how many or where the rest were as they could be searched for (although alphabetical would be nice if it wasn't going to order by frequency).

This should be very simple to do, I should be able to take a crack soon.

It would be nice to have a separate command to automatically open the latest scratchpad (without asking for which one to open).

This way, I could have something like ctrl+. to open the latest scratchpad, ctrl+shift+. to select which one to open, and ctrl+alt+. to create a new one.
