Platformio-vscode-ide: Copy and paste values from IDE Plugin (macOS)

[exocode]

Solution

This is a known bug in VSCode. Please vote with 👍 in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/65452. A temporary solution is to use VSCode > Menu > Edit > Copy/Paste

---

As a developer I am lazy. I wanna be able to mark, copy and paste definitions as well examples.
When I open the PlatformIO plugin in VSCode and choose a library and an example of it, I am not able to Copy this code. I can mark it, but copy/pasting is not working.

I have to visit the PlatformIO website and have to do it from there.

Same here. Unable to copy/paste from platformio IDE in vscode.

Something new on that task?

I tried today copy/pasting in "ATOM" editor, it is working.
Still not working with VSCode.

Please keep this issue/feature in focus. I "think" it is only a setting/config problem.

@bpasero @mjbvz do we have any workarounds?

Installing the new PIO home 3.2.3 does not solve the issue for me.
