Smart Paste

Command Name: aide.smartPaste

Use AI to intelligently recognize code or images from the clipboard and perform format conversion, then paste it into the current editor.

This feature can significantly enhance development efficiency, especially when dealing with cross-language or cross-framework code conversions.

WARNING

This feature requires AI model support for function_call capability.

The image reading feature requires enabling the aide.readClipboardImage configuration. The AI model must also support image reading. We recommend using the gpt-4o model.

Scenarios:

As a CV engineer not satisfied with the status quo, you desire a smarter paste function.
Smart Paste will intelligently recognize clipboard content and automatically convert it.
Copying JSON and pasting into a TypeScript file will automatically generate type definitions.
Copying HTML and pasting into a Flutter file will automatically convert it into a Flutter Widget.
Copying a Python function and pasting into a Rust file will automatically generate the corresponding Rust function.
Copying a design draft screenshot and pasting into Vue/React/Flutter code will automatically generate the corresponding UI code.
Copying a database design diagram and pasting into an SQL file will automatically generate the relevant SQL code.
More features await your imagination...

Usage:

Copy code from somewhere else to the clipboard.
Place the cursor at the desired location in the editor. (This position will affect the paste result)
Right-click and select ✨ Aide: Smart Paste.

Examples:

From JSON to TypeScript Type

Suppose you have the following JSON data:

json

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "isAdmin": true
}

Copy it to the clipboard, then use the Smart Paste feature in a TypeScript file, and Aide will automatically convert it into a TypeScript type definition:

typescript

type User = {
  name: string
  age: number
  isAdmin: boolean
}

From TailwindCSS HTML to Flutter Widget

Suppose you have the following TailwindCSS HTML code:

html

<div class="bg-blue-500 text-white p-4">Hello, World!</div>

Copy it to the clipboard, then use the Smart Paste feature in a Flutter file, and Aide will automatically convert it into a Flutter Widget:

dart

Container(
  color: Colors.blue,
  padding: EdgeInsets.all(16),
  child: Text(
    'Hello, World!',
    style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
  ),
)

Related Configuration:

You can customize whether certain scenarios can read clipboard images as AI context by configuring aide.readClipboardImage.
