Highlight on Copy

⚡️📋 Briefly flash and highlight the selected text that has been copied















This is a **VSCode extension** inspired by the [Vim](https://www.vim.org/) plugin **[vim-highlightedyank](https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank)**

 and the

**[Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim) built-in [highlight yanked region feature](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/12279)**.

## Configuration 🛠️

The extension works out of the box when triggering your default copy to clipboard shortcut (`Ctrl + C`, `Cmd + C`).

If you wish to change the default keybinding, you can do it in your `Keyboard Shortcuts`:

1. Open **Command Palette**.

2. On Windows and Linux, press `Ctrl + Shift + P`. On macOS, press `Cmd + Shift + P`.

3. Search for `Open Keyboard Shortcuts` and search for the `highlightOnCopy.run" command and remap the shortcut to your needs.

Also, you can customize the color and the duration of the highlight with these entries in your `settings.json`:

1. Open **Command Palette**.

2. On Windows and Linux, press `Ctrl + Shift + P`. On macOS, press `Cmd + Shift + P`.

3. Search for `Open User Settings (JSON)` and select it from the list. This command takes you directly to the `settings.json` file where all your settings are defined.

4. You can now add your custom settings for the extension. Add the following and adjust them to your liking.:

```jsonc

{

    "highlightOnCopy.backgroundColor": "rgba(230, 97, 89, 0.7)",

    // by default the foreground text color it's undefined, meaning the actual color won't be modified

    "highlightOnCopy.foregroundColor": "#fff",

    "highlightOnCopy.timeout": 200

}

```
