Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

   Open a terminal and run:

   git clone https://github.com/umaarov/file-path-inserter.git
   cd file-path-inserter

2. Place the Script

   • Save the insertFilePath.js script to a directory of your choice. For example:
   • Windows: C:/scripts/insertFilePath.js
   • macOS/Linux: /usr/local/bin/insertFilePath.js

3. Configure Keybinding in VSCode

   • Open VSCode.
   • Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
   • Click on the {} icon at the top right to open keybindings.json.
   • Add the following keybinding configuration:

   • [
       {
         "key": "ctrl+alt+i",
         "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
         "args": {
           "text": "node C:/scripts/insertFilePath.js ${file}\u000D"
          },
         "when": "editorTextFocus"
       }
     ]]

   • Adjust the path (C:/scripts/insertFilePath.js) to where you saved the script.

Usage

1. Open a File in VSCode.
2. Press the Keybinding: Ctrl+Alt+I (or the keybinding you configured).
3. Verify the File: The file path should be inserted as a comment at the top of the file.

Example Output

For a JavaScript file, the comment will look like this:

// C:/path/to/your/file.js

For a PHP file, if the file starts with <?php, the comment will be:

<!-- C:/path/to/your/file.php -->
