Summary

This iteration we re-enabled the markdown paste url as link feature. When you copy text that looks like a url and paste it into a markdown file, this feature will automatically transform it into a markdown link: [link text](http://example.com)

Testing

Test out this feature in some markdown files . I've detailed the expected behavior below but please also let me know if something feels wrong when using this feature

Default Behavior

• This feature should only be enabled if you are pasting a uri
• If you have text selected when pasting, a markdown link should be created
• If you do not have text selected, the url should be pasted but you should also see an option to paste as a markdown link in the editor
• Pasting as a markdown link should also be disabled inside of markdown code blocks and html blocks

Advanced

• The markdown.editor.pasteUrlAsFormattedLink.enabled setting controls this behavior
• If you set "markdown.editor.pasteUrlAsFormattedLink.enabled": "smart", then you should no longer need a selection to paste a markdown link (however markdown links should still be disabled in code blocks and other elements)
• Regardless of markdown.editor.pasteUrlAsFormattedLink.enabled, the paste as... command should always work
• All of this should also work in markdown cells in notebooks

[roblourens]

Should the "Paste as" command have a "markdown link" option? I only see plain text and HTML.

[roblourens]

Also, it might be nice to have a mode where it never inserts markdown links by default, but does show the paste widget which gives me the option. With "never", I don't see that widget.

@roblourens Paste as currently only shows this open if you have a valid url in the clipboard. If you have copied a url and still aren't seeing the option, please open an issue. I also considered always showing it but that kind of overlaps with our existing markdown link snippet
