- The holy basics of
Copypaste.
A truly nostalgic feeling to do something similar as 10 years ago where there was missing core functionality in a product. Read the "Part 1" about MS OneDrive and Scripting.
In the intricate world of software, where the mightiest of mountains are often moved by the smallest of codes, there lies a tale of resolve and ingenuity. For over eight long years, the community of VSCode/VSCodium users grappled with a seemingly insurmountable challenge - a malfunctioning "copy" functionality. A bug, as persistent as it was pesky, defied resolution, leaving even the most seasoned coders in dismay.
155k stars, 5k open issues, a retro issue #164, just beautiful. 
original issue
Normally there is a workaround almost for everything.
Alas, the honorable and mighty USER was not presented with one in this case.
A protagonist, a developer with a knack for scripting, tired of waiting for a solution to emerge from the depths of Microsoft's development chambers, with the precision of a craftsman (and/or robots), they embarked on a journey to build an extension that would alleviate the pains of many.
The extension copyfile-to-clipboard-win, was not just a mere addition to the VSCodium+ arsenal; it was a beacon of hope. It showcased that sometimes, the solution does not lie in waiting but in creating. The extension, with its sleek functionality and user-friendly interface, was not just a tool; it was a statement - a testament to the power of individual contribution in the vast ocean of technology.
As users began to integrate this newfound solution into their daily workflows, the tide began to turn. The once ubiquitous frustration gave way to a seamless copying experience. The extension did not just fix a bug; it redefined the user experience, turning a point of contention into a source of satisfaction.
But the story doesn't end here. It serves as a reminder - a reminder that in the face of adversity, one need not wait for change but can be the harbinger of it. It's a narrative that echoes across the realms of technology and beyond, inspiring many to take up the mantle of innovation.
For in this tale of a developer's resolve, we find a deeper truth - a truth as old as time yet as relevant as ever: "If you need something, build it yourself." And in doing so, not only do you solve your problem, but you also light a path for others to follow, improving the world, one line of code at a time.
