About file extension

⚠️ If you do not specify a new extension, the previous will be saved.

But you can use two special characters:

• !!ext – don't preserve original extension.
• &&ext – preserve original extension (available with duplicate.keepOriginalExtension option).

For example:

• nameOfFile!!ext – create filepath without original extension
• nameOfFile&&ext – create filepath with original extension

Supported settings

duplicate.openFileAfterCopy

• Type: Boolean
• Default: true

Automatically open newly copied files.

duplicate.keepOriginalExtension

• Type: Boolean
• Default: true

Keep original extension if it not specified.

Keyboard shortcuts

To change keyboard shortcuts, create a new rule in File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts:

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+d",
  "command": "duplicate.execute"
}
