Generate identifiers and drop them straight at your cursor — no web tools, no copy-paste.
Features
- Insert UUID v4 — canonical lowercase, e.g.
9f1c2e7a-.... - Insert GUID (uppercase) — the same value uppercased, the way .NET / SQL Server like it.
- Insert NIL UUID — the all-zero UUID.
- Insert Short ID — a 12-character random id from a low-ambiguity alphabet (no
0,1,l,o), handy for slugs and keys. - Copy UUID v4 to Clipboard — when you just need one on the clipboard.
UUIDs come from a cryptographically secure random source. With multiple cursors, each cursor gets its own freshly generated id — perfect for seeding fixtures or filling a column.
Usage
- Place your cursor (or several) where you want the id.
- Open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P/Cmd+Shift+P). - Run an Idforge: command.
