Paste images directly from clipboard into Markdown Documents in Intellij. Images files are deposited in a configurable directory relative to the markdown.

Use the plugin browser in Intellij to download the plugin.

It works best as extension to the official Markdown support extension provided by Jetbrains.

1. Copy an image to your clipboard. E.g by right-click + copy in your favorite browser or by doing Command-Control-Shift-4 on a mac or PrtScn on windows10. Linux users have various options for taking a screenshot such as xfce4-screenshooter and many more.

2. Press shift-ctrl-V (or change the keybinding under Preferences->Keymap->"Paste Image into Markdown").ctrl-v is the default key for pasting images on Linux based operating systems.

• optionally adjust file name (which defaults to a random value)

3. The plugin will deposit the file relative to your source-directory and insert the markdown image element at the current cursor position:

Created images will be added automatically to the VCS (if used). The plugin will remember the last directory pattern on a per file basis.
