Replace Accents for Visual Studio Code

Replace Accents for Visual Studio Code is an advanced text processing utility designed to clean accented and diacritic-heavy text into ASCII-compatible formats through precise Unicode normalization and custom character mappings, while also providing powerful reverse diacritic restoration.

Core Features

  • Unicode-Based Diacritic Removal: Utilizes NFKD decomposition to strip combining diacritical marks safely, ensuring full compatibility with multibyte text and emojis.
  • Language-Specific Orthographic Mappings: Applies intelligent, locale-aware ASCII foldings for common languages (such as German, Swedish, and Danish digraph conversions) alongside base letter mapping for Central European characters.
  • Advanced Diacritic Restoration: Reconstructs missing accents using frequency-ordered, per-language word dictionaries spanning 19 supported languages, complete with optional suffix matching for inflected forms and custom ignore lists.
  • Custom Character Mappings & Batch Processing: Define custom character-level overrides (such as brand-specific or project rules) and execute cleanups or restorations across entire documents, multi-selections, or file and folder names directly within the Explorer.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Quickly execute removal and restoration workflows using the default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows and Linux) or Cmd+Alt+R (macOS).

Multi-Language Support And System Requirements

  • Supported Interface Languages: English, Magyar, Slovenčina, Čeština, Deutsch, Français, Polski, Български, Español, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Português do Brasil, Русский, Türkçe, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.
  • Supported Restoration Dictionaries: Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish.
  • System Prerequisites: No special requirements or external dependencies; operates directly within Visual Studio Code.
