Code/syntax highlighting and formatting
Run some heuristics to try and figure out whether a snippet is a piece of programming code, a script or similar. For example looking for hashbang or presence of given keywords, especially in a multiline snippet. Then perform syntax highlighting (basic/generic could work fine, but language/family detection and "proper" syntax highlight would be even more amazing) and formatting (use a smaller font size and wider box, monospaced, probably don't wrap lines by default)

Syntax highlighting would be so great. I was decieved in that there is marketing on the Paste site that shows XCode clipboard items which do have highlighting. Turns out this doesn't work for VS Code.
