Line selection on steroids.
This extension does the following:
- Select whole lines, including the next newline symbol (
\n
) - Expand the line selection downwards (
cmd+l
/ctrl+l
) - Expand the line selection upwards (
cmd+shift+l
/ctrl+shift+l
) - Most important: Keep already selected text when switching directions!
If you don't like the opinionated shortcuts of this extension, you can unbind them via (substitute cmd
/ ctrl
depending on your platform):
{
"key": "cmd+l",
"command": "-better-line-select.downward"
},
{
"key": "cmd+shift+l",
"command": "-better-line-select.upward"
}
