SHUNT extension for Visual Studio Code

Line selection and multi-cursor tricks.

---

Features

• SHUNT LEFT

  • Set multiple cursors on a straight column based on the leftmost non-space character of the selection

• SHUNT RIGHT

  • Set multiple cursors on a straight column based on the rightmost character of the selection

• SHUNT SELECT

  • Select the contents of each line separatedly, ignoring empty ones. Follow with home or end to set multiple cursors on either side of each line.

NOTES

• As these are multi-line commands, there's no point in selecting only one line or partial lines
• The last line of the selection is ignored unless fully selected
• Lines will be padded with spaces or tabs as needed (according to the current identation setting)

How to use

Shunt Select	ctrl+alt+k

|

• Or select lines by dragging the mouse over the line numbers, then right-click the selected block to access these commands the context menu.

Known issues

• In some cases, might not be accurate with mixed tabs and spaces. Identation with spaces is recommended.
