Awesome String Split

Split a string at the cursor using the same quote it was written with. Works in JS/TS/JSX/TSX.

Inside '...' or "...": closes the current string, inserts + and a newline, then reopens with the same quote.
Inside `...`: inserts a newline (template literals are multiline-safe).
Preserves current line indentation.
Default keybinding: Shift+Enter.

Why

Faster edits. Break long strings at the cursor without manual cutting, closing, and reopening quotes.
Always valid. Ensures the result is syntactically correct (closes, concatenates, reopens) instead of leaving a broken string.
Keeps style. Preserves the original quote type and indentation, avoiding lint/prettier churn and noisy diffs.
Fewer mistakes. Reduces off-by-one and escaping errors that happen when splitting by hand.
Template-literal aware. For backticks, just inserts a newline (multiline by design), or can be configured otherwise.

Before:

const msg =
  "This is a very long message that I want to split here|and keep readable.";

After: (press Shift+Enter at the cursor)

const msg =
  "This is a very long message that I want to split here" +
  "and keep readable.";

Detection is line-based; extremely exotic cases (e.g., unterminated strings) may fall back to a plain newline.
