If you want to unselect the cursor without erasing, use awtnb.filter-selections.

Features

Remove by regular expression

cursor-eraser.keep-match: remove cursors on lines that do not match the specified regular expression.
cursor-eraser.erase-match: remove cursors on lines that matches the specified regular expression.

configuration

Case-sensitivity is configurable in cursor-eraser.caseSensitive of setting.json (default: true).
Each command can take an argument for the regular expression to be used. For example, if you append the following to keybindings.json, you can remove the cursor on a blank line by pressing ctrl+alt+q.
```
{
    "key": "ctrl+alt+q",
    "command": "cursor-eraser.erase-match",
    "args": "^$",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
}
```

Remove by position

cursor-eraser.erase-toBegin: remove cursor to begin of file.
cursor-eraser.erase-toEnd: remove cursor to end of file.

The starting point is the cursor position at the beginning of the multi-cursor mode.

Enjoy!
