This extension reduces the number of selections according to a regular expression or the position of the cursor. Useful when executed after ctrl+shift+l.
Selections that do not match the criteria are cleared, but the cursor itself remains. If you want to remove the cursor itself, use awtnb.cursor-eraser.
