Sublime Text Duplicate for VSCode

Mirrors Sublime Text's duplicate behavior in VS Code:

With selection — duplicates the selected text inline
Without selection — duplicates the entire current line
Supports multiple cursors/selections simultaneously

Usage

Press ⌘+Shift+D (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows/Linux) to duplicate text.

You can also run it from the command palette (⌘+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P): search for Sublime Duplicate Text.
