Description

Ghost Cursor is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides a "ghost cursor" feature, allowing you to drop and activate secondary cursors for enhanced editing capabilities.

Features

  • Drop a ghost cursor at any position in the editor. This cursor will not move as you navigate your file with your regular cursor.
  • Activate the ghost cursor(s) to automatically place cursors at each of the ghost cursor positions.

Installation

  1. Open Visual Studio Code.
  2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
  3. Search for "Ghost Cursor" and install the extension.
  4. Alternatively, download the .vsix file and install it manually.

Usage

  • By default the Drop Ghost Cursor action is assigned the keybind of Ctrl+Alt+D. Use this key combination to drop a ghost cursor at the current cursor position. Running the action on a position which already has a ghost cursor will remove that ghost cursor.
  • You can then activate all the placed ghost cursors at once by running the Activate Ghost Cursors action, which is assigned a default keybind of Ctrl+Alt+A.
