cursor-multi-line vs-code extension

Inspiration comes from cursor-jump and Scroll Faster

Jump or select eg. 8 lines up/down with option+up/down(shift+option+up/down) (fast navigation, customizable)

Features

• exposes cursor-multi-line which takes arg {deltaLine: number, deltaChar: number, moveAnchor: bool, moveActive: bool} (moveAnchor/Active is true by default, ie. will move the whole selection)

• set custom key-bindings, eg.:

  {
    "command": "cursor-multi-line",
    "when": "editorTextFocus",
    "key": "alt+up",
    "args": {"lineDelta": -8, "charDelta": 0}
  }
  

• works on multiple selections

• ability to only move end point / "active" by setting moveAnchor: false, useful when doing eg. shift-alt-up

Requirements

None. Appart from vscode-extension-starter-guide, this extension is like 10 lines of code.

Extension Settings

Setup in user keybindings by doing cmd+shit+P, open keyboard shortcuts, and editing to your desire as above.
