Insert Cursor at Beginning of Each Line Selected

Features

This extension overwrites the shortcut for editor.action.insertCursorAtEndOfEachLineSelected (shift+alt+i) and will insert the cursors at the start of the selection, instead of the end.

Extension Settings

If you don't like the opinionated shortcut of this extension and want to keep VS Code's default, you can either unbind this extension's shortcut:

{
    "key": "shift+alt+i",
    "command": "-insert-cursor-at-beginning-of-each-line-selected.insertCursors"
}

Or rebind the default command:

{
    "key": "shift+alt+i",
    "command": "editor.action.insertCursorAtEndOfEachLineSelected",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

Development

npm install
npm run compile
npm test
