If you are an Emacs user, you can enable the mode for ctrl+v and alt+v by editing keybindings.json as follows:
[
{
"key": "ctrl+v",
"command": "cursorPageDown",
"when": "textInputFocus"
},
{
"key": "alt+v",
"command": "cursorPageUp",
"when": "textInputFocus"
},
{
"key": "ctrl+v",
"command": "cursorPageDownSelect",
"when": "editorTextFocus && inStickySelectionMode"
},
{
"key": "alt+v",
"command": "cursorPageUpSelect",
"when": "editorTextFocus && inStickySelectionMode"
}
]
In such manners, you can support other move commands including those of third parties.
By default, sticky-selection-mode continues even if you execute commands such as cut and paste. You can exit the mode after execution by taking these commands as arguments to sticky-selection.exitStickySelectionMode as follows:
[
{
"key": "cmd+x",
"command": "sticky-selection.exitStickySelectionMode",
"args": {
"command": "editor.action.clipboardCutAction",
"delay": 100
},
"when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly && inStickySelectionMode"
},
{
"key": "cmd+c",
"command": "sticky-selection.exitStickySelectionMode",
"args": {
"command": "editor.action.clipboardCopyAction",
"delay": 100
},
"when": "editorTextFocus && inStickySelectionMode"
},
{
"key": "cmd+v",
"command": "sticky-selection.exitStickySelectionMode",
"args": {
"command": "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction",
"delay": 100
},
"when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly && inStickySelectionMode"
}
]
In such manners, you can support other commands such as backspace and delete.
