I have begun using atom full time and loving it for the most part. One thing I miss is the ability to expand alt selection up or down from all cursors.
- Does this feature currently exist?
- If not does anyone have any idea if a package might be capable of implementing such a feature?
Let me explain a bit more:
In Sublime Text 2/3 we could have multiple cursors. Anything action performed would happen on all cursors. Such as shift+right would select text from all cursors right one character. I had mapped alt+shift+up and alt+shift+down to the sublime select_lines
command for forward and reverse respectively. These actions would also be applied to all cursors. So, if I had a cursor on line 10 and 20 and I used the down combo I would have a cursor on lines 10,11 and 20,21. In atom, using alt+down will expandDown
to the next line down. But, this only happens from the last placed cursor.
Please note that I already use multi-cursor which does not provide the desired functionality. It is also limited to expanding the selection from the last created cursor though it does help with other things.
