Expand line selection does not select all of wrapped line

[OliverJAsh]

• VSCode Version: latest

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enable line wrapping
2. Go to a wrapped line
3. Run the expandLineSelection command e.g. cmd+i

Expected: all lines in the wrapped line will be selected

Actual: only the current line of the wrapped line is selected

Ran into this as well. I have to resort to disabling line-wrap, selecting, then re-enabling it.

Also encountered this issue. I think it might be giving me problems when I am cutting and pasting, because I would copy only the non-wrapped part, then paste that instead of the full line.

Any known workaround for this, except making window wider?

[rebornix]

We can probably expand the selection the while line when users press cmd+i the second time, which means the workflow becomes

• cmd+i selects the wrapped line
• Second cmd+i selects all

[sashkab]

@rebornix this might work, but if user has multiple selections and the case were one line wraps, but second doesn't -- it might not work as expected. ideally, cmd+i should select whole line, even if it wraps.

Is there any movement on this issue? I could have sworn that in the past wrapped lines were selected with a single Ctrl-L (or Ctrl-I previously). I used to be on Mac, and now am on Linux. At some point this changed, and wrapped lines are no longer selected entirely.

Same here, using the latest insiders build. I can't believe that issue like this remains open for 2 years.

+1 for changing this behaviour or adding a setting to control it. Other line actions like copyLinesDown do not depend on zoom/wrap settings.
