Better Line Select

Line selection on steroids.

Features

This extension does the following:

• Select whole lines, including the next newline symbol (\n)
• Expand the line selection downwards (cmd+l / ctrl+l)
• Expand the line selection upwards (cmd+shift+l / ctrl+shift+l)
• Most important: Keep already selected text when switching directions!

Extension Settings

If you don't like the opinionated shortcuts of this extension, you can unbind them via (substitute cmd / ctrl depending on your platform):

{
    "key": "cmd+l",
    "command": "-better-line-select.downward"
},
{
    "key": "cmd+shift+l",
    "command": "-better-line-select.upward"
}
