About Text Pastry
Text Pastry for VS Code
Text Pastry lets you reduce repetitive work and use multiple cursors more effectively in VS Code.
This extension is based on the Text Pastry extension for Sublime Text. From their readme:
If you're familiar with multiple selections, it's pretty straight forward. Place multiple cursors by using [alt+click], open the Command Palette and select Text Pastry From 1 to X. That's it! We've just pasted incrementing numbers.
Features
The following commands are added to VS Code by this extension. The default keyboard shortcut to trigger the command pallet is cmd+shift+p
