When I fold a section of code (using > in margin) and then try to copy or cut that entire section of folded code, vscode only selects the first line and ignores the rest of the folded code. How can I select and entire section of folded code, without the need to expand the folded section before selection?

Try selecting till the next line, below the fold :

I have a snippet. I want to select multiple lines - a set of relative paths to images that I have pasted in - and have the snippet be applied to each line separately. The snippet menu doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as Emmet (* treats each line separately)
add multi cursors at each line: use Ctrl+Alt+Down or Ctrl+Alt+Up
or any other method for multi cursor if you have few Alt+Click or a lot Shift+Alt+Click
select the text of each line
type the snippet prefix and select the snippet
this works if the snippet uses the variable ${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}
Is there in vscode a shortcut available which selects a whole section at once? I'd like a shortcut that would select one line of code if it's a single line, or if a section includes any closures it should collect everything including the preceding code before the opening and end at the the relevant closure.
Also see: Is there in vscode an option to: Select everything between matching brackets
Edit:
Basically I want a shortcut to highlight this whole phrase at once:
if 1 == 1 {
** do stuff
}
that I can also use to highlight single lines of code:
** second do stuff
I want to select multiple lines and put a cursor at the beginning of each line. Sublime Text can do this with Ctrl-Shift-L
select multiple lines
ctrl + shift + L and then put cursor at beginning of each line
Press Crtl + Shift + Alt + Arrow up/down to select multiple lines in Visual Studio Code. Note that the selected lines will be in one column (if possible).
You can also mark some lines and then do this combination and you have all selected lines included.
Moreover you can press and hold Alt and click the lines you need. This way you can select multiple lines that are not neighbours or in the same column.
To do exactly what Ctrl-Shift-L does in Sublime Text, you must do:
On Windows:
Select the lines.
Alt-Shift-I (will add multiple cursors)
Shift-Home (will go at the beginning of each line and be selected)
On Mac :
Select the lines.
alt-shift-I (will add multiple cursors)
cmd-shift-←
(will go at the beginning of each line and be selected)
More information in this answer.
Put cursor at beginning of first line
Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Arrow down/up will put a cursor at the beginning of the following/preceding lines
Ctrl-I will select those lines with the cursor at the beginning of each line.
NOTE : On my vscode the cursors look like they might be shifted down one line but they actually are not - the are in the right place. If you start typing, it works but you have to hit Enter when you are done to get back separate lines. It is a little quirky but works as you would expect.
EDIT (using a hint from #Maxime's answer)
Select your test first.
Alt-Shift-I : puts cursors at the end of each of those lines but text unselected (I as in island not a lowercase L)
Function-Home : put cursors at beginning of each line.
Ctrl-I : selects all lines.
Important: read the NOTE above.
--------------------- v1.43 see How to put the cursor at the end of all selected lines in Visual Studio Code? with column selection mode it is easy to put the cursor at the beginning or end of lines selected by dragging.
You can hold alt and click the places you need with the mouse. This way you can select rows that aren't related, like row 10,15,18. Also you can select at different places in the same row.
I hope this helps someone, but there is a setting in VSCode called Editor: Multi Cursor Modifier which may do what OP is asking:
Say I am in org-mode in a document with the following structure:
* First headline
* Second headline
** Section A
Here is one line
Here is another line
blah, blah
** Section B
Say the cursor is on the line that reads Here is another line. I would like to collapse ** Section A from this location with a keyboard shortcut.
If I press <TAB> it does not collapse ** Section A, as I would need the cursor to be on the stars for this to work.
If I press <Shift-TAB> it collapses all outlines, and not the current one.
Is there any way to cycle through the collapsing of the outline in scope (i.e. the "current outline")?
You can customize the behaviour of the org-cycle command (which is bound to <TAB>) by changing the value of org-cycle-emulate-tab.
To get it to collapse ** Section A when your cursor is on Here is another line add the following line to your .emacs file:
(setq org-cycle-emulate-tab 'white)
The white will allow you to still use <TAB> to indent in empty lines. From org-mode Github:
org-cycle-emulate-tab's value is t
Documentation:
Where should `org-cycle' emulate TAB.
nil Never
white Only in completely white lines
whitestart Only at the beginning of lines, before the first non-white char
t Everywhere except in headlines
exc-hl-bol Everywhere except at the start of a headline
If you don't mind doing this in two steps:
C-c C-p: move the cursor to the previous heading (** Section A in your example)
TAB: fold the section
This method doesn't require any configuration, as long as you get used to it.
In Eclipse, I can format comments by selecting them and pressing Shift + Ctrl + F. For example, when I select a method comment like this:
/**
* This method
* does some stuff.
*/
and press Shift + Ctrl + F, Eclipse automatically wraps it:
/**
* This method does some stuff.
*/
Is there anything comparable to this in IDEA?
EDIT: To clarify, I'm looking for comment formatting that also breaks lines that are too long into multiple lines.
The closest thing that you can get is Edit | Join Lines (Ctrl+Shift+J). You have to select the lines you want to join first.
To wrap long comments enable Settings | Code Style | JavaDoc | Wrap at right margin.
For Javadoc comments, you want to make sure the "Wrap at right margin" setting is checked. See Code Style > JavaDoc, under "Other". However, this setting only seems to take effect when you reformat the whole file, since a reformat of just the Javadoc (i.e., select the Javadoc, then do a Code (menu) > Reformat Code... or CtrlAltL) that exceeds the right margin doesn't force it to wrap. If I reformat the entire file, then it wraps at the margin as expected.
This seems like a bug (though one that doesn't seem to have been reported), since if you have to set the "Ensure right margin is not exceeded" checked, then selecting the Javadoc text and doing a reformat code does indeed wrap the lines. This setting is in Settings > Code Style > Wrapping and Braces. You can also do a search in the Settings dialog for "ensure right margin".
You'll still have to manually join the lines using CtrlShiftJ
This might be worthy of an improvement request to JetBrains.
Existing comment will be reformatted when you do "Reformat Code" (⌥⌘L in Mac).
#kghastie uncovered the key.
Steps:
Set the Code Style > Java > JavaDoc > Wrap at right margin setting.
Select the full lines of the entire JavaDoc comment.
Reformat Code (Ctrl-Alt-L or ⌥⌘L).
Lesser alternative:
Set the Code Style > Java > JavaDoc > Wrap at right margin setting and the Code Style > Java > Wrapping and Braces > Ensure right margin is not exceeded setting.
Select some text within a JavaDoc comment.
Join Lines (Ctrl-Shift-J) followed by reformat Code (Ctrl-Alt-L or ⌥⌘L).
Beware: This will leave all the selected lines joined even where you had paragraph breaks (<p/> or \n\n).
The JetBrains plugin Wrap to Column is made for this:
From the overview:
Wraps text to the specified column width. Similar to the Emacs command 'Fill Paragraph' and Vim's gq (format lines) command. This is a replacement for the native Intellij Fill Paragraph command, which doesn't work quite how I need it to.
This plugin provies two IDE actions:
Wrap Line to Column: Wraps selected text or the current line if no text is selected. This is useful for IdeaVim users who wish to pair the command with motions like vip (select current paragraph).
Wrap Paragraph to Column: Wraps the paragraph (multiple lines) in which the cursor appears. No selection is needed, and will be ignored.
I'm using IntelliJ 14 on a Mac, which has a Fill Paragraph command. Access it via the awesome universal Command-Shift-A action search feature. Works like a charm!
This is a hack, not a really good solution, but if you have a block of code that you want formatted like this and it's in serious need of auto format, because it's going over the 80 line max, or it's just unreadable...
You can just put if ("foo" == "bar") { on top of whatever you want formatted, and then and the} at the bottom of the if statement, to close it, and voila, your code should auto-indent, auto format, etc... Then take it out, highlight all of what you just formatted and press SHIFT+TAB to move it back 4 spaces and remove the dummy if statement
