The shortcut for multi-line select in VS Code is Alt + Click. This shortcut allows you to select multiple lines of code simultaneously, making it easier to edit, copy, or move them.
How to use it:
- Select the first line: Click on the line number to select an entire line.
- Hold down Alt key and click on the line number of the next line you want to select. This will add the line to your selection.
- Repeat the process for all lines you want to select.
Practical Insights:
- Multiple selections: You can select multiple non-contiguous lines by holding down Alt and clicking on the line numbers.
- Column Selection: You can also use Alt + Shift + Arrow keys to select a column of text.
- Drag and Drop: Once you have selected multiple lines, you can drag and drop them to a different location in your code.
