quick multi cursor
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Kakoune is expected to search a word with multi-cursor.
You can select a word and put the selection in search buffer with ' * '
After, you can mutli-select the next identical word with <shift+n>.
In Dance, is there a way to do the same ? We can copy a word and after search with < / > and paste it but it is very long to do compare to Kakoune.
Does *<s-n> not work for you? It's also implemented in Dance. I just tried it and it works both in 0.5 (on master) and in 0.4 (in the marketplace).
Not work for me. if I press ' * ' it replaces the word with ' * '.
But ok it is good if already implemented. I will look to find why it is not working for me.
Thanks
What keyboard layout do you use? By default, Dance uses Shift+8 for *, since in VS Code we can't directly bind to the key *. Try opening the command palette and searching for Dance: Search current selection (smart), the key it is bound to will be shown on the right.
I can see "Shift + _" (Recently used)
Strange. Are you on Dance 0.5 or 0.4 (if you cloned the repository it's 0.5, otherwise it's 0.4)? On 0.4, the name is "Search current selections (smart)"
Plug in is automatically installed by vscode(1.55.2) and name is "Search current selections (smart)".
It seems to be 0.4
Then that's 0.4. That command "Search current selections (smart)" did not work (instead of *)?
it is working if I use "Search current selections (smart)" instead of '*'
I think it's a keyboard layout issue. I suggest you bind the command to the * key in the keybindings UI in VS Code. It will automatically pick the key that corresponds to your keyboard layout.
I tried, it is working like that.
Thanks
