Unable to add multiple cursors in editor #590

Open michaelsboost opened 3 months ago

michaelsboost commented 3 months ago

The Ctrl key is nice (ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+z all worked fine, but ctrl+shift+z failed), but my attempt to use the ctrl key to add multiple cursors in my IDE failed. I tried another that required the Alt key and it also failed. In addition, another issue I have is when the shift key is enabled/active. When I tap on another area in the IDE or even a Notepad, it doesn't create a selection from the cursors' starting position. Lastly, have arrow keys instead of space bar or the other slide option.

After reading the documentation of the editor it makes sense why taps don't work to add another cursor because it requires a mouse event which won't work for phones - https://codemirror.net/docs/ref/#view.EditorView%5EclickAddsSelectionRange

Thanks for the issue. It's possible that a tap is turned into a mouse event. Can you log the keyboard and mouse events and see ? We'd see whether the editor receives the ctrl event or not.

try ctrl+y instead of ctrl+shift+z

it seems most more modern applications use that keybinding for redo instead
