feat: preserve selection when creating cursors from visual mode #51

Closed b0o closed 5 months ago

For example, in this scenario:

It would be nice if each subsequent cursor maintained the visual selection of ipsum.

You're using the search command (MultipleCursorsAddMatches) to add the cursors, right?

b0o commented 5 months ago

In the screencast above, I was creating a visual selection and then using MultipleCursorsAddDown.

It would be nice if it worked in all cases, MultipleCursorsAdd{Up,Down} and MultipleCursorsAddMatches.

(I used to use mg979/vim-visual-multi and that's how it worked there.)

brenton-leighton commented 5 months ago

OK I think I can do that.

brenton-leighton commented 5 months ago

I think this should do it: #54.

Let me know if it's OK.
