It would be awesome to have this feature. It exists in Sublime Text and I use it all the time.

chrmarti commented 7 years ago

You can do this with Alt + Click.

Not on my computer (normal keyboard (not mac), ubuntu)

chrmarti commented 7 years ago

@tobiasfeil Which keyboard layout are you using? Which version of Ubuntu?

tobiasfeil commented 7 years ago

Tried it with both German and English (US) on Ubuntu 16.04

tobiasfeil commented 7 years ago

I just tried it on Windows (same hardware, dual boot) and it worked. I will say that I would find ctrl+click more intuitive, since that's how multiple selection works in every other environment, like selecting multiple files in the Explorer, selecting multiple units in Age Of Empires... ;) But I'm sure you guys had reasons why you chose Alt. Thanks!

doesn't work for me either, German keyboard on Mint 17. Alt+Left is bound to drag window - maybe specific to cinnamon desktop?

chrmarti commented 7 years ago

Could you confirm you are still seeing this with our latest release 1.11.2?

paulpflug commented 7 years ago

yes, on 1.11.2

tobiasfeil commented 7 years ago

Yeah me too. 1.11.2 and still not working

mkvlrn-cm42 commented 7 years ago

Using Mint Mate 18, VSCode 1.11.2

Mint comes with alt + left click bound to the "Move Window" gnome action, so the key+click never reaches VSCode.

Once the action is removed/disabled in gnome (screenshot attached), it should reach VSCode, but it still doesn't work.
