Hi all,
I really appreciate the multi-cursor functionality that has been added to PLCNext Engineer. However, there are a few improvements that are currently present in VSCode that would be nice to see in the text editor of PLCNext Engineer.
Select all occurrences of current selection
When making a selection, press a shortcut (CTRL + SHIFT + L in VSCode) to place a cursor at all other occurrences of the selection.
Place cursors by dragging
Place cursors by dragging the mouse while holding a shortcut (middle mouse button in VSCode).
Enumerator
Copy a line and add a number at the cursor that increments between each line. If multiple cursors are active, each cursor gets an incremented number. The starting number and step can be set. The VSCode extension, Enumerator by Skyler Windh does a good job of this.
Multi-cursor copying and pasting
Copy multiple lines using multiple cursors. Pasting to the same number of cursors pastes a line from the source at each destination cursor. If the number of lines doesn’t match, all copied lines are pasted to each destination cursor.
Configurable shortcut-keysPretty self-explanatory, and I think it probably has been requested before, but it would be nice to be able to set custom shortcut keys or give shortcuts to actions that don’t have any at the moment (Grouping and alignment of objects in the HMI editor comes to mind).
