Sometimes selections contain surrounding whitespace which can get in the way of your editing. This can come handy if the regions don't fit on one screen and you want to avoid scrolling through the whole file. In case you want to double check your current selections, MultiEditUtils' cycle_through_regions command (default keybinding is ctrl/cmd+alt+c) will let you cycle through the active regions. To avoid this, just execute MultiEditUtils' jump_to_last_region command (default keybinding is shift+esc) and the cursor will jump to the last region. This can be annoying if the regions were scattered throughout the current buffer and you want to continue your work at the last region. When exiting multi selection mode, Sublime will set the cursor to the first region of your previous selection. This feature can also be very handy when you want to toggle the selection end of a single region. When executing this command a second time, all regions will be reversed. To resolve this, you can normalize the regions with MultiEditUtils' normalize_region_ends command (default keybinding is ctrl/cmd+alt+n). This happens when you make the selection 'backwards'. When creating selections in Sublime, it can occur that the end of the selection comes before the beginning. MultiEditUtils allows to select the desired parts individually and merge the selections with the add_last_selection command (default keybinding is ctrl/cmd+alt+u). Sometimes Sublime's standard features for creating multiple selections won't cut it. An empty separator will split the selection into its characters.Įxtend the current selection with the last selection MultiEditUtils' split_selection command (default keybinding is ctrl/cmd+alt+,) will ask you for a separator and split the selection using your input. Sublime has a default command to split selections into lines, but sometimes you want to define your own splitting character(s). Just invoke 'Preserve case' via the command palette (or define an own keybinding) and type in the new identifier. The 'Preserve case' feature facilitates this. When multi-selecting all occurences of an identifier it is cumbersome to change it to another one if the case differs (camelCase, PascalCase, UPPER CASE and even cases with separators like snake_case, dash-case, dot.case etc.).
