More multiple cursor magic 🪄

How to add a cursor to every line #shorts

[TomDoesTech]

The VSCode team thinks of so many thing I didn't even know I needed!

I did a similar thing but it had all words in the dictionary. I had them stored in a database to make the word validation times quicker. Couldn’t really think of a better way. The JS made a XHR to a php API that communicates with the dB.

Cool and well-know VSCode feature, but I mean you could as well read the file from the URL directly, and save so many lines of code.

I usually use alt + shift magic with Home and End button, it would be more straight forward 😂

[dalgo_na]

Why didn't I know of this when I needed this 😔😔

[ocaly]

using "end" and "home" keys is actual magic sometimes. when doing repeating work with macros or stuff like this

Oh my, my secret skill is introduced here.…

Learn regex replace. Every major editor has this feature, including VS Code. If you're doing any kind of development you should know how to write regexes anyway.

split('\n'): am I a joke to you?

VsVim users be like :
"Look what they do to mimic a fraction of our power"

Lol. I've just been replacing \n with ", \n" ... Regex style

This project was a huge relief as wordle only allows one game per day. And thank you for mentioning me. ☺

Vim version: Press C-v to select columns. Then press I to insert in each column.

Or you could just use a Vim macro.

When i need to do this, i usually do a Find+Replace the \n with ", \n\t". The cursor strategy might be faster, though. :)

NeoVim/Vim users:
"Look What They Need to Mimic a Fraction of Our Power"

Isn't it easier just to store a file containing all of those and then just read it and then pick a random word from line array?

[utilyre]

Fun fact: vim has had this feature (in an easier way) since many years ago

[happywednesday]

What I do is put the words without a quote in a csv and then upload this to a sql server and then I write a quick Django app with a list template and just simply copy and paste the results of that once running the app, and then I write all the words out one by one and add quotes to each as I do 👍🏻

My personal way is to use Notepad++'s search and replace feature in extended or regex mode (regex only for edge cases and difficult tasks).
With extended mode, you can do something like
Find: \r\n
Replace with: \r\n"

Find: \r\n
Replace with: ", \r\n
And voila

[demeter]

Ctrl+H, match (\n\t), replace (, \n\t)

I'm just using the parentheses for clarity, but it also wouldn't matter for the matching if you use regex.
