While having multiple carets, is it possible to search for a character, and each caret will jump to the location of that character relative to the caret position?
For example, in the screenshot below, how to do jump to the next comma (',') for each of the carets?
One awkward method which sometimes can do the job is:
Change to column selection
Select the area where all relevant search results appear
Apply "Replace..."
Ensure "In Selection" is checked
Type the search string
Click "Select All Occurrences"
Would be much nicer if Incremental Search would work with multi-carets.
For example, I have a string wrapped in quotation marks, and I need select it all string wrapped. I usually select one by one each word using "Shift+Ctrl+Right Row" to the end. But it's not cool.
You can select the entire word by using the shortcut Alt+Shift+PERIOD.
if you are in a line with several words you can use this shortcut several times and the selection will move to the next words.
If by any chance you don't like the shortcut you can change it.
In Netbeans just go to menu Tools -> Options and choose Keymap. The shortcut that you will be looking is "Select Next Element".
Is there any way to select the whole line at caret in IntelliJ 15? I know you can select the current word (ctl + w), go to beginning/end of line but I can't find a current line selection feature.
Simply hit
ctrl+c
Note that for this to select the whole line, you need to ensure that nothing is already selected; otherwise it'll work as an usual "copy" command.
move caret to line
on Windows, press ctrl+shift+a .
This popup appears, where you find Select Line at Caret
for quick access, you can specify a shortcut in Settings
I would like to also add the following from JetBrains website. Because, that what i was looking for here, but no one mentioned it.
1- To select text from the current caret position to the beginning/end of
the current word:
Ctrl+Shift+Left, Ctrl+Shift+Right.
2- To select text from the caret
position to the beginning/end of the current line:
Double-click Ctrl and press Home/End
3- To select text from the current
caret position to the top/bottom of the screen:
Ctrl+Shift+Page Up, Ctrl+Shift+Page Down.
If none of the above are working, I suggest using end and home keys in combination with shift allowing you to select lines quickly.
Go to the end of the line and hit Ctrl+W. If you'll hit Ctrl+W at the beginning of the line it will select only one word.
Not a keyboard feature, but nice to use:
to select the whole row just click on row number on the left of the code.
In addition to that you can click and drag selection.
Moreover, you can doubleclick on the number of the first line of method which results selection of the whole method.
I'm looking for a "select each occurrence of" something I'm trying to find. For example a file has a bunch of text that includes "abc", I type ctrl+f and type abc. I can either find the first one or the next one, but I would like to "multi-cursor" each one in the file.
I've already found the feature that lets me highlight text and ctrl+d to get the next that matches the selection, but if there's a hundred of these things - well that gets quite tiresome.
Ctrl+Shift+L Select all occurrences of current selection
editor.action.selectHighlights
Ctrl+F2 Select all occurrences of current word
editor.action.changeAll
Please refer for more information here.
Alt+Enter Select all occurrences of find match
editor.action.selectAllMatches
This has the added benefit of working with Regular Expression searches, since selecting occurrences of a word of a selection cannot leverage the Regex functionality.
I know this thread is here for a while now, but I think this will be helpful:
This thread on Github talks exactly about it:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/5715
Summary:
Ctrl+F --> Open find widegt.
Alt+R --> Turn on regex mode.
Input search text --> Regex text or normal text.
Alt+Enter --> Select all matches.
Left arrow --> Ajust cursors.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the ---selected text.)
Edit text --> Do what you want.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the -selected text.)
Shift+Home --> Select modified text.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the selected text.)
Ctrl+C --> Copy selected text.
Ctrl+N --> Open a new tab.
Ctrl+V --> Paste.
well , basically the Ctrl+Shift+L will select all occurrences of word in the document BUT
there is some coool way to selecting them growingly:
if you hit Ctrl+d it will selects the second match , it you hit Ctrl+d again it will match the third one and so on ....
For Mach User:
COMMAND + Shift+ L Select all occurrences of the current selection
COMMAND + F2 Select all occurrences of the current word
For mac users::
Control + Command + G
^ + ⌘ + G
Ctrl+F2 is what worked for me for VSCode on Windows 10.
While Ctrl+Shift+L just opened some Language selector.
If you are searching in a single file, use simple search using Ctrl+F, then even if you close the search box, simply keep pressing F3 to go to next match and so on. F3 just repeats previous search and selects your next match.
On Mac:
Ctrl+F to open the find menu in top right:
Select the third option within the input and add the regex you want to match.
Ctrl+Shift+L to select all items that match.
Hope that helps!
I have a text box control and I want to select a multiple ranges of text when i click on button.
for example:
the text is :"I want to select"
and I want that the selected words will be "want" and "select".
do you have an idea of how to implement this?
thanks,pavel.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but:
var words = textBox1.Trim().Split(' ');
Then you have an array of strings of all words. . Trim() ensures that you don't have any spaces in front or after the 'sentence'.
