These are a bunch of VS Code editing keyboard combinations that I find useful, but often struggle to recall.

### Multi line select and edit. ###
Highlight some text then use the keyboard combination below to select for simultaneous editing.
<p>MacOS: <code class="highlight">Shift</code> +
<code class="highlight">Cmd</code> +
<code class="highlight">L</code></p>

<p>Windows / Linux:  <code class="highlight">Shift</code> +
<code class="highlight">Ctrl</code> +
<code class="highlight">L</code></p>

### Select cursor on mutliple lines ###
Select a block of multiple lines. Then use the key combination below to put cursors at the end of every line.
<p>MacOS: <code class="highlight">Shift</code> +
<code class="highlight">Alt</code> +
<code class="highlight">I</code></p>

I'll add more as I discover (and need) more editing features...
