This extension adds an action to vscode to duplicate the current selection.

Adds the action duplicateselection.action.copySelectionForwardAction and duplicateselection.action.copySelectionBackwardAction

To get a behaviour similar to SublimeText or Notepad++ you can use the following in your keybindings.json:

{
	"key": "ctrl+d",
	"command": "editor.action.copyLinesDownAction",
	"when":  "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly && !editorHasSelection"
},
{
	"key": "ctrl+d",
	"command": "duplicateselection.action.copySelectionForwardAction",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly && editorHasSelection"
}

None.

Minor cleanups:

• added some documentation
• added licence
• code cleanup
• added some tests
• removed bug with multiple selection in backward copy

Initial release of DuplicateSelection. Does nothing else as what is mentioned in the features.

When using duplicateselection.action.copySelectionBackwardAction the message "Edits from command duplicateselection.action.copySelectionBackwardAction were not applied." is displayed in the terminal.
