I currently use Atom with the vim-mode-plus extension as my text editor, and I have been recommended to try VS Code (with the vim extension). I am enjoying it so far, but am missing the ability to select all the occurences of the word under the cursor. I find this useful to change/delete variables in only a few lines.

If I try the VS Code way of using ctrl+shift+l to select all occurences, as soon as I press either c or d then it applies this action to all occurences throughout the document. Ideally, I would like to be able to press c2j to only affect the occurences in the current and next line down.

Thanks.

  • This is exactly what has kept me from switching as well. But with the announcement of the sunset of Atom.... I fear my learned shortcuts are going to be getting me into trouble very soon. I hope someone is able/willing to port some of this "advanced" vim mode plus functionality! – Mr Mikkél Jun 08 '22 at 17:23
  • Man I keep coming back to this post hoping there's been some movement in this direction! Wish I had the time myself to contribute to making it happen, especially now that I have to use VS Code. – Mr Mikkél Mar 07 '23 at 21:38
