Expand Selection to Line Upwards

A Sublime Text 3 plugin.

Like the built-in Expand Selection to Line command. But will expand upwards (instead of downwards).

Installation

Package Control

Usage

  1. Keyboard Shortcut

    Default

    • Linux / Windows: Ctrl + Alt + L
    • macOS: Cmd + Opt + L

  2. Main Menu

    Selection --> Expand Selection to Line (Upwards)

Keyboard Shortcut

The default keyboard shortcut has no conflict with other default keyboard shortcuts in Sublime Text 3.

Linux / Windows

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+l"], "command": "expand_selection_to_line_upwards" },

macOS

{ "keys": ["super+alt+l"], "command": "expand_selection_to_line_upwards" },

However, it is recommended to use Ctrl + Shift + L as the keyboard shortcut, as Ctrl + L is the shortcut for the built-in Expand Selection to Line, and adding a Shift to it conventionally suggests going backwards.

But this will require changing the default keyboard shortcut for Selection --> Split into Lines.

Interested users may set this up in Preferences --> Key Bindings using the information below.

Linux / Windows

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+l"], "command": "expand_selection_to_line_upwards" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+l"], "command": "split_selection_into_lines" },

macOS

{ "keys": ["super+shift+l"], "command": "expand_selection_to_line_upwards" },
{ "keys": ["super+alt+l"], "command": "split_selection_into_lines" },

What If I Over-expanded?

Use Soft Undo.

By default, it's Ctrl + U on a Linux / Windows PC, and Cmd + U on a Mac.

Technical Notes

  1. After expansion, the cursor will be placed at the beginning of the line.

  2. This plugin works properly under empty selection (i.e. just a cursor, no selection), one selection, and multiple selections.

  3. Each Soft Undo undoes one expansion (i.e. shrinks one line).
