How to get the lines with a cursor programatically in VS Code?

Question

I know I can get a single line doing this:

editor.document.lineAt(editor.selection.active.line).text

But I'm wondering how to do the equivalent when I have multiple cursors. I haven't found any reference to multiline cursors in the API docs.

Answer 1

Check the docs for selection:

The primary selection on this text editor. Shorthand for TextEditor.selections[0].

If there are multiple cursors, the selections array will simply have more than one element.
