Mimic sublime-text behaviour. Fixes #3, Fixes #4

[zo]

Could break habits for a few, but bring back sublime-text and atom duplications for the vast majority of us.

Looking forward to this PR to be merged! :) How could your fork be used as an extension for now? Is this sth VScode allows?

[zo]

Yes, you can remove ContextualDuplicate from vscode and git-clone my fork in extensions folder (~/.vscode/extensions)

I can understand why @lafe is not thrilled to maintain code he mostly not write himself...
(I would be happy to explain it if you have some time to review / ask questions)

Also, I think this behaviour should be native in vscode !
So, be sure to thumb up the related issue : microsoft/vscode#2075

Just tried to remove original extension and clone yours in the specified folder. The extension appears in the list (in green btw), but when running command, I'm getting the error command 'lafe.duplicateCode' not found. Any idea?

PS. Thumbed up ;)

[zo]

Ho yeah, it's written in TypeScript, you should run npm install in the cloned folder
and then npm run vscode:prepublish

It worked, thanks! For others, don't forget to checkout the right branch before running above commands: https://github.com/zo/ContextualDuplicate/tree/st-like

Looks like this hasn't merged, I found this extension that provides this functionality:

Step by step for anyone who wants to get this working

First, uninstall ContextualDuplicate

cd ~/.vscode/extensions
git clone https://github.com/zo/ContextualDuplicate
cd ContextualDuplicate
git checkout st-like
npm install
npm run vscode:prepublish

Then open keybindings.json and add this to map it to ctrl+shift+d

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+d",
    "command": "lafe.duplicateCode"
}

all done!

This worked for me:

don't uninstall ContextualDuplicate

Then like @blunket

cd ~/.vscode/extensions
git clone https://github.com/zo/ContextualDuplicate
cd ContextualDuplicate
git checkout st-like
npm install
npm run vscode:prepublish

And then

copy extension.js from ContextualDuplicate\out\src to lafe.contextualduplicate-0.2.0\out\src
delete folder ContextualDuplicate
