When having multi line text in the clipboard and pasting, VS Code will check if the clipboard text line count matches the cursor count, and if it does, it will "distribute" each line to a cursor.

  • Copy the following text to the clipboard:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
  • Create 3 cursors (to match the line count)
  • Paste

80624

Add an option to disable this "distributed" paste:
80624-2

The option is called editor.multiCursorPaste and can have the value spread or full. spread is the default to maintain compatibility with the current behavior.

Hi, seems like spread in Multi Cursor Paste does not work any more as of 1.39.2.
Any option behaves like full. Could you please check it?

@rshakerov Can you please open a new issue with precise steps? I have checked and IMHO the spread behaves fine.

@rshakerov Did you solve your issue? @alexandrudima I have the same issue: multiCursorPaste "spread" is not working in 1.39.2 (Windows).

Yes, after restarting VS Code it came back to normal.
