Bug ID: 497863
Summary: Paste from clipboard to multiple cursors
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nomot16...@ociun.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When pasting to multiple cursors Kate should check if number of lines in the
clipboard is the same as number of multiple cursors and split those lines to
corresponding cursor, i.e. each cursor should get single line from the
clipboard.
With current implementation in Kate every cursor gets all the lines from the
clipboard.
This is example of similar implementation in Visual Studio Code:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/4fa5611d67dc84e105e9cd155a746f2d7813d9a0/src/vs/editor/common/cursor/cursorTypeEditOperations.ts#L676
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
If we have text like this:
```
a
b
c
1
2
3
```
In Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code it is possible to cut three lines with
numbers to the clipboard, select lines with letters, do split to multiple
lines, use Home to put cursor at line start, make paste and get this:
EXPECTED RESULT
```
1a
2b
3c
```
OBSERVED RESULT
In Kate 24.08.3 we get this:
```
1
2
3a
1
2
3b
1
2
3c
```
