Permuteatron

A clutch of Sublime Text-style editing moves, brought home to VS Code.

Line permutation, quick deduping, and selection splitting that makes multi-cursor work feel snappy. Small, direct, and oddly satisfying when you have a block of text that needs a tidy little shuffle.

Reordering a list. Cleaning repeated values. Preparing test data. Editing columns of similar text. These are the tiny chores that interrupt real work — Permuteatron makes each of them a single command, then gets out of the way.

Reorder lines

Reverse selected lines, shuffle them, or remove duplicates while keeping the first occurrence. A tidy shuffle, one keystroke away.

分割 · split

Selection into cursors

Split a selection into one cursor per line — placed at the beginning, the end, or the active column — so multi-cursor edits feel instant.

列 · columns

Column cursors

Split into column cursors for editing aligned blocks of similar text without counting spaces by hand.

手元 · at hand

Where you expect it

Handy keyboard shortcuts for fast multi-cursor work, plus the permutation commands tucked into the editor context menu.

入手 · get it

Tiny tool, big relief.

The sort of editor polish you miss the second it is gone. Permuteatron is on the Visual Studio Marketplace — install it and forget it's there until it saves you, again.
