Introduction
VSCode is very handy, isn’t it? I had been using Sublime Text 3 for a long time, but the “IMESupport” behavior on Windows 10 was causing various issues I couldn’t tolerate, so I switched to VSCode.
I use VSCode not just for drafting emails and occasionally writing code, but also for viewing CSV files and various logs. When formatting logs or CSV files, I sometimes need to make column selections of more than 10,000 rows, and in VSCode, the following error message appears:
Cause
As shown in the code below, “MAX_CURSOR_COUNT” is hardcoded, so column selections of more than 10,000 rows are not possible.
[GitHub] Microsoft/vscode: Visual Studio Code
public static MAX_CURSOR_COUNT = 10000;
Workaround
Based on my research online, there is no workaround. Use a different editor instead.
Notes
I learned about this issue from an answer when I asked on teratail:
