Correct "Add Next/Previous Line" behaviour
I'll admit i've discovered this 'inconsistent' behaviour of Add Next/Prev line after some playtime with macros and multiple selections.
As such my feature request might seem quite exotic and not worth implementing. OK, i warned you. :)
What i discovered is when adding next/prev line, Sublime is not that smart where it places the new caret in case there's been non-empty selection.
Consider the following example:
foo bar baz
foo bar| baz
foo bar baz
having the empty selection in the center right after bar when we add previous/next line we end up with multiple selections like this
foo bar| baz
foo bar| baz
foo bar| baz.
Everything's ok here.
Next one is with non-empty selection where [] is the actual region and region.begin() < region.end():
start add prev/next line expected
foo bar baz foo |bar baz foo bar| baz
foo [bar]| baz foo [bar]| baz foo [bar]| baz
foo bar baz foo bar| baz foo bar| baz
What i'd like is Sublime to take into consideration where the end of the region is and place the next region above/below it.
The following exmaple is with reversed regions where region.begin() > region.end()
before after expected
foo bar baz foo |bar baz foo |bar baz
foo |[bar] baz foo |[bar] baz foo |[bar] baz
foo bar baz foo bar| baz foo |bar baz

i solved my problem by writing custom command and overwriting default keybindings.
