Let's say I have these lines:

key1 value1
key2 value2
key3 value3
key4 value4

I click just before key hold CTRL ALT and press arrow down few times. Now my cursor is at the beginning of both lines:

|key1 value1
|key2 value2
|key3 value3
|key4 value4

Is there a keyboard-only way to deselect a particular line? I thought it could be CTRL ALT SHIFT and then arrow up but that changes the selection based on the inital cursor (basically selects key1 line and any line above if it exists.

What I want to achieve is to be able to go back to:

|key1 value1
|key2 value2
|key3 value3
key4 value4

But only using keyboard. Sometimes when selecting, I select one extra line - with a mouse it's sometimes a lot of clicking to get to the right position.

CodePudding user response：

CTRL U will undo the last cursor operation.

|key1 value1
|key2 value2
|key3 value3
|key4 value4

CTRL U

|key1 value1
|key2 value2
|key3 value3
key4 value4

The only way to arbitrarily remove cursors is by ALT L-Click on the location of the cursor you would like to remove.
