I have the following code:

CList.Add( new CodeStuff(941,"National List Limit CList.Add( new CodeStuff(945,"Code not used CList.Add( new CodeStuff(946,"State Building Height Limit CList.Add( new CodeStuff(993,"Building Material Type CList.Add( new CodeStuff(1033,"Not used - requirements changed CList.Add( new CodeStuff(1034,"Current Unacceptable Applications CList.Add( new CodeStuff(1035,"Historical Unacceptable Applications

I got the first bit using Alt+Shift+mouse button and typing. How do I add "); to the end of each line?

I had to use Notepad++ macro recording to do it and this is the only reason I still hang on to that editor. If someone can tell me how to do it in VSCode, I'd be very grateful.

Not completely sure I understand, but Shift-Alt-I will put a cursor at the end of all selected lines so just select your text and Shift-Alt-I (that is an 'eye' at the end). Then typing "); will put that at the end of each line.

---------------------- Edit -------------------------------

I see that Column Selection Mode (in v1.43) does this nicely now (with Selection/Column Selection Mode enabled) depending on your direction of selection [unfortunately the gif does a poor job of showing the cursors but they are all at the beginning or ends of the lines depending on the direction of selection]:

Brilliant, thank you, had been missing this shortcut for a while now and couldn't find it anywhere!

On Mac Vscode, I believe the trick is to "mouse" select the lines you wish to append, then hit Shift+Option+I.

I keep thinking that's a lowercase L, but it's really a capital i! Thank you!

On Windows 10, if I hit ShiftAltI, all the cursors go to the beginning of each line. To move the cursors to the end of each line, simply hit the End key after that.
