Im trying to do a search on code thats writing different bits to the same register (something like the following)
register_a.1 = 1
register_b.3 = 0
register_c.2 = 0
register_d.4 = 1
register_a.2 = 1
register_b.2 = 0
register_c.1 = 0
register_d.4 = 1
register_a.3 = 1
register_b.3 = 0
register_c.2 = 0
register_d.3 = 1
i click on the first reference to register_a and hit ^d multiple times to mark each instance. Now i need to cut the entire line not just the marked “register_a” instances. I have multiple cursors but if i move any of them im left with only one. I tried moving the cursor to the start of the line and hitting shift cursor down to mark each line but the “home” operation kills all but the first cursor.
how can i do this?
this might actually be a bug because if i mark only a few of these items so that all the marks are on screen i CAN move all the cursors but if i mark enough that any of the cursors are off display any time i move them all but the first disappear.
p.s. just for some context the ACTUAL code i am working on is GPIO configuration for a Texus Instruments DSP and the code comes directly from TI. There are 36 GPIO pins and for the first 32 pins each one is configured by writing ONE BIT into the same set of registers over and over and over and over and over. What I want to see is a single write of ONE 32 bit value to registers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 etc etc and turn the absolute NIGHTMARE configuration file into something readable.
