Description
When using a find/replace macro, I would like to remain at my original selection.
I use the following find/replace macro:
{ "after": [ ":", "%", "s", "/", "\", "<", "", "", "\", ">", "/" ], "before": [ "", "s" ] },
Which after executing puts the cursor on the line of the last replacement. I would like the cursor to remain at the original line.
