Description

Hello there !
I have this habit in Sublime that I can't reproduce with VSCode: holding ⌘ + delete when deleting multiple lines.

But in VSCode with the Sublime keybindings extension installed, this stops at emptying the line the cursor is on, but no more. The empty line won't get removed unless I use only delete, which is annoying.

Is there a way to implement this behavior ?
Thanks.

Research direction

The issue concerns the VS Code Sublime keybindings extension, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. First reproduce holding ⌘ + delete across multiple lines with the extension enabled, then locate the keybinding handling that stops at an empty line. Done means the empty line is removed and repeated deletion continues across lines, with coverage for that behavior.
