Extra Actions for IntelliJ

This is a plugin for IntelliJ based IDEs (IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, etc.) and it provides some additional actions:

Split Selection into Lines

Adds a new caret at each line of the selection, it works the same way as in Sublime Text. Recommended shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L

Split Selection

Splits selection into multiple carets by custom character(s). Recommended shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L

Break Quotes

Splits a string literal at the caret position and adds concatenation operators with the caret between them. For example: var a = "Hello |world."; will become var a = "Hello " + | + "world.". It works in most languages and with multiple carets. Recommended shortcut: Ctrl+.
