atom-editor cmd-click for multi-cursors not working anymore after cmd-click on a hyperlink

Question

atom editor on mac osx related:

I did cmd-click on a hyperlink and got a popup (lost it before able to read), and now my cmd-click to set multiple cursors is not working any more.

anybody can tell me how to reactivate multi-cursor by cmd-click again?

Answer 1

For a temporary fix:

1. open the console (you can use ctrl+shift+I shortcut, respectively alt+command+I shortcut on MacOS),
2. run atom.config.set('core.editor.multiCursorOnClick', true);.

Notes: You might also want to take a look at your hyperclick or atom-ide-hyperclick package. In atom preferences, go to Settings and change the Trigger keys for MacOS to become command + click.

Answer 2

I've solved this issue by changing the trigger keys to shift+control+click, in atom-ide-ui, under the Hyperclick section.

Answer 3

found it finally ... it was hyperclick plugin which redefined cmd-click.

But I had hyperclick plugin installed for months, it never interrupted multi-cursor from working ...

anyway ... kind of rubber duck debugging ...
