From 4315121885bebd48f8c03a2b1c7b0bd943c67afd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Schneider Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:31:55 -0300 Subject: Alt-J joins lines and selects the spaces it put in helix-golf's text_into_array turns lines into an array with %ms"i,: join_selections_space joins like J and leaves one cursor on each space it inserted. J and Alt-J now make one edit over every range, as helix does, rather than J being replayed per range; that is what lets Alt-J hand back all the spaces as the new selection.
