Horizontal list to vertical list and vice versa - Sublime Text 2

Question

I can't remember where I saw it or read it, but appearantly there is a shortcut for transforming a horizontal list of words seperated with commas or even without commas, into a vertical list allowing me to quickly build a UL with LI tags for the vertical list.

I just need the shortcut to make a vertical list out of a common sentence, I have a windows 8 OS.

That works for the vice versa what I'm looking for, but do you know the shortcut for making a vertical list a horizontal? I tried [Ctr] + [J] and it only worked for turning a vertical list into a horizontal. – Christiano

You don't by any chance know how to do this the vice versa way do you? So i have a sentence and want to make each word a list item. – Christiano

The key binding for Join Lines has changed to Cmd+Shift+J on Mac. (MacOS Ventura 13.3.1) – Robertroberta

Answer 2

for vise versa - horizontal to vertical

suppose not the best way but i use it

works for lists such as A,B,C,... maybe also possible for other

1) find all {your delimiter} (Ctrl+F , Alt+Enter)

2) remove multi selection from delimiter (Shift+<- ->)

3) Enter

Note: Even Alt + F3 does the same in one stroke !!

I think you should read your answer carefully. It seems, to me, that you have one of the actions described incorrectly ... or do both actions perform the same task? – Dowson

CTRL+SHIFT+J on Windows work,thanks – Amaras

Answer 4

CTRL-H (Find and Replace)

Find = "," or your delimiter Replace with = "\n"

Make sure, the EXTENDED radio button is selected in the Search Mode block
