Select multiple lines with cursors at each line start

Question

I want to select multiple lines and put a cursor at the beginning of each line. Sublime Text can do this with Ctrl-Shift-L select multiple

Answer 1

1. Put cursor at beginning of first line

2. Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Arrow down/up will put a cursor at the beginning of the following/preceding lines

3. Ctrl-I will select those lines with the cursor at the beginning of each line.

NOTE : On my vscode the cursors look like they might be shifted down one line but they actually are not - the are in the right place. If you start typing, it works but you have to hit Enter when you are done to get back separate lines. It is a little quirky but works as you would expect.

EDIT (using a hint from @Maxime's answer)

1. Select your test first.
2. Alt-Shift-I : puts cursors at the end of each of those lines but text unselected (I as in island not a lowercase L)
3. Function-Home : put cursors at beginning of each line.
4. Ctrl-I : selects all lines.

Important: read the NOTE above.
