Thanks for making this available - much appreciated!

Sweet!

Any chance you would want to publish to a git repo and make it available through package control?

If not, I can do it....

Is it possible to get this to work with SublimeMarkAndMove?

Wow, I didn't even notice all of the comments on this until now. I've not used SublimeMarkAndMove (though I want to now that I know of its existence) so I'd have to look into it. I know this works with the regular multi-select that's baked in.
