Does VS Code support copying text in set range of lines?

Question

Suppose that I have 1 000 000 lines of text in .txt file. I want to copy lines from 350 000 to 700 000. Is there any shortcut for that?

VS Code v1.46 has a new selection anchor feature that helps you to select multiple lines easier.

1. Press Ctrl + G , type 350000 and hit Enter . It would jump to line 350 000.
2. Place your cursor at the very start of line 350 000. Press Ctrl + K Ctrl + B to set selection anchor. If this shortcut is not working, open command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P , search for 'Set Selection Anchor' and select that option.
3. After placing the selection anchor, you should see a thin vertical blue line at the very start of line 350 000
4. Jump to line 700 000 by pressing Ctrl + G , then type 700000 and hit Enter .
5. Place your cursor at very end of line 700 000. Press Ctrl + K Ctrl + K to select from anchor to cursor.
6. Now, lines 350 000 to 700 000 should be selected. Press Ctrl + C to copy them.
