for me in VS code for linux, I have multi-cursor on alt-shift-up/down as default and copy line on ctrl-alt-shift-up/down. This was default when I installed it.

Hmm,

I'm on Arch Linux with gnome-shell.

And Just installed a fresh version of VS Code.

Works like in the article 🤔🤔.

Strange. The official keymap for linux (link in the beginning of the article) also say that shift-alt+up/down is insert cursor above/below.

Yeah, strange.

Also, I'm using a german layout on my keyboard and in the system, I have chosen an English layout :D

I wrote this on a Windows machine. So yeah looks like there are slight differences in Windows and Linux but I use both and never paid attention to it.
