In Visual Studio 2019 is there a way to multi caret copy and paste?

Viewed 140

In Other IDEs I can for example place a caret at the end of this. on each line and then highlight and copy the contents of the rest of the line and then paste it.

At first it looks like this

this.emailaddr = 
this.firstname = 
this.lastname = 

Then after the paste it looks like this

this.emailaddr = emailaddr = 
this.firstname = firstname = 
this.lastname = lastname = 

Since each caret is now at the end of each line I simply back space 2 times and add ; to finish

this.emailaddr = emailaddr;
this.firstname = firstname; 
this.lastname = lastname;

However In Visual Studio I get this when I paste

            this.emailaddr = emailaddr =
firstname =
lastname =

            this.firstname = emailaddr = 
firstname = 
lastname = 

            this.lastname = emailaddr = 
firstname = 
lastname = 

Is this just an issue with Visual Studio code copying the contents to only one clipboard. Why in other IDE's each caret has its own memory for copy? Is there a setting to configure in Visual Studio?
