Thanks for the feedback. I agree it would be better to be selection-aware.
It being designed that way is the issue. VSCode generally applies modifications like this to all lines selected, whether that is through multi-line selection or through multi-cursor selection. This particular shortcut only applies it to the beginning of whatever the first line of the selection is, which severely limits the utility of the shortcut since you might as well just type in the characters rather than use the shortcut.
