copy_selection_on_prev_line

Copies the current primary selection to the first previous line long enough to accomodate it.

--- Examples ---

The selection is copied from line 2 to line 1. ┌───────────────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ This is text on line 1. │ --> │ This is text (on line 1]. │ │ This is text (on line 2]. │ │ This is text (on line 2]. │ └───────────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────────┘

The selection duplication skips line 2 because it is too short. ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │ This is a longer line of text. │ │ This is a longer li(ne of t]ext. │ │ This is a shorter line. │ --> │ This is a shorter line. │ │ This is another lon(ger lin]e. │ │ This is another lon(ger lin]e. │ └──────────────────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────────────┘
