Multi-caret and multi-selection editing

Multi-caret editing allows you to activate multiple carets (blinking cursors in the text) within the active file. Each caret works independently of every other caret and most editing operations are performed at all caret positions simultaneously.

Mouse

Alt + mouse click	adds a new caret
Alt + double mouse click	highlights a word and adds a caret
Alt + triple mouse click	highlights a line and adds a caret
Alt + mouse movement	highlights text and adds a caret
Alt + Shift + mouse click/movement	highlights text in column mode and adds many carets

Keyboard

Esc	ends multi-caret editing
Alt + Shift + Up/Down/Page Up/Page Down	sets new carets in column mode
Alt + Shift + Left/Right	highlights text in column mode and adds carets
Alt + End	adds carets to the end of all lines in the current text selection
Ctrl + W	adds the next matching word to the current text selection and adds a caret
Shift + Ctrl + W	selects all matching occurrences of a word and adds a caret each time

In multi-cursor mode you can also use the clipboard.

On the page Multi-caret and multi-selection editing the functions of multi-cursor editing are presented in videos.
