Editing multiple points

In the multi-cursor editing, the same text can be input at multiple desired points at once.

You can add your insertion points (cursors / selections) by the following ways:

• To add an insertion point at the desired location, click or drag the point while pressing Command.
• To add insertion points at the same column in multiple continuous lines, drag the area while pressing Option (rectangular selection).
• To add an insertion point just above or below the current insertion point, press Control-Shift-↑ or Control-Shift-↓.

To remove one of the multiple insertion points:

• Command-click the insertion point to remove.

To end the multi-cursor editing mode:

• Click or drag somewhere in the editor without modifier keys by setting a single insertion point at the location.
• Press Esc key and all insertion points except the top one are discarded.

The multi-curor editing currently doesn't support the text input that requires user selection after input, such as Japanese. In such cases, multi-cursor editing finishes automatically when typed and text is input only at a single point.
