I’ve known this for a long time, but never found a use for it.
In the example provided it would’ve been much easier and faster to write down the first line, duplicate it down usingShift + Alt + Arrow Down
(iirc) and type the remaining symbol.Multi-cursor is useful in other situations though. Like when you want to select and replace a few cases but not all. For example, change some new lines to spaces or vise versa.
this sucks for some linux users. in some de’s and wm’s alt+left click is a shortcut for moving windows. notepad++ has the same bindings, too. it’s a little annoying.
The best part is that each cursor has its own clipboard, which makes making setter getters way fast
You truly are the hero we need but don’t deserve 🫡
Bonustip: Use F in 2D view to focus on the selected node, ensuring it’s centered and perfectly framed in your workspace!
Same for 3d
I like this concept. Dont get burnt out! Switch to Bi-Daily if you start feeling less compelled, but this type of commitment will definitely help the community grow!
Thanks for doing it!
IMO multiple cursors give you 90% of Vim’s power without forcing you to learn a gazillion mnemonics.
Ctrl-D is all you need.
Ategon, please and thank you. You are the hero this lemmycom needs, and this tip was new for me.
As said by others: keeping this up would be fantastic. Fighting the good fight. <3
If you also have any tips, please make a post about it.
