Sublime Text 2 multiple line edit
8 answers
I was using Notepad++ and now I want to use the same cool features in Sublime but I don't know how.
I want to edit multiple lines at the same time like this:
But I don't want to Ctrl+Click at each line for this. I want to click at first line and click at last line for one vertical line.
How I can do this?
Select multiple lines by clicking first line then holding shift and clicking last line. Then press:
CTRL+SHIFT+L
or on MAC: CMD+SHIFT+L (as per comments)
Alternatively you can select lines and go to SELECTION MENU >> SPLIT INTO LINES.
Now you can edit multiple lines, move cursors etc. for all selected lines.
Use CTRL+D
at each line and it will find the matching words and select them then you can use multiple cursors.
You can also use find to find all the occurrences and then it would be multiple cursors too.
Thank you for all answers!
I found it! It calls "Column selection (for Sublime)" and "Column Mode Editing (for Notepad++)"
