Does it have multi cursor support? CTRL-shift D highlight for all occurrences of a selected text? That is the only reason I spin up VScode for.

Not at the moment, but it’s something I use in VSCode, so it’s on the backlog to be brought, just low on the priority list.

Since find/replace works fine for the current use case (even if not optimal)

When that is in while keeping it lightweight, I will be a customer. Multi cursor is a an incredibly versatile find and replace. It can remove newlines at specific points. It can skip a few characters of text. It can go up and down a certain number of lines before manipulating text.

Got it. I'll take a look, but there's no timeline guarantees.

The use case is far too niche to move engineering efforts to immediately, so it'll be prioritised when either:

- the ask quantity increases.

- when an adjacent part of the code is being improved/fixed and this could be tacked upon in the same release.

Thanks for the suggestion!
