In VSCode, you can enable multiple cursors by clicking on the desired positions while holding down Alt/Option. I think they’re enabled by default when making block selections (CBA to remember the modifiers you have to press while drawing a selection with the mouse). And to cover a whole file, first use Find to find the thing you want to change, then hit Alt/Option+Enter to select every instance of the subject string. Now any edit you make will affect every instance.

Basic stuff, but I see a lot of people not really taking advantage of the tools they might’ve been using for years.

Or Sublime Text

Or just use an editor built on this concept, like Helix.

Edit: Okay. I got downvoted and I see why. Let me rephrase:

If you are interested in this editing mode, you should check out editors that are built around this concept, like Helix (and certain vim/neovim configs/plugins). Having native integration makes it insanely powerful (and you don’t have to get Emacs pinky from all the modifier presses).
