Multiline Editing

Multiline editing in VSCode - Stack Overflow

On Windows, you hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift while pressing the up ↑ or down ↓ arrow keys to add cursors. On Mac and Linux, the equivalents are ⌥ Opt+⌘ Cmd+↑/↓ and Shift+Alt+↑/↓, respectively.

Press Esc to reset to a single cursor.

Or you can hold Alt and left click to place cursors arbitrarily.

You can view and edit keyboard shortcuts via:

File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts
