VSCode[1] has multicursors and I believe that atom[2] does too... not advocating for your switch, you should be happy with whatever editor you choose, but, that feature is more wide-spread than people realize.

I think he just wanted to explain why Notepad++ and Geany are not an option for him.

Notepad++ have multicursors https://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/multi-editing.html and block editing https://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/column-mode-editing.h... . Don't know about Geany.

That's good to know, thx. The last time I checker Notepad++ did not have them and I decided to stay with Sublime.

Last time I've used Notepad++ was around 5 years ago and this feature was there already so it's there for a while. I'm glad that I could help.
