Re:VS Code can do that? by ehsankia on Saturday April 21, 2018 @03:05PM (#16892808)
Editors like n++ have column editing, but Sublime takes it to a different level. It's most generalized, it's multi-cursor.

You can for example put your cursor on a word, spam ctrl+d (of press alt+f3) to select all instances of that word, and start editing them all at ones, no matter where they are. They don't have to be perfectly in a column. You can also copy X items from anywhere, and if you have X cursors again somewhere else and paste, they'll each go in their respective slot.
