I've been using vim a lot recently. Multiple cursors for this exact scenario is the only thing I still miss about other editors.

Macros and other solutions are great, but for this very simple and surprisingly common task, multiple cursors are perfect.

Multiple cursors has been supported for quite some time now in VSCode, as well as related useful default editor shortcuts like jump cursor by word, beginning/end of line, etc, that are especially useful when moving around multiple cursors/selections simultaneously.
