Column editing in vim: https://youtu.be/dYDu9Hrg7yM?t=639

I saw a colleague doing the same thing (turn column of #defines into structs in an array) with multiple cursors in an IDE, took him much longer.

I paused to take a drag from my smoke while doing that.

Sorry but column editing is a stripped-down multicursor mode. I use vscode-vim (so, VSCode with Vim mode) and never use column editing because the IDE multicursor is much more powerful. Without being any sort of editing wizard, I'm finding your video example slow and mildly painful to watch
