I am not saying it's better or you shouldn't use multiple cursors. It does help a lot as opposed to the old way of not seeing what would have been changed.

How does multiple cursors work anyway? How do you place them? By search? Is it used for anything other than working on matching text?

Your place them via search, manual click, extending up/down the line, via "match current word"

And it's also used for new text entry, not just editing matching text, e.g., add an extra field to each of these 5 arrays
