Jedit has had multiple cursors built in for years. like '08 at least.

And multiple selections. I didn't find any use case for them.

They're GREAT for refactoring. Select something. CTRL-D a few times to keep selecting other instances of the same thing. It's not global find and replace.

Or, when you have a nice set of lined up/indented declarations, it's trivial to just right-click+SHIFT and drag a cursor before every line and start typing.
