>I think I can edit and navigate through text as fast as Vim users, using the native OS text editing hotkeys. I had to add 200 textboxes to a wpf form two weeks ago. Took me 60 seconds to generate the boilerplate with vim. If you can do it in under 5 minutes in notepad I'd be impressed, here's something similar to the data I was given: http://pastebin.com/Y7hyi2by http://pastebin.com/Y7hyi2by note: a) you can do this in excel with stringconcat, and b) the project could have been better designed to prevent the boilerplate but that was outside of my control

FYI, took me like 20 in Sublime Text. 1. Select lines. Shift-Ctrl-End, Alt-l, Home. 2. Type up to the first quote. 3. Move 3 words along. Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Right. 4. Second quote, comma. 5. Go to start of next word. Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Left. It's also easy to normalize spacing at this point if you just hold shift then press space. 6. Type "StatusType." 7. Press End, type ");". Most of the time was spent in point 2. Admittedly Alt-l isn't OS-native, but multiple cursors are so useful that you kind'a learn to assume them.
