Re: multicursors, that's what macros are for.
- hobofan 9y agoSure, you can do most things with macros, but I prefer the interactivity of multicursors. With macros I have to carfully plan out how the macro will affect all the different instances where I let the macro run, and if something goes wrong, I have to revert it and try again. With multicursors I also have to do some trial and error, but usually much less since I can immediately see how each step influences the text at all cursor instances, and revert it in a much more granular way. If I have to do some heavier processing for 100-1000+ lines, I still use macros, but for most cases in my day to day programming multicursors just feel better.
