I am surprised at this: > Somewhere around 99% of my multiple cursors usage was adding a common prefix to a contiguous [series] of lines. I would say that it's somewhere around 25% of my usage. More common -- probably 50% or more -- is finding all occurrences of a string scattered throughout a file and making edits to that string that are more sophisticated than a simple find-replace can handle (e.g. edits that involve back-references). In many cases, I could probably write a regex, but using multiple cursors is so much easier.
