Can you elaborate on the multi-line editing problems?
I've been using Sublime Text for a long time, and briefly used Visual Studio Code, and all the actions you've mentioned are supported (if I've understood them well).
However, I'm curious if I'm missing something.
- clord 8y agoMost of my issues with e.g., SublimeText are on the selection side of things. For example, last time I tried SublimeText, I tried ^W to build a multi-select. Didn't work. Tried incremental-find, didn't work. Finally try quick-find, didn't actually multi-select (yellow highlights), but then notice there are cursors without selection, so finally can move them around and build the selection. I don't remember there being any issues once the multi-cursors are turned on. Other editors get the other side of the coin wrong, and don't have all the movement operators needed to do a some jobs (word-move while selecting/deleting to remove ragged whitespace). That all said, there is a big component of what one is familiar with. I'll admit TM's multi-select was the first good implementation i've used and haven't strayed too much since.
