Does it support multi-selection, Sublime style? I just can't use an editor without it anymore.
This is a bit OT, but Komodo got an update some days ago with multi-selection support, which I was quite excited to try. Only to find out their implementation is quite frankly useless.

'Right-click in the editor and choose "Select --> Multiple Selection --> Add", then use Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) to quickly make additional selections.'
- Kerrick 13y agoMost cases where you'd need multi-selection you can likely use Refactor in an IntelliJ IDE.
- robert-wallis 13y agoI just created a model from a table with over 20 columns. A few days ago I had to hardcode a list of settings I screenscraped into a JS array in the Chrome console. You can't refactor things like that.
- Derander 13y agoFor those sorts of things I think it's completely reasonable to drop into emacs, vim or sublime and then just copy paste back into your primary IDE. When it's a text editing operation that you're trying to do (as opposed to a defined transformation on valid source) then it makes sense to use a text editor. I keep emacs and intellij open usually.
- donalmacc 13y agoI usually have the files open in both the IDE and in sublime. Any program worth its salt will be able to cope with me changing in another program and reload the changes.
- zeckalpha 13y agoYou should. But there is also column selection mode.
- gknoy 13y agoA sibling mentioned refactoring, but one thing I also use a lot is column-mode editing. It's something you can toggle just like you can in Eclipse, and can be very useful. Not quote as useful as selecting multiple regions to edit, I agree, but still very good. For me, the killer things in PyCharm are the excellent Python library support, and the fact that it indexes my codebase so that "Where is this defined?" is extremely fast. That is the feature I use all the time which is less convenient to do with many other editors.
- jedberg 13y agoBy multi-selection do you mean putting multiple things in the buffer? Because you can do that if you use Vim mode (using the standard multiple buffers of vim).
- mhitza 13y agoIf you would have actually looked in the menu, there is a default shortcut. CTRL+K,CTRL+Y to mark current selection (or if no selection word under cursor), then CTRL+D to map next occurence.
