Brackets is wonderful, but it's Brackets JS Completion vs Sublime Text multi-cursor behavior for me and the latter is too useful to give up.

  Interesting! Multi-cursor is one of those things that I personally tended to use only from time-to-time when Sublime was my primary editor (I'm on the Brackets team, so you can guess what I use now).

    The most typical use is for me to abuse the heck out of command-d. This will select the current word (if none selected) and then each subsequent press of this command adds the next occurrence of the selected text to the selection. I also like the ability to use option-drag down a column for block selection when I have text from some source that needs a bit of munging on each line. Thanks much for that link. I'll check it out.

      The thing I don't get about Cmd+D is, what do you do when you get to an occurrence you don't want to include in your selection? There doesn't appear to be any "skip" shortcut -- is there? I always prefer nice Replace All commands where you can see a condensed overview of all occurrences and then uncheck things you want to exclude. When Brackets added that it made me very happy :-)

        The "skip" shortcut is Cmd+K, Cmd+D. You can also undo selection with Cmd+U to step backwards.
