I don't seem to be able to do multiple cursors in IntelliJ. That's a massively useful feature available in Sublime, Text Mate, VIM (via plugins), and Emacs (via plugins). Emacs can do almost anything. I can read my email, browse the web (with images, no less), chat via IRC and Jabber, open multiple terminals, manage my Git repositories, etc. I can't find anything like that in IntelliJ.
- leobelle 13y agoYou probably would use IntelliJ's refactoring instead of multiple cursors. Renaming variables, functions, editing function signatures, etc. Whatever you'd do with multiple cursors you would probably do with a refactor, or a search and replace. There's also column select mode.
- actsasbuffoon 13y agoI use multiple cursors for tons of stuff that can't be handled by search/replace, column selection, or refactoring tools. Once you really get into it, multiple cursors are a very powerful tool.
