    In Linqpad, you can click inside the editor, then hold in shift + alt and click in rows above or below. Now you can for example add "public" before some properties for example, i.e. multi-edit.

    What I am missing is growing selection for example selecting a word and then hitting a key combination to select the next matching word in the next rows and being able to have a multi-cursor and insert text, just like in VsCode. So Linqpad got some multi-editing capability but not fully supporting multi-cursor closer to what VsCode got.

    Tore Aurstad supported this idea  ·

    What about multi editing or multi cursor ? VsCode and VS 2022 got some nice multi edit features. In VsCode, you can select some text and hit Ctrl+D to select same text in multiple lines and have multiple cursors and multi edit. You can move the multiple cursors with arrow keys. In VS 2022, Ctrl+Alt+"." is used. This is advanced text editing functionality, but if Linqpad could have some basic multi edit feature, it would boost user friendliness of the code editor.
