If you find yourself manually changing a variable name across ten different lines, you're working too hard. In VS Code, you can hit 'Ctrl+D' (or 'Cmd+D' on Mac) to select the next occurrence of whatever word your cursor is currently on.

If you want to place cursors manually anywhere you click, just hold 'Alt' (or 'Option') and start clicking. It feels like having superpowers once you get the muscle memory down.
