Mastering the Multi-Cursor
March 1, 2026
If you're still manually editing ten lines of similar code, you’re working too hard! In VS Code, try using Alt + Click to place multiple cursors or Ctrl + Shift + L to select all occurrences of a word. It’s a game-changer for batch-updating variable names or wrapping a list of strings in quotes.
For those who love a clean workflow, Shift + Alt + I will put a cursor at the end of every selected line, making it incredibly easy to append semicolons or commas across a whole block without breaking your flow.
