Mastering the Multi-Cursor Flow in VS Code

February 14, 2026

If you aren't using multi-cursors yet, you're missing out on one of the best productivity boosters in VS Code. Instead of manually editing ten lines of similar code, just highlight the first instance of a word and hit Cmd+D (or Ctrl+D) to select the next occurrence. You can then type, delete, or paste across all those spots simultaneously. For even more power, hold Option (or Alt) and click anywhere to place cursors manually. It makes refactoring repetitive HTML or CSS classes feel like magic.
