If you aren't using multi-cursors in VS Code yet, you're missing out on a serious productivity booster. By hitting Cmd+D (or Ctrl+D on Windows) while a word is highlighted, you can select the next occurrence of that word and edit them all simultaneously. It’s perfect for renaming local variables or updating a list of similar HTML tags without needing a complex find-and-replace.

For even more precision, you can use Alt+Click to place cursors anywhere you want on the screen. It feels like a superpower when you can refactor ten lines of boilerplate or reformat a messy JSON object in the time it usually takes to edit a single line.
