Multi-Cursor Editing in Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) offers a powerful functionality called "Multi-Cursor Editing," allowing developers to make simultaneous edits at multiple locations in a document.

Using Multi-Cursor Editing

Basic Multi-Cursor

  1. Place the cursor at the desired location in the editor.
  2. Press Alt (Option on macOS) and hold it while clicking at other positions where you want to insert the cursor.
  3. Now, type or edit the content simultaneously at all selected cursor locations.
// Simple JavaScript function to greet the user
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

// Call the greet function and display the result in the console
console.log(greet("John"));
