Hello and welcome to the Code Minute podcast. Today we’re diving into Visual Studio Code’s multi-cursor editing feature, which lets you place more than one cursor in your file to edit several lines at once. As the article says, you can “type once and apply that change across multiple places,” making repetitive tasks like renaming variables or updating class names a breeze.

You can place cursors manually by holding Alt on Windows or Linux, Option on Mac, and clicking where you need them. Or speed things up with keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + Alt + Up or Down to add cursors in a column, Ctrl + D to “select the next occurrence,” and Ctrl + Shift + L to “select all occurrences” in the file. Once your cursors are set, just type, delete, or paste and watch the edits happen in sync.

Start simple, build your muscle memory, and soon multi-cursor editing will become second nature. That’s all for today—thanks for listening!
