MultiEditing for Visual Studio 2012/2013

Simultaneously edit in more than one location in the editor

If you've ever ran into a case where you wanted to quickly change variable names or multiple loop conditions - you can use Multi-Edit to set virtual carets that all behave the same.

You can check an installable extension on the gallery for Visual Studio 2012.

How to use

ALT Click on different locations in your code to set multiple carets, and then type as you normally would.

Version 1.6 supports:

• [NEW] Better integration with Ctrl+Alt+Drag (column selection mode)
• Support for all languages
• Typing
• Pressing Enter / Backspacing / Deleting
• TABing, Shift-Tabbing
• Moving the caret around using the keyboard
• Pasting
• Intersected carets are removed
• Undo-ing

What isn't supported:

• Multiple selections
• Virtual Spaces

Special Thanks

Thanks to Xavier Poinas for adding support to all languages other than C# (and teaching me something new)
