      Hi,
      I was wondering if it is possible with N++ to keep multi-carets while moving cursor,.
      I.E. I have a list of system names:

      PBAP
      PBAR
      PITEPRD
      PITEPRD1
      PITETST
      PROG655
      PTR2PROD
      SPIN
      TCPM
      TCPM
      TESSPROD
      TESSTEST[

      I press “Home” button, then I press “Shift-Alt” and click just before the first T of the last line, so I have a multi-line caret. Now I can write whatever I want and I can use Backspace too, but I can’t edit lines as multi-line “disappear” as I press cursor keys or try to move to end of lines with End key.

        Install the BetterMultiSelection plugin (created by me). It is not available through the plugin manager but you can easily download and install it. You can do stuff like this:

          That’s how a Multi-line tool should be!
          Thanks!
