    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!
