Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes. It's hard to edit multiple places at once without multi-cursor support — something common in modern editors.

Describe the solution you'd like
Basic multi-caret/multi-selection support (like VS Code or Sublime) for editing multiple lines or tokens at once.

Describe alternatives you've considered
