Xcode now has a hidden preference for multiple cursors. Hoping the feature can (finally) come to BBEdit!

Since I don't use Xcode, what does this feature do? (I got a picture of
how it works in my mind ... but my idea is just silly)

Hey Jan,

Been a while... :)

BBEdit will do this after a fashion.

Make a vertical selection and then type something.

Unfortunately the feature does not handle discontiguous selections, so its utility is limited (for now).

I do think it foreshadows things to come though.

It reminds me of the Firesign Theater's second album.

Oh, I think I just created a post on this and this probably answers my question. "No for the time being"
