Multi-Editing and Column Mode
Alt+drag lets you select a rectangular block, then type to fill it in one go. Multi-cursor via Alt+Click adds several edit points at once. Column inserts are ideal for aligning data or adding a prefix to many lines.
Line Operations
- Ctrl+D - Duplicate the current line.
- Ctrl+L - Delete the current line.
- Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down - Move a line.
- Ctrl+J - Join lines.
Bookmarks
Click in the left margin to bookmark lines. F2 jumps between them; they survive restarts and can be removed all at once, a lifesaver when scanning long logs.
Auto-Completion
Ctrl+Space offers word completion based on the open file, and functions complete against the parsed language where a syntax definition exists.
Key Points
- Column and multi-select editing shape text fast.
- Line shortcuts remove repetitive finger work.
- Bookmarks navigate huge files safely.
- Auto-completion speeds up plain-text code.
