Essential Editing Features

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.
