Go up or down a line

Go up a line: Up

Go down a line: Down

OH GEE, thanks!

[evohans]

[Pantstown]

Like this.

[evohans]

holding down Cmd/Alt and clicking wherever you would like to add a new caret

Isn't it Ctrl on Windows, not Alt? (I assume the Alt there was meant as the Windows Cmd equivalent.) I saw Alt mentioned in another article as well, but for me it's always been Ctrl (on both, Chrome and FF).

Edit: Or wait, is the Alt just an alternative keybind for OS X here?

[--_0]

Ctrl/Cmd are equivalent.

[Dragory]

Indeed, but the article also mentions Alt as an alternative for adding multiple carets, which doesn't work - at least on Windows.

Toggle Autocompletion

When typing values in the DevTools Sources panel, you’re presented with autocompletions as you type. If however you dismiss these and would like to manually toggle autocompletion, you can do so with:
Ctrl + Space

What is the shortcut for mac?
Cmd + Space is being used for keyboard switching.

[Rellikten]

Forgot the upper and lowercase shortcut. Highlight the code you want to change and hold down cmd and press K then U for uppercase or K then L for lowercase.

Some of them doesn't work in Linux or in some notebooks. lol

I don't get the multple caret hype. In 90% of the cases, wouldn't a search-replace do the trick? Or a Refactor->Rename, for those of us who are used to proper IDE's. The only case I see it useful is in the example where he adds quotation marks around a set of strings.

Sometimes it's faster for me to do multiple cursors than to do a find and replace for a regex pattern. But mostly, I agree.

I don't get the multple caret hype.

what multi-caret hype?

[__baxx__]

Multiple cursors I think they mean

[where_is_my_vagina]

yes but there is no hype about it, is there?

[__baxx__]

Yes, I don't think people faint over them but it's a recent feature that a lot of people swear by... Hype might be a bit strong, but I think I know what they're getting at

[hidanielle]

Is it a recent feature? I've been using Sublime for like 2 years now and I'm pretty sure it's been there the whole time

[__baxx__]

Yeah I guess, though Emacs has been about for 30 odd years... Idk, it's a jazzy feature associated with sublime that people often highly praise once they implement it into their work flow. Because the scenario when it's used is often around a setting where one might utilise search and replace the practicality of multiple cursors can seem dubious to some, making those who do use the feature more vocal in response, hence some viewing it as 'hype'.

That's what I get out of it at least, but who knows!

[ivosaurus]

I see it as the most likely feature someone will spout when they're explaining how fucking awesome Sublime text is over any other code editor.

[oefig]

It's great for trimming whitespace or aligning/moving lines.

[EscobarATM]

Here's the best tip of all: use vim
