My biggest annoyances with VS Code (and in turn Cursor) is I've never been able to get Find + Multi-Cursor with arrow keys working like I did in Sublime Text I use it a lot to edit lists of text fast I go Cmd+Find "SGD" for example, then Find... show more

Ctrl+D to select the next occurance, Ctrl+F2 for all Alt+Click to place a cursor Ctrl+Shift+Arrow keys to put a cursor above/below (or alt if you're in windows) Also Sourcegraph Cody, Continue and others are better than Cursor. Cursor feels like a nanny, I'm not a kid.

Highlight the thing you want, press cmd+d to highlight the others. If you need the “highlight all” for large number then just need to change the key bindings in settings and then it works the same as Sublime

That’s why I switched to @Neovim as my main IDE/text editor. You named it: Sublime, (Atom), VSCode, Cursor. They come and go. But vi passed the test of time (48 years and counting). Learn vi once and stop learning new text editors. Also a great flex when someone watching your screen 😂

Command A + Command K + “What you want changed” in English–once AI is instant, will be Pareto superior to this

Have you tried selecting the pattern and then press cmd+d, it will select the next occurrence. Then press it multiple times to select them all

Ok so I did this and then I can't use the arrow keys?

Cursor has such a bad UI for such a good tool The code replacement is also whacky No option to just add lines in one click without deleting othes

Cmd D will select the occurrences one by one, dunno if there’s a “select all”. Works for shorter lists, when it’s a long boi it’s annoying to hold the combo for like a minute.

here you go

Just install the vim plugin and type :%s/SGD/(insert replacement here).
