Can you insert multiple carets/cursors to edit multiple lines simultaneously? Something like this.

This feature is present in most IDEs and text editors nowadays, but I can't find an option to bind it in MonoDevelop Preferences... -> Environment -> Key Bindings .

I am using MonoDevelop Version 7.8.4 (build 2) on Ubuntu 22.04

The second hit on Google for "MonoDevelop multiline edit" is a blog post by Mikayla Hutchinson that explains how to edit multiple lines at once in MonoDevelop:

To make a block selection, drag the mouse between the start and end points while holding down the Alt key on Linux [...]
Alternatively, you can make a normal selection, then use the Edit->Toggle block selection mode to toggle the selection into a block selection with the same start and end points

  • This does answer my question. Unfortunately I have just understood that I asked the wrong question. I'll ask another one then. – ikorniie Sep 11 '22 at 12:53
  • No need to ask a new question. Feel free to edit the current one and clarify what you're looking for (unless it's totally different from the original question, then yes, a new question is better.). – Saaru Lindestøkke Sep 11 '22 at 13:44
