Multi-line edit support

[abcd-ca]

Hi, I'm looking to find the keymap to add multiple cursors so that I can do a multi-line edit. In my other IDE I have a keycombo with the down arrow key that adds a cursor to the next line for as many lines as I need then I just start moving the cursor around and they all move and edit together on multiple lines like this:

Does it exist in Zed? Thank you.

Yes! Use alt-cmd-[up/down] to copy your cursor up or down :) you can also alt-click to place a multi-cursor in a specific spot.

While alt-cmd-up/down works for me, alt-click does not (on macOS 15).
Any pointers what I might be missing?

Yasss! Thanks, that was fast :)

I don't see it in the default bindings https://zed.dev/ref/default.json

The vis editor combines multiple cursors with sam's regular expressions. I really like this feature where you are able to do a regex search for selections, a range with an anchor, from which you are able to edit text.

This was one of the first things I looked for when Cmd+click didn't work and couldn't find it in the docs or default bindings. Can this be exposed for remapping?

did we ever get an answer to whether this can be re-mapped?

Oh, I found it - the command is editor::AddSelectionBelow. So yep, you can re-bind it just like any other command.
