eclipse multiple text selection like sublime text 2

by

This Eclipse plugin attempts to provide this feature: https://github.com/caspark/eclipse-multicursor. From the README:

What is this?

A work-in-progress attempt to provide Sublime-Text-like
multi cursor support for text editors in the Eclipse IDE.

What works?

  • Multiple identical lines can be edited simultaneously using Eclipse
    linked mode editing (similar to existing “rename in file”
    functionality)

Next steps

  • “select next” functionality + associated editing using Eclipse linked
    mode

  • “find next” + associated editing

  • editing of non-identical text / editing without using linked mode

  • split selection to lines

  • regexp support for find next
