I try to do a tiny snippet of programming in the mornings or evenings. Currently I'm looking at my "extending the selection" code and how it interacts (badly) with multiple cursors. I guess I don't understand the attraction of multiple cursors compared to "record a keyboard macro once and then replay it for the rest of the file, for a fixed number of times, or as long as I keep pressing a key" (the way standard Emacs allows me to) compared to alt-clicking a number of times at just the right spot (I guess my mousing is terrible) to place the cursors and then do the necessary edits. Whenever something like this comes, I'm editing data files or something like that so I would have to place hundreds or thousands of cursors… Only one of these approaches scales. I must be missing something about multiple cursors. Do you use them on a regular basis?
