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?

hold shift+option and click. it works on macOs

[tcurdt]

A shame it's shift+option-click instead of the standard option-click.
But at least it works. Thanks!

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?

[benswift]

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

[benswift]

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