eclipse multiple text selection like sublime text 2

Alt + Shift + A, then you can hold shift and use the cursor in multiple lines.


This feature is available in LiClipse.

See it in action (more towards the end of the video).

It supports linking with Ctrl+K, unlink with Shift+Alt+K, Ctrl+Alt+mouse double click to select words or Ctrl+Alt+Mouse to make a selection of a region (or just end lines).


Preferences>General>keys>Rename - refactoring I changed the binding to command + shift + R when > Editing Text. Sorry for bringing up an old question, stumbled upon it after searching google for the problem


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
