Once you have all of the carets located where you would like them, stop pressing the Control and Option keys and start typing. If you insert a caret in an incorrect location, you can remove the caret by continuing to hold the Control key and Option key and clicking in the same area again. You'll be in insertion mode as long as the Control and Option keys are held.
To use the mouse to insert multiple carets, you must press and hold the Control key and Option key and select where you would like the carets to be entered. Once the carets are set, each will echo the key entries you type on your keyboard. While the keyboard shortcuts are bound to matching strings, you can manually insert a caret anywhere in the document with the cursor. This command can be invoked multiple times.īy using your cursor, you're able to free select specific insertion points for your multiple carets. Likewise, if you invoke the command "Insert next matching caret" (⌥⇧.) then a caret will be placed at the next instance of the word "name". For example, if the caret is at the start of the word "name" and you invoke "Insert carets at all matching" (⌥⇧ ) each instance of the word "name" in your current document has a caret inserted at the start of the word. HotkeyĮach of these behaviors is anchored to the current position of the caret when you invoke the command.
⌥ is the Option/Alt key, and ⇧ is either Shift key. The following table provides the keyboard shortcuts available to enter specific modes of multi-caret editing. You're able to enable multi-caret mode via the keyboard in several ways. Multi-caret edit mode is disabled with the ESC key. The primary caret is a red cursor, and the secondary carets are in a light-blue color. When in multi-caret mode, you can add additional carets to your document with either mouse clicks or keyboard commands. Multi-caret editing allows you to add n number of insertion points at a single time. Applies to: Visual Studio for Mac Visual Studio
