<td class="content">
Text editors now provide various commands to support multiple carets/selections that can be bound to
user-defined keyboard shortcuts for easy selection of text regions in text editors. No default
keys have been assigned yet (suggestions below), but can be assigned via Window/Preferences/Keys:
<dl>
<dt><b>Multi selection down relative to anchor selection</b></dt>
<dd>Search next matching region and add it to the current selection, or remove first element from current multi-selection (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-J)</dd>
<dt><b>Multi selection up relative to anchor selection</b></dt>
<dd>Search next matching region above and add it to the current selection, or remove last element from current multi-selection (e.g. Alt-J)</dd>
<dt><b>End multi-selection</b></dt>
<dd>Unselects all multi-selections returning to a single cursor (e.g. ESC)</dd>
<dt><b>Add all matches to multi-selection</b></dt>
<dd>Looks for all regions matching the current selection or identifier and adds them to a multi-selection (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-Alt-J)</dd>
<dt><b>Multi caret up (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Up)</b></dt>
<dd>Add a new caret/multi selection above the current line, or remove the last caret/multi selection</dd>
<dt><b>Multi caret down (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Down)</b></dt>
<dd>>Add a new caret/multi selection below the current line, or remove the first caret/multi selection</dd>
</dl>
Besides that the display of multiple carets on the Windows platform has been improved to provide a
more stable user experience.<br/><br/>
