| <b>Text editors</b> 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 <b>Window > Preferences > Keys</b>: |
| <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. <b>Ctrl-Alt-J</b>).</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. <b>Alt-J</b>).</dd> |
| <dt><b>End multi-selection</b></dt> |
| <dd>Unselects all multi-selections returning to a single cursor (e.g. <b>Esc</b>)</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. <b>Ctrl-Shift-Alt-J</b>).</dd> |
| <dt><b>Multi caret up</b></dt> |
| <dd>Add a new caret/multi selection above the current line, or remove the last caret/multi selection (e.g. <b>Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Up</b>).</dd> |
| <dt><b>Multi caret down</b></dt> |
| <dd>Add a new caret/multi selection below the current line, or remove the first caret/multi selection (e.g. <b>Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Down</b>).</dd> |
| </dl> |
| In addition to the above, the display of multiple carets on the Windows platform has been improved to provide a |
| more stable user experience.<br/><br/> |
