multi caret

This allows the user to put more than one caret on different places and edit those places at the same time. If he adds a text for example, the text will be added to the positions of each of the carets. The carets are not necessarily on the same column. It can be made to work together with column selection. Instead of seeing just one small caret, the user will see a long caret encompassing the involved lines. This long caret is actually composed of multiple carets.

I need this feature!
Also:
Ctrl+Up : move current line UP
Ctrl+Down : move current line DOWN
CTRL+D : duplicate current line

This is a MUST! Do AkelPad have a plugin that does that?

Wonderful!
I'm using LinesSelectCopyMoveDuplicate.js
(goodbye Notepad++) :)


Now is there a solution to edit multiples line at once (multiple carets)?
Thanks!

For now AkelPad does not support multiple carets.
To insert text in column, you can use function "paste to column selection" (Alt+V) or script ColumnsReplace.js: viewtopic.php?t=917

Ok. That's a minor.
I'm sure AkelPad Team will implement that in the future.
Thanks!

I need the multi caret (and multi selection) feature too.
