Multi-Cursor Script Editing: Now in Beta!

That’s a very niche problem though.

It actually is, it’s pretty hard to script I think but it would be great to have! If we had it I would certainly use this more often (if I will ever use it)

Sounds like you’ve never had to reformat or add fields to structured tables, or process large data into another format or adjust syntax, or make sweeping name format changes, etc. There’s a reason why this is a beloved feature in powerful text editors and some IDEs.

E.g. some videos here demonstrate use cases. Script editor multi-cursor

Yes! The update I was waiting for! VSCode had this feature, but when I used the Roblox script editor, I thought something was lacking. And THIS feature was lacking! And right now I’m feeling so happy! Hope to see it go public soon so that people who are not in the Beta program can use it too, it’s an absolute time saver! But I have to memorize all these new key binds tho.

I’m always really glad to see the Roblox team improving our built in tools! Congratulations to the team that out this together, and keep up the awesome work.

I’m just slightly worried that improvements to the built in code editor could be used as an argument not to work on support for external IDEs.

What? Those scripts don’t need you to write 10 time part, only a few times

If this is going to be helpful for a color changing script then your script is pretty messy.

[FIXED]
Found a bug:

Highlighted code in a script is unable to be drag/dropped to a different line when Multi-Cursor is enabled.

Very nice update! Just one thing I noticed is that it’s taking up a lot of CPU in my laptop, not sure if that has anything to do with this new update? I will keep an eye on it to see if it happens all the time or just this one time. Also if you can add a short cut to easily duplicate a line of code to the next line, that would be wonderful. For example in the Eclipse Editor, I believe you can place a cursor on a line and do alt-shift-down arrow to duplicate a line to the next line. Currently in Roblox, I would need to select a line, ctrl-c to copy, move my cursor to the next line and do ctrl-v to paste.
