Simultaneously edit in more than one location in the editor
If you've ever ran into a case where you wanted to quickly change variable names or multiple loop conditions - you can use Multi Edit Mode to set virtual carets that all behave the same.
ALT+Click on different locations in your code to set multiple carets, and then type as you normally would.
