Notebook: Support multiline edit

[guillaume-chevalier]

I would love the support of multiline edit in the web notebook cells, like what can be done in Atom, Sublime, and many other IDEs.

Would you mind describing in better detail or show an example ? Because I'm unsure about what "Multiline Edit" means.

What's done in your image is exactly what I need. I searched for keyboard shortcuts and I also tried to use a nbextention, but all of that didn't work.

How did you do that?

on Mac Cmd+Click on various location, not sure on windows/linux.
When you use sublime there is a shortcut (Cmd-D I think) that select next identical token.
But all these shortcuts are Codemirror shortcuts duplicating all the documentation of codemirror would be a lost battle so if you want to know more you'll have to see there.

I believe alt-click-drag should allow selection of rectangular block for edition.

Closing, feel free to keep commenting.

Thanks a lot. I discovered that I had a chrome binding with a plugin for CTRL+CLICK overriding it and that was a part of the problem.
