I just ran into this same limitation when editing 20k+ lines at once. In my case it wasn't a big deal as I only had to repeat my actions twice, but for larger files it would certainly be a hindrance. Adding a defaultSettings.json preference (e.g. "editor.multiCursorMaxLines": 10000) that users could increase in their own environments would be much appreciated.

And where do you put the defaultSettings.json ?

[LesterCovax]

@pablo-romano - defaultSettings.json is just a built-in reference file that shows all available settings and their default values. Do a CTRL+SHIFT+P and search for open default settings. It's a useful reference when tweaking your settings file. I just mentioned it, as adding in a new settings option would also imply it's added to the defaultSettings.json.

@alexdima / @vscodebot (or whoever manages it)
Can you please clarify the language used in the previous message, regarding upvotes needed to move this to the backlog? Even after reading the included documentation link, and the fact that a Github issue itself cannot be upvoted, it's unclear whether one should upvote the initial post's comment or the comment from vscodebot in order to count towards the requisite 20 upvotes for backlog inclusion. Cheers.

@LesterCovax I think the opening post should be upvoted:

@chrmarti @kieferrm FYI there is some confusion about the bot language.

Was this implemented?

[mendeljacks]

This would be very useful for dealing with large files where for example you wanted to add a comma to line

[arthur-fuzaro]

Since has reached 60 upvotes, it's gonna be implemented?
