# Multi Edit

The Multi Edit plugin allows you to edit a document in multiple places at once. This can be helpful when performing tedious editing tasks.

# To enable the plugin:

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Preferences Plugins.

Select Multi Edit to enable the plugin.

After you have enabled the plugin, turn-on Multi Edit mode by pressing Ctrl Shift C, or press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Tools Multi Edit Mode. You can then select the points in your file that you would like start editing.

To insert editing points in your file:

Place your cursor at your first desired editing point.

Press Ctrl E.

Move to your next editing point, and press Ctrl E again.

Continue inserting editing points, adding as many as you need.

Once you have inserted all of your editing points, you can make your desired edits.

To remove editing points, press the Esc key. This will remove all of the editing points. Pressing the Esc key again will turn off Multi Edit mode, returning the editor back to its normal state.
