jEdit appears to have had multiple cursors since at least 2005, though I don't know how useful they were.



Out of curiosity: I looked up the jEdit developer and it turns out that he's currently working on the Swift compiler at Apple!

They worked great and I stayed with jEdit long past when it was reasonable to do so because of that and so many other amazing features.


Why did it stop being reasonable?


jEdit was a seriously under rated text editor, I used the CRAP out of it in college.


Was? It is still being developed, the last version was released six months ago:

nice, I had no idea.
