I like vim and use it almost every day, but sometimes I miss Strg+D and Alt+F3 from Sublime (multi edit). Block select + c isn't as useful as this.

the vim-visual-multi plugin tries to do this. It takes some time to get the hang of it, but, even if using only the simplest features, it's way better than not having the option.

Thank you, I will try it.
Seems that I need to remap a few keys like for NerdTree and my tab switch.

Works like a charm. Thanks again. Even mouse selection.

Give the Kakoune editor a try for native multi cursor editing. Or better yet, if you are a developer, the Helix editor.

I'm a web developer and transitioned quite seamlessly to the Helix editor from Visual Studio Code without much hassle.

The Helix editor is growing and gaining new functionality all the time.
