No Multi-Cursor across Multiple Panes?

[Lozminda]

I’ve looked across google and this Forum, searching "multi cursor panes (Sublime Text 3) " and various combinations thereof and also actually tried to have one cursor in one pane and another in another pane. But no joy.

Is this expected behaviour ?

Is there a plugin someone could suggest please? (will that be Origami? Can you have multiple cursors in multiple panes?)

It seems a little strange that you can have multiple cursors but just in one pane… A powerful function curtailed by paneyness ! However I could be completely wrong (I am often) so if there is a solution I’d be very happy to hear it.

Cheers

A couple of unrelated observations:
As a fairly non interested noob, the ST’s 2/3 (&4) seem to take on an almost political dimension, which I certainly haven’t encountered with any other software (yet)…
Also I’m getting solutions or something that works about 80% - 90 ish % (*) of the time. That’s only my intuition I haven’t actually gone through all my queries. (It definitely isn’t 0% or 100%). With that in mind…

Finally to all the folks that have helped me over the last few months as I endlessly crash around ST3, thank you very much.

edit (I’ve been doing some procrastinating) solutions are at about 76 % ± 8% depending on how you view partial solutions

I don’t think you can have cursors in multiple panes at the same time. I haven’t seen or read about it (in any of the forum posts) at any rate. Someone might correct me If I am wrong.

Not sure what does “political dimension” mean in this context but if you are referring to numbers 2/3/4, then moving forward from v4, Sublime plans to drop the number & be just Sublime Text (without any number). At least, that’s what the dev’s have said at any rate.

@UltraInstinct05, thanks, I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case.

Re political dimension (for example):

Sublime v4

ST is not dead. It is a very small team that works on ST, and whenever they have their head down on complex features or issues, there is a long quite period before a release. ST2 had years before ST3 popped up, and during ST2 development there were quiet times just as there are in ST3. Throughout that period of time, people would do the same thing as now and question whether ST was dead. ST has moments where there are frequent releases, and moments of long silences. This has always been the dev…

When will sublime 3 be released?

Wow, I’m having TextMate flashbacks. Little or vague info from the dev. Forums posts from apologists and those in denial about the project’s status. TextMate was a paid product too, yet the developer has been dragging out an official 2.0 release for years. Most people have moved on, and for a while that was to SublimeText. However, competitors are on the horizon, some with more resources and a lot more professionalism than Sublime’s developer. TextMate missed an opportunity to continue to …

I come across this stuff whilst looking for solutions… Perhaps it’s just a symptom of Forums, I’m only on two. The other one doesn’t have that kind of dare I say it “sometimes inflammatory content”. Now this is all totally off topic, and probably not very productive (my bad). It was just an observation. It is a bit weird (to me). I’m sure others would refer to it as lively discussion even marketing maybe. As a noob to all this, it is a bit odd.

Ps I’ve just had a thought, IF we’re going to have a bit of a chat about this, should this go in the General Discussion pile rather than Tech Supp ? Or it could also be a complete waste of time even thinking about this stuff, again it was just an observation…
