Use Alt+Click to add multiple carets

#1

I would like Alt+Click to add multiple editing carets (instead of Command+Click). I’ve taken a look in the default mousemap, and I don’t see anything at all in there that appears bound to multiple carets.

How can I remap this?

I’m using Sublime Text 3.2.2 on macOS 10.14.6.

The mousemap entry that enables command+click is this one:

{
	"button": "button1", "count": 1, "modifiers": ["super"],
	"press_command": "drag_select",
	"press_args": {"additive": true}
}

You’d only need to create your User/Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap file and change "super" to "alt" to change it.

I would advise to include alt versions of all three of the first sections (Basic drag select, Drag select by words, Drag select by lines). Keep in mind this will disable the column-select behavior of the Alt + Mouse 1 Column select section unless you modified those as well.

Perfect, thanks for the pointer!
