Title says it all really. Would love to see this feature added so we can perform multi-line editing like that available in Sublime and Atom.
Multi-line editing is definitely a time saver, such as when working with tab-delimited data files. I use xed for almost every task and switching to other editors is also a waste of time. I hope to see this feature in xed in future :)
Two years. Almost three years. Alas. I presume it wasn't added because the supplied PR presented a ... subpar user experience. We don't want that either. But. It's annoying that I have to switch to vim just to perform this function and then switch back. So ... here you go: another vote for this feature.

I second this, ctrl+click multiple cursor support would be amazing.

CTRL+D to create multiple cursors from a selection too :)

at least for gedit there is a plugin shipped in this package:
gedit-plugin-multi-editSource of that
here is another one i didnt test
Maybe that helps for developing a own plugin or maybe port them to xed.
