I further examined scite and it seems it's amost there, I can set multiple carets with ctrl+mouse left click and can use then keys like left, right, end, ctrl+right etc to move the carets. I could't find a way to set multiple carets without mouse and get the same behavior.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In scite I can do block selection with Shift+Alt+Up but as soon as a press left/right/end/pos1 the multi carets disappear, it's not what I expect and prefer but multiple carets should rather be removed explicitly only with the escape key.

There's selection add next / each.
That's a awesome feature and I overlooked it yesterday, at least as often as this I do following:

Is this also supported? I wonder which editors invented simultaneous editing, it's super useful.
I've not the best eye-sight and love the fat caret of Visual Studio Code.
Isn't that the same as rectangular selection?

An option to allow left/right with rectangular selection may be reasonable if someone contributes an implementation.
